Florida

The kids and I had a great time in Florida. This was sort of a last minute trip for us, so it was a little crazy right before we left. We had a Valentine's Neighborhood kids club on Saturday and then left on Monday morning. Here is a picture from the club...



Anyway, it was hard leaving Seth for almost two weeks, but it was nice being with my family that I don't see very often for that long. The kids did pretty well on the airplane. Olivia slept most of the time and Landon watched a movie. He was almost asleep so I was putting away his DVD player and he woke up. Boy, was he cranky when I did that! He eventually settled down and we made it...





We spent most of our time at a condo in Fort Myers - it was so nice being able to all stay in the same place. We all had a part in putting this puzzle together. It was fun putting together a puzzle that was more than 24 pieces ;)



The weather while we were there was perfect - 80s most days and I don't think it ever rained! The beaches in Fort Myers were crowed, but they had the most pretty white sand. We visited Sanibel Island a couple of times. The shells there were beautiful and the beaches were really nice. We actually saw a dolphin only about 50 feet away from us at this beach! Landon loved playing in the sand more than anything. He loved making castles and then breaking them. He would get scared of the big waves. Olivia loved running her hands through the sand. Logan, her cousin, was so excited and loved the beach! It was so fun watching him, he would throw sand over his head and eat it and crawl everywhere - he had a blast. Poor boy though had to have stitches while were there! Clayton and Halle loved looking for shells, getting buried in the sand, and braving the big waves.







We found a fun train park that the kids (especially train lover Landon) really enjoyed. There was a miniature train that we all rode and a little water park. It was a lot of fun.











We rode back with my parents, so it was a very long trip for the kiddos. Nanny bought Olivia her first doll which helped - she loves it!



We had such a great time. Goodbye Florida!
