Early Party and tough goodbyes

We had a good time with my folks.  The kids spent a lot of time swimming at the hotel pool with them.  They're all getting really comfortable in the water and want to learn to really swim.  It's neat to see them trying so hard. 

My Mom wanted to have a little party for Elsa while she was here, so we did that last night

Ephraim especially enjoyed the cake.  He usually will plant himself between 2 people eating dessert so he can get as much cake and ice cream as possible.

This morning the kids had breakfast with Mom and Dad at the hotel and then went swimming.  Finally, for a fun ride on the luggage cart

Then it was time to say goodbye. Goodbyes are really hard. But spending time with those we love is often worth the sadness that follows

Impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time I guess, so I'll put in 2 pics

And the some pics of our little family (needed 2 of these too since Dave looked bad here, haha)
