LRD'S HEADQUATER SUMMER FUN MEETING: 06/19/07

We meet again. And today we all were able to make it, hurray, hurray!!!!!!!! We celebrated our fun together plus JENNY's birthday, which is on July 2nd. Happy Birthday Jen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had such a great time today. Janel ordered pizza today and she made a great friendship with the pizza driver. There is a picture of them on the blog. The kids played in the pool and had a blast, as usual. The pizza was delicious and the cake was awesome.

Ibis did a choo-choo train with the LRDs!!!!!!! Enjoy the pics!!! You know what to do!!
Next time, we have to continue our swimming lessons. We have kind of forgotten about that! I know we want separation time but too many accidents are happening and our LRDs need to learn how to survive in any situation at the pool.

Enjoy the pics!

Father's Day present!!!

Daniella's Memories

LRD's Have Personality

The Clubhouse

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!!! Loving Raindrops and Company Find New Clubhouse!!

Today the little Loving Raindrops and Company group met at the Amaretto Pool with the sole purpose of enjoying each other's company and having a fun time in the Florida sun. Little did they know that they were about to find their new headquarters for the summer months! The Amaretto Pool and Clubhouse is the perfect environment for upcoming meetings, reunions, or just simply for hanging out. The pool is large and exceptionally clean. The pool deck is very spacious with plenty of lounging areas, shade, and lots of room to run and play. The clubhouse area is equipped with fully functional restrooms, tables and chairs for luncheons, and at times a television set to catch up on the weather and news. The palms and coconut trees add to the lush landscaping that makes the area so appealing. The area is even fenced and gated for the safety of the little ones and for the peace of mind of their caretakers. What luck to have found this place!

The group, of course, gravitated towards the ultraclean pool immediately upon arrival. The water temperature was wonderful and the group had an awesome time swimming, splashing and enjoying each other. The luncheon, provided by the Medina Family, consisted of crunchy chips and salsa, 2 varieties of thin-crust pizza, oreo cookies for dessert, and plenty of diet coke and water. Following the luncheon, the typical South Florida weather took hold with a couple of huge rain clouds. However, the Loving Raindrops and Company, who happened to be in their own element, did not allow this to dampen the cheery mood. They swam and pranced around in the rain enjoying every minute of it for it is not often that one is able to enjoy warm rain without there being the accompanying thunder and lightning. "This is so much fun" and "this beats any summer camp" were just some of the comments heard from the group.

Of course, our group was incomplete today. The Jichas were unable to attend today's soiree due to family health reasons. We missed them ever so much and we wish their loved one a speedy recovery and hope for their quick return to our group next week.

Our session next week, which will take place on Tuesday at the new Clubhouse, will be hosted and served by the Campo Family. We await, with great excitement, the next great adventure and fun day! Till then, enjoy these captured memories by clicking on the Clubhouse picture. Tataa.........

Beach Day!! --06/10/07

BEACH BABES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok girls!! We had an awesome day today!!!! Que rica estaba esa agua. Jenny, we missed u sooo much!! and TJ also!! We took pictures, played, bothered each other, we had a blast. You have to come next time. I love this group because we always make it important to spend time with each other and that is very special to me. We do not only get together because of our kids but because we have become such good friends. I am really happy with this small circle of friends that I have found. Thank you all! I could not be happier. It was a nice day today... we spent the entire day at the beach and at the pool. We did swimming competitions and the guys did some aerobics in the pool. Tony snorkled. Ibis had a crab walking inside her bathing suit. Ohhh,, and can u believe this old dude walked by us and told Tony that he needed to drink agua con verengena para la gordura. We were like whatttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How rude was that!! Tony was minding his own business and then the old dude sat with Tony and started reading his hand and his future. Tony se ganó al viejo. Despues habia una vieja que Ibis la llama 'La Vieja del Comitè de No Hacer Nada' and she started minded our business telling us that our kids could not be in the jacuzzi. ay Dios mio!! too much for one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

ok,, Janel, I must say,, there are couple of pictures of Tonito & Jillie that you must see because they came out awesome. If you would like to print any, let me know so that I can send u the actual original file of the pic.

Ibis, Janel left by accident her surprise at your beach condo. Take it to her to our next reunion please. Don't say what it is because Jenny has not seen hers. jaja!

Ok,, so it's here at my house on Friday! Is it ok with u guys if we do pool morning that day?? and I was planning on ordering pizza or if i come up with something else, we will eat there anyway. There are tables and everything we need to be comfortable. Let me know what u guys decide. We all have to go in the pool. ohhh,, When I got home today, I got my period. Good timing... right before my vacation so I do not have to be worrying about that during my trip.

What are the plans for Tuesday or TH??? What day do u guys prefer? I think movies was a good idea but I am afraid of the behavior of these little ones at the movies. So I do not know,, any thoughts!!!!

Ohhh,, I know,, this is the longest blog ever,,, but I was thinking,,, we gotta make plans this summer for a get away to Sanibel. Who is interested? I better hear everyone say they are. jaja! I was thinking we can rent 2 small cottages and we can divide the price. Two families in each cottage. What do u guys think?? Check out the link here and let's think about a date. Look at the prices here in the below link. Sanibel is a little island passed Ft. Myers and very close to Naples (to those of u who have not been there). That should be fun. We can rent bikes or take our own bikes and ride around the island. The island is completely flat and there are bikes everywhere. There are many other things to do. ok guys!! Enjoy the pics!! We used to go every year. We have not gone this year so it should be fun going altogether. We have always stayed at these cottages. They are super spacious with 2 large bedrooms/baths and an spacious kitchen and living room. They are like large apartments. Two families can stay in each cottage. It would be the Jicha's and the Campo's because we have to balance the occupancy since the Campo's are 4 and the Jicha's are 3. And The Medina's and the Maimo's in another cottage, since the Medina's are 4 and the Maimo's r 3, or viceversa...... any way it would be awesome. Get me??? There are sofa beds in the living room so that kids can sleep there too. You guys,,, I really would like to do this. How is the week of 07/24/07 for everyone?? from a Wed. to Sat.?? or something like that!!
