They even had my banana mudslides. The first night we were too tired to go out so we watched a good show called Just Add Magic. 
This was the view that we woke up to every morning and mom said that this was the view she wanted to wake up to every day for the rest of her life. I'm not sure that would be possible even if she used my college fund for that!!
When it was raining outside we went in and played in the indoor swimming pool and had a lot of fun. The breakfast was also really good and they had carrot bread which was really good.
We also went down to the beach and fed the minnows coconut cookies, at first they were really afraid of me and wouldn't even come close but after a while one or two came by and once they realized that I had food and that I wasn't going to hurt them, they went and told the other and next thing we knew they all started swimming all around me.
This was Nan right after she had gotten back from having her massage and pedicure for Mother's Day. Doesn't she look relaxed?
We are definitely coming back in the summer and we are going to get a bigger room so more people can come with us. Before we left they let us see the rooms and they were really nice.
A few weeks ago, we finally got to go inside mom's old boss Paul's castle!!! Nan and I have been there and have seen the outside a bunch of times and Mom has gone inside a few times for work events, but Nan and I have been wanting to see the inside for SOOOO long. Here's what it looked like when we drive up the driveway through the first set of gates...
Then through the second set of gates...where the castle really comes into view
We had a chance to meet Paul's daughter, Ruth and his grandchildren and I played with them. There was Lou, Elle, Mil and Susan. They live in the guest house of the castle and it's still hard to imagine that they call that "home". When we went inside, I played a song for Lou and his brother on the piano. The inside of the castle was AMAZING!!!!
Last weekend, Mom took me and 3 of my friends to an indoor waterpark in Brussels. We had so much fun because the weather was actually nice enough that we could use the outside part too. Here
we are in the outside whirlpool part...these are my friends, Nikhil, Kevin and Aticus.
This is the indoor part and
and here you can see part of the outdoor part and me flying out of one of the tubes
And here are my crazy friends from laser tag a few weeks ago... do you think I was either the last one to go up or the first one to come down?
and a picture of my 5th grade class.
