FL trip--day 6

Sunday, December 25, 2016
Christmas morning started with a beautiful sunrise and a single dolphin heading east close to us. 

The day turned out to be absolutely perfect weather. Sunny and 72, just enough breeze for Mike to fly a kite on the beach:

The kids spent some time at the pool and hot tub, and then we went to Mom & Dad's for Christmas lunch.

 I brought a "celebration roast" (fake meat made of grains and vegetables). Everyone else had ham.  Baked potato (mine had Kite Hill "cheese" from Whole Foods), delicious broccoli/cauliflower salad and carrots.

 

 Then we played a game where you have to draw a Christmas picture on a plate on top of your head.

Amy won. 

Then it was bubble time.  I thought maybe the kids would be too old for bubbles, but it was oldest two who were most interested:

Family picture on the beach (after all meeting up in the elevator).

We stayed on the beach and watched a gorgeous sunset.

 

 The palm trees are decorated for Christmas.

Saw this cute little frog on the wall.

Mike and my dad fed the ducks and coots.

Mom and I swam and sat in the hot tub.  Poker night at our place with Mike, Noah, Sam, and Ben.
