We had a lazy morning…no pictures of that.

Then, we decided to hit the beach. We only lasted an hour or so, it was just too hot. I realized that I’m more of a late afternoon beach person.

Only Lainey would do this!

We then made the drive to Jax to attend Marley and Payton’s Power Up Clubs. First one was at 5pm.

The clouds looked BAD, but they held off until 5 minutes before the club was over.

Marley helped her little brother with some of the games.

Last year this time at the clubs, Lainey refused to participate in any of the club activities. She was just too shy. I’m so happy to see her jumping right in this year!

Dylan makes friends quickly.

Payton’s club began at 6:45.

Payton walks up for his part in the skit. He’s the guy who thinks if he drinks gallons of milk and eats tons of cereal that he’ll become a big, strong Superhero. He learns that God cares about what’s inside us, and not what’s on the outside.

It’s blurry, but I had to show Lainey playing in a relay race with hopping balls!

Drip, drip, drop. (Think duck, duck, goose – only with water) I love Payton’s face as the water falls, and Lainey’s face watching! Lainey never did get dropped on, so her sweet brother got her good with a full cup of water later. She squealed.

Payton is also his club’s “Surginator” – the guy who gets the kids psyched about Friday’s Power Surge event at the church. Food, rides, prizes, fun!

He gets into his role. Apparently, Dylan felt he needed some rain protection!

Tomorrow, we drive to Orlando to visit again with Dylan’s friend Hope and her family!! We’ll visit more clubs tomorrow night, too. So far this vacation is a ton of fun, but not terribly relaxing!
