The henna tattoo that was Caroline's main request of the trip and then it was off to the airport to wait and wait for our delayed flight, but we didn't mind; what an excellent visit to Florida!

Third day feast of a meal

Cole and Julia made an incredible meal for us:  BBQd ribs, grilled sausages, homemade cole (haha) slaw, golden beets, roasted cauliflower, jalapeƱo poppers. This wasn't our only great meal; every breakfast, lunch, snack, and supper was just delicious.  We only ate out once.  
After supper was always music time with lots of singing and conversation.
