We took a break and went to visit Nonno and Nonna in Florida over the last few days. What a great idea! The weather was about 20 degrees warmer and it was nice to wear short sleeves and play outside in the sunshine. Atleast the first day. The girls played Bocci with their Dad and Nono on Bocci courts right by the ocean. The breeze was just perfect. K-Doodle had a special interest in the game and both girls played very well. While we were walking the beach, Dad found a huge coconut that had washed up on the beach. When we opened it, it was full of salt water and not coconut milk. Bummer. We also went to a flea market and visited family friends. These friends grew some of the largest lemons we have ever seen. What do you think? K-Doodle and C-Sunshine learned a new Italian card game called Scopa (Sweep). The cards are really cool looking and a lot of fun to play with. I found a picture of them and you can order from Amazon. I plan to order a deck for our family card closet now. It was nice seeing the girls learn a game from their grandfather that he use to play as a boy in Italy that they can show their own children. We need to make sure that we keep playing it and remember how!
