Putting on the Ritz!

For Gigi's 85th Birthday the whole family decided to get together and have a huge party. Nicole and Scott have a time share with the ritz and so they worked their magic and reserved us some houses at the Ritz Club in Jupiter Florida. All I can say is WOW! It was beautiful. Here are some picutures of our stay.

The house the Crum and the Bevers stayed in. (4 bedroom, 4.5 bath)

It even had a garage!

 When we got there, Uncle Scott, Pops, Liam and I had lunch out by the pool. It was Steamy! Liam's cheeks were a bit red, but he was happy to be there too.

 Inside the Ritz complex, Liam tested out the rental car.

Each house has a dipping pool, You could turn the heat on or off so it could be a jacuzzi or a little pool.

Liam and I had just walked to the pool house and were caught in a down pour. Lucky for us we were in our swimsuits. I felt bad that he didn't get to swim though so when the Bevers arrived James, Pops, Liam and I got in the dipping pool. It was heated though so the boys cheeks were red. We didn't stay in very long with the heated pool in the day time.

Liam and Gary had a snack at the huge table

 

Fancy kitchen with granite countertops

When the Giese kids and Aunt Nicole got there  the rain had cleared up. We went outside to wait for the other cousins. Gary had a car and layed down in the sidewalk to play. I thought it was funny.

While we waited we took the kids to the park they have on the grounds

The Birthday boy, James! The first night everyone (except Will) was there we had a Pirate birthday party for James. He turned 5!

All the kids got eye patches for James' party, I was trying to get Liam to say RRRRR!

Scary

The store didn't have a pirate cake but I thought Stacey made it work with some pirate candles

Not a lighter to be found, good thing there is a grill. The men are so resourceful.

It worked

Gifts!!

The next day we headed out to the pool while we waited for Will to get in .

Will and Ella are so good with Liam! Will took Liam for a spin around the pool.

After an exhausting day, Liam enjoyed the turn down service by watching a little TV.

Not really I just thought this picture would be funny. They did have a turn down service though. They turned down the beds and put chocolates on them, replenished the towels, put our the floor mats in front of the bath and shower and opened the tv armoir and placed the remote on the bed. Ah, I could get used to this!

Daddy snuggled up next to Liam.

On our last night Ella got in the dipping pool with Liam. Only Liam was in his clothes so he ended up in just his diaper. They had a blast though.

This should be a commercial for Pampers.

Shortly after Liam's night swim we had to say good night.

Liam sure enjoyed putting on the Ritz, and I know I did!
