Rocky Point - 2008

Where's the beach? Horton and Maddie are ready!


David Hasselhoff - eat your heart out!





How Maddie loves Rylan!






Digging to China?

The buds having fun...a gallon of sunscreen later.
































Yep...we practice water-boarding with the kids. New fangled discipline :)


My two favorite pics...
















Rylan is growing up to be such a pretty girl and is so wonderful with Maddie.




Sights & sounds of Rocky Point. Fun shopping...
Yummy dinner at Manny's.
Maddie LOVES cheese quesadillas, enchiladas, guacamole & pico de gallo.



Addition to the doll family - Lola.




Let's go fly a kite...




























Maddie croons about Ryan and Lenny and loves to be with them.
George & I are so grateful to them for their love of her.


Maddie referred to the beach as "Big Sandbox".




Maddie is just a great traveler. She's happy, goes with the flow and is just so much fun to be around. George, Ryan, Lenny, Rylan, Kael, Maddie and I drove the 4 1/2 hours to Rocky Point and stayed right on the beach in a condo. The water was a dot colder and rougher than last year...but for next year we're set and know when to go. We had fun on the beach digging sand castles and playing in the water, going into town for shopping, Thrifty Ice Cream, flying a kite, doing sparklers at night and the typical dinner at Manny's (yum - goat cheese). I don't know where she got it...but we built a sand monument Maddie told me was a dinosaur named "Emilio". I don't know who this Emilio is but at least she was authenic in Mexican Dinosaur naming. She's also on a kick lately - when she's given a direction she doesn't want to do she tells us "No...I am people". Already the advocate for human rights. All I can say is we're in so much trouble :) She as always had a blast with Rylan and Kael...whereever they were she was close by. They are so terrific with her as are Ryan and Lenny...we're so fortunate to have a family that has shown us support in parenthood...and who are strong and loving members of Maddie's life. We just couldn't ask for more.

Hi Kelly...love the blog. I'll be working on my for the kids. It's been busy recovering from surgery...the knee's doing better but no soccer any time soon. Lemme know about the book for Kailyn again...I managed to lost the name but it sounds right on the money. Tell the crew "hi" and let me know when your next training is...any chance you'll be taking your show on the road and coming back East??
Enjoy prog noting!

Kelly- it looks like you had a wonderful time. Maddie is just glowing! I loved the photos esp. your two favs and the one of Maddie in her sombrero! Zoey is a great traveler too although better in the air than land, for sure!

Looks like a great time at the beach. Miranda loves looking at all of the pictures. Maddie looks like a pro at building sand castles.
