Day Four

Our last day.....and it really went too fast, but we still were able to enjoy alot of stuff and hang out with our new Iowa friends!



Another moment of pouting.


Steve did find an Iowa Hawkeye skull that he just had to have! :)
 
They just loved the beach...they just stood there holding hands and melting my heart, so I took a million pictures to remember the moment!










The Iowa crew!
Doing shots...yes, Presley has one. The bartender made her a virgin rainbow shot! HA!
They wanted bracelets made with their names on them...since it's impossible to find their names on anything!

They had an Ironman contest and our Clive friends joined in the fun! Julie took it seriously and put on her one-piece suit and swim cap! Too funny!

Their daughter, Keira is a great swimmer and ended up winning the Iron Man contest!
10 squats
Dive and swim across the pool
10 push ups
then you surf over to the other side and do a belly flop! :)
Julie's turn!

Dean's turn!


Even 8 year old Quinn went!







One last hurrah on the beach before dinner.....
The Clive crew

Piper wrote Goodrich in the sand!
Keira, Iron Man winner! :)


Fun on the balcony before dinner.





 

She wanted one more item from the gift shop...this cowgirl doll who had 'dark hair like her'
The Altoona crew

We saw the Michael Jackson show this night, which was pretty good too. We had front row seats and the kids enjoyed all the dancing and singing! We sat in the Lobby Bar for a bit after the show, Piper and I did some dancing and we tried to make the night last as long as possible since we had to leave the next morning! :(

After a long travel day on Sunday, with grouchy, sensitive kids who didn't want to wait in any lines in airports we finally make it back to Iowa before the freezing rain started. We were able to catch the beginning of the Packer game in the Dallas airport so that was a plus! We were all glad to get home but so sad to leave the warm air and fun with no schedule!
We have decided that this vacation wasn't THAT much different then when we don't take them. I go to bed earlier but other than that....so we will definitely be doing this again!
