Spring Break Pictures

We pull the kids from their deep slumber at 5 a.m. for a day of traveling and begin our trip by breaking the seat belt laws!



Stopping for peaches in Georgia...we had to settle for homemade peach ice cream since the peaches weren't ripe yet.






We finally make it to the beach and make goofy faces with Brooke and Audra!




The kids first trip to Magic Kingdom was magical! They crashed in their strollers on the way out of the park at 11 p.m.





Mid-week we took a pontoon boat tour and learned all about the local wildlife. Addy loved the on-boat "show and tell" session which included horseshoe crab shells, hermit crabs, huge snails in conch shells, sharks teeth, and examples of local vegetation. Keith wasn't too thrilled with it, but they let him drive the boat, which was exciting for him!






The rest of the vacation was spent at our condo...mostly on the balcony, in the pool or on the beach!!






Near the end of our vacation Addison proved to us, yet again, that she is growing up way too fast. She read her first book all by herself, needing help with only some very tough words. We have since heard the story EVERY night at bedtime since she is so excited to read it. Of course, it is about cats!!!



Until next blog,
Jen

What a fun trip...despite the long hours driving. You have great scrapbooking material here. Especially that squishy face photo! ;)

I was shocked to find that she reads "Grey's Anatomy of Felines" as a bedtime story!
