A Visit from the SGs!

The Barlows, Hartzlers and Spencer-Gardners at Crazy Fish!

This past weekend, we happily hosted some residency friends (the Spencer-Gardners) from Rochester who are down in Florida for a little vacation. Luke, an orthopedic surgery resident with Jon, Jessica and their daughters, Ella and Chloe, arrived on Saturday morning after an eventful flight the night before. Once they arrived on Saturday, we immediately departed for the beach to meet up with Hartzlers for some fun in the sun. The waves were HUGE, the temperature was perfect, and the sand felt wonderful in our toes! Unfortunately, after about an hour on the beach, a thunderstorm rolled in and we were forced to leave (I wonder why??)...We were sad to be kicked out of the water, but we made the best of our time. We all came back to the apartments to regroup with showers and naps. Once everyone was clean and happy, we had a little cookout on the patio. Ella, Witten and Huey provided the entertainment by playing, chasing and just being cute little kids/dog! After the kiddos went to bed, we adults enjoyed some grown up time. We played Bananagrams (which Jon won) and Spoons (which Jon also won)! We were an extremely competitive group, and I will tell you that there was a lot of trash talking, some diving for spoons, and even a few minor injuries! It was a really fun night! Sunday morning we woke up and all (Hartlers, SGs, and Barlows) ate breakfast at our place. We hung out during the morning hours, and then hit up Crazy Fish (a hole in the wall, yummy fish joint on the intercoastal waterway) for lunch . The fish tacos were delicious! We got to sit outside and soak up a little more sun before the SGs headed off for their final vacation destination! It was a fun-filled weekend...We all had a blast! Now back to reality (for Jon at least)...

I just had to include this picture of Kylie helping me fold the laundry! I think she is so cute surrounded by all those clothes! :)
