Mini Vacation

Our branch president and his family left town for a week and they asked us to house-sit and watch their dog and get their house ready for church on Sunday. We gladly accepted!
Enjoying the beautiful view from the master bedroom balcony
We love the pretty boats that we sailing past each day

 Aubree taking a soak in the bathroom. The whole house is this pretty.

 Jumping off the dock (plus a picture of the beautiful home in the background)

 Aubree treasure hunting
Some of the treasures. The girls are pretty sure the key goes to a pirates treasure chest. We think the top middle one is a bovine tooth.

 A trip to Ender's Island with Sandy (the dog we were taking care of). There is a monastary on the island with some pretty gardens.



 The girls watched a LOT of tv - but hey, we're on vacation.
 But just because we're on vacation doesn't mean the girls don't fight. So I put them on this raft to go out to sea. :)
 Taking a nice little stroll through the neighborhood

 Kayaking - doesn't Aubree look cute?!

 Crabbing with a girl they met next door. They caught about 15 crabs.

We sure had a good time pretending we lived in this fancy house! We're heading back to our 113 year old home tonight.
