Round Nineteen - Webb-Ainsworth

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - Hollie and Leah went on a mother-daughter shopping and lunch date. Hollie of course picked up a new boytoy while she was out. Callum was also enjoying the benefits of the open relationship, including one of his dates bringing a hot tub for him. Leah had been getting to know cute townie Matt, so she invited him out to the brewery where things heated up. Callum and Hollie had a kind of swingers party at the house, which Simon Park crashed. Everyone partied a little too hard! Matt proposed to Leah, and they moved out to a new house together at the end of the round.

Who's Who in the Zoo?

Founder Geneva Crosby married townie Daniel Ainsworth, and together they had one daughter, Hollie. She got together with Callum and in the midst of their rollercoaster relationship, they also had one daughter, Leah. Hollie and Leah may both have been only children, but there is a large extended family here - Hollie's first cousins are all the Crosby kids through Drew (Oliver, Connor, Melena and Louise) and so all of their kids are also some degree of cousin too (Luca, Paolo, Sloane, Felix and Ronin).

(I forgot to add Matt to the family tree for this round but I'll give myself a pass this time since they're freshly engaged!)





Now that they're officially empty nesters, Hollie and Callum craved a change of scenery. So, they sold their home in Brightmaple and moved out to the sunny island paradise of Coconut Cove!

They purchased this vacation home I built a while back to live in.

Logistically behind the scenes, the way I make this work is they have an unfurnished holding lot they "live" at back in the main hood. Going forward, every round will begin with them going to Coconut Cove for the whole five days. When they come back I'll adjust their ages accordingly since they don't age on vacation (which I do anyways for all regular vacations). So they can kinda sorta live there full time!

To make their inevitable appearances around the main town make sense, as well as potential visits from family and friends to them, in my mind Coconut Cove is just a short two hour flight from where they are. 



The first order of business was to get some more appropriate clothing for the climate.





Second order of business was to chat up some of the cute locals.





Settling in to their new lifestyle.





Back at their new home is just as relaxing with a nice bubble bath with a view.



Napping on the deck after a hard day of relaxing.





What a strange place to try to build a sandcastle Hollie. Really going for that naturalistic look?





Getting the barbecue fired up for some dinner al fresco.





Meatball is also really loving the new lifestyle, he spends a lot of time down on the beach watching the waves!







Waking up in paradise.







Hollie calls their daughter Leah to tell her all about the beautiful sunny weather here!





Today she went out to a local beach to see if they could meet any prospects. 





A little fruity cocktail and a little flirtation. I guess the grass skirt really does it for her!





Back home for another sunset dinner on the deck!





Safe to say they're loving it here so far!



The view from their property.



Taking some time to keep practiced on her keyboard.







Thanks to that short flight distance, Leah and Matt flew out to visit her parents at their new home!



Telling them stories about the local happenings.





They all went out to The Banana Grove for a nice dinner together.





I think there was some glitch and Leah didn't actually get her food, so she had to make a meal when she got back home.





Sleeping up in the loft and waking up to the sunshine!



Time for them to head back home!







Callum went a little too hard on the exercise bike in this heat!





Luckily he was able to rouse himself and get some water to cool off!



That evening they headed out to Coco Llama's Beach Bar for some karaoke and other fun!



Callum tried to impress a cute local and somehow, it worked!









They were there into the wee hours of the morning.







Once again Callum overdid it, but at least this time Hollie was around to help him out.



A little ocean swim! A more cooling athletic activity.





I guess Hollie thought she had a better handle on this activity, but it seems she did not. Callum to the rescue!

That's it for their round for now!

That exercise bike is brutal sometimes. 😩 Their new house is absolutely gorgeous; what an awesome place to retire to!
