Prepare yourself for picture overload!!! We went down to Florida for spring break with some wonderful friends. Surprisingly enough the kids did great on the 10+ hour drive there and back (thank goodness for minivans!). We had so much fun. I can't believe it's over and we're back to normal life now. Here are just a handful of the many pictures we took:
Will on the beach for the first time.
Lydia so excited at the beach.
Josh pointing out some pelicans at the beach. Lydia named them "Nigel."
Will spent most of the trip here in his car seat to stay out of the sun. He didn't seem to mind.
It was a bit cold for swimming, notice Lydia's blue lips. She didn't seem to mind.
All dressed to swim, but too, too cold for a baby!
We tried to go down to the beach during low-tide so we could find some creatures, but we never seemed to plan it quite right. Lydia didn't care, she just loved the sand.
The Disney Drama:
Jessica & I made these little mickey tees for the kids to wear to Disney world. Will decided that he didn't like his, so he blew out of his diaper on the way to Disney world so he wouldn't have to wear it.
Needless to say I was pretty bugged. It threw off our morning. In the process of changing his entire outfit I misplaced our free tickets. We thought we were going to have to pay to get in. Our wonderful friends took the kids while we ran back to find the tickets. In the process they found them for us in the diaper bag that I had searched 5 or 6 times. Once we finally got to the park things went a little smoother.
Lydia and her 1st visit badge. I think we learned a lot from our 1st visit with kids. It takes a long time to maneuver the stroller through crowds and get the kids in and out of the stroller to get on the rides. We are so lucky to have wonderful patient friends who stuck with us and helped us out with all our stuff and kids.
Me, Lydia, Jessica, Danielle, Nichole
Lydia's first ride. She had been talking about riding magic carpets for weeks before. Apparently they were way overrated because she didn't want to do that one again. The ups and downs were a little much for her.
Will was such a trooper. He just hung out in the carrier or in the stroller and he loved all the rides.
Apparently meeting Woody and Jessie was way overrated too. She didn't really want anything to do with them when we got close. Maybe next year??
Nichole was Lydia's buddy on the intense rides. Thanks, Nichole (and Baby Lucy!)
Watching the parade-this was her favorite part of the day. She LOVED it!
SOOO happy to be in front of Cindrella's castle!
We are a happy family!
Happily Ever After! We all slept very well that night!
Erik, Brian, Beck, Dane, Josh
Emily, Jessica, Danielle, Nichole, and Lydia of course.
This was at an old fort in St. Augustine.
Fort Matanzas
Friday was finally warm enough to do some real beach stuff. We went to Flagler beach and had a blast!
The guys had fund doing "Spring Break Games 2010" on the skim board and with the Frisbee.
Fun in the Sun!
We had dinner after at Finn's, right on the beach. We ate on this balcony and watched the pelicans fly over the waves. It was awesome!
