One year ago

 One year ago this month we took an amazing vacation to Florida.  With about a month to go we added on a couple of days so we could go to the beach.  We really love the beach and since the kids had no idea the vacation was even going to happen it was extra exciting.  That is right, I planned an entire vacation to Florida including Disney World that my kids knew nothing about until we were parking at the airport!  It brigs a smile to my face just thinking about that.

The plan was to spend two days at the beach then head to Disney.  We were going to take the kids deep sea fishing and spend some time in the ocean.  As soon as we got there the kids ran for the sand.  Sadly we did not get to go deep sea fishing because of a small craft advisory that meant the fishing boat could not go out.  We were all pretty bummed but in the end it was fine since we got to spend more time in the ocean.

Poor Luke could never figure out how to burry his feet in the sand. 

Addi Jo tried so hard to get her clothes wet but she could never commit to just doing it. 

 Can you tell which one is more laid back and which one has the burning adventurous spirit?

 No way Luke was gonna get his clothes wet, even if it meant he had to stand in the water like an old lady

 The waves don't look to bad here but those things were fierce!  The ocean stole my sunglasses within the first hour as I tried to hold Addi up out of the water that was knocking us over.

After our initial visit to the ocean we decided to take a short nap and head out for some seafood.  I woke up three hours later and this is what I found.  It really was not fair because those hotel beds were amazing!  The mattress was perfect, the pillows so soft and the covers like they just came out of the dryer.  Maybe a piece of it had to do with leaving the house at 4am?

That is correct, Addi Jo was awake but buried under those soft covers, she was quiet so who am I to encourage the beast to get up.  I really don't know if she ever sleeps because I think she is awake every night I go to sleep.
