And So On.....

The next day we set out....

...under bright, sunny skies and warm temperatures.  We had a good day this time, and were all content......

... to watch some TV and chill out for a while before turning in for the night.  And as anticipated, we arrived at our hotel (where we made reservations before we left last year) in good time for check-in.  We were there for six nights before re-locating to the villa.  We spent a lot of that time.....

..... visiting Poppa's cousin, Denis, at their villa, which is located about 20 minutes from "ours". They had lots of news as they had an accident on their way down and their van is in the repair shop down here - for an indefinite period of time.  Their insurance provided a rental van - which is fortunate.....

........because their son Andre was also there........

....... with his charming wife Ashley.  They were busy preparing supper for us while....

.... their daughter Kyla (who is seven now!), watched TV - or maybe had a nap - I'm not sure.....

.... and Matthew (who is four already!) joined her.  I think they were watching a movie about a little Disney princess called Sofia the First.  It was quite cute.  Meanwhile, as all that was going on......

... Liz (aka Gramma) was having a conversation with little Brendan.  If you have been reading you'll remember a picture of Brendan taken the day he came home from the hospital.  He is a ravenous little fellow and has already doubled his birth-weight - and as you can see, he loves Gramma and smiles for her when they chat.
