Jeremiah was bound and determined to go to Florida this year and after several failed attempts to talk him out of it Things 1-7 decided we would all go visit him for the last weekend of his trip.
Brian arranged a VRBO for us right on the beach in Fort Meyers which was just big enough for the 6 of us, Kevin and Dad had their own place. We were introduced to skippy ball from Dan, a very therapeutic competitive beach game. The premise of the game is to bounce or skip the ball off the water and the other player has to catch the ball if they drop the ball the skipper gets a point play to 10 win by two. Thats it.
We also learned how to play Monopoly Deal arguably the greatest game of all time. It is like regular monopoly except no board and it plays really fast. So we basically played this two games the entire time we were there.
Tom made several fabulous meals including Cajun Pork Cops with leeks, radishes and gorgonzola a spicy and creamy seafood chowder with homemade soft pretzels. On Saturday night we celebrated Brian's birthday and he wanted a taco bar so Dan and Tom teamed up and had a blast in the kitchen and on the grill creating an awesome meal.
Katie thought it would be great to have matching t-shirts and arranged for the Things1-7 as well as a Father of all Things for Dad, she neglected to ask ahead of time as to how much they cost and we when we found out they were $50 a piece she received several unblogable comments!
It was a great sibling trip we couldn't remember the last time we we're all together and we of course missed our Mom. The Beach Bar was our Mom's favorite place on the island so we had to make a trip to get lunch and of course beach bread.
Thanks to everyone for contributing to the fun it was great to see Dad in Florida we could all tell he had a great time while he was there.
