FUN IN THE SUN!

Well our vacation to the Sunshine State has came to an end and we are now back at home (trying to adjust back to reality). The trip was incredible! The kids were able to do lots of 1st and I have plenty of pictures to prove it (like 700 I think... I'm trying to weed these down). Both grandma's had a good time too and I'm sure were thankful for the time away from life. Now however that we are back to reality and I have downloaded lots of fun pictures I would love to share a little sneak peek with you here. WARNING... this could get lengthy- bare with me though!
Ok... We started out trip out Friday May 23rd at approx. 6pm and drove all night straight through. Needless to say by the time we reached Florida we were all extremely tired..



Once getting to Florida we stopped at Fort Island Beach. It was not pretty by any means but it satisfied the kids need to see the Ocean. It also gave us a place to take a break and waste a little time before check in

Ok so now we head on to our fabulous room for the week- BAHAMA BAY RESORT. It was just what we needed. We had plenty of space for all 7 of us, the patios were screened so we wouldn't get eaten up by mosquitos, and there were pools in numerous places on site. The kids thought it was heaven. I thought they hired some very good landscapers... check it out for yourself.



We spent the remainder of Sat. relaxing and hanging out at the resort. Then on Sunday we decided to check out Downtown Disney. We were there for a few hours before the rain came in and we found ourselves making a mash dash to the van. I got tickled at my mom and Mother-in-law as we ran 4ever back to the parking lot. They held up well.

Monday we decided to go to Cocoa Beach. It was a bit of a drive, but we really wanted the kids to get the full experience of the busy beach scene. We swam, rode the waves on boogie boards, played in the sand, and all got sunburned. The kids got the worst of all... I felt like an awful parent when the next day they all ended up with water blisters. It was terrible... and they were in such agony. But we made it through and now all we have left is the great memories of the day at the beach.




Hang tight... I'm not quite done. Wait maybe I'll do another post later with the rest of our trip. That will be even better. So until then hope you enjoy the pics and I won't keep you in suspense to long!
