It was inside due to the weather.<br \/>&#8211; Paul and I remembered enough swing moves to be dangerous on the floor.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rivercityband.com\/\">band<\/a> was great!<br \/>&#8211; We actually enjoyed ourselves due to the great help we got from my Uncle Bill and Aunt Sherry (my Dad&#8217;s brother), Aunt Deb and Uncle Gary (my Dad&#8217;s cousin), Aunt Fran and Uncle Gus (my Mom&#8217;s uncle), my parents, and lots of family friends who all were ready and willing to help out with photographs, keeping Will occupied, and generally watching out for him! Even Skip and Emily&#8217;s friends and family had moments of picking Will up and playing or dancing with him! This was really helpful and made the night super for us.<\/p>\n<p>Monday<br \/>&#8211; Paul left in the afternoon<br \/>&#8211; We had a great afternoon of patchy sun at the pool, worked on puzzles, and read<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday<br \/>&#8211; Will and I took a long walk through the neighborhood and bonded with the many yard care personel at work in the neighborhood<br \/>&#8211; More pool time!<br \/>&#8211; Skip and Emily came over for present opening, games, and dinner<br \/>&#8211; We played &#8220;girls versus guys&#8221; Pictionary and kicked some serious guy-butt (much to my father&#8217;s dismay!) and laughed a lot!<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday<br \/>&#8211; Morning at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sawgrasscountryclub.com\/beachclub.html\">beach<\/a>!
