Early, early on Sunday, June 3rd, we set out for Florida from Dayton, Ohio. Cody dropped us off and then headed back to Cousin Robin's to go back to sleep. Traveling with the kids and me was, Robin's daughter, Ali. We were so excited to have her traveling with us and I could not have imagined going on this trip without her. I never want to travel without a 13 yr old girl again! Or just never travel without Ali again!
After two flights and a layover in Baltimore, we made it to Orlando. Nathan came with Gramma to the airport to pick us up. Very nice surprise. Morgan looked so cute trying to walk next to Nathan dragging a suitcase like him. They are all growing up too fast!
A main theme of this trip was catching kids watching the iPad or on Ali's ipod touch. These kids are so high tech savvy.
The first day Morgan wore this new floatie but after that he went without it. Turns out he can swim!
Here's a video I took later after we figured out Morgan could swim:
Pretty, pretty Mikayla.
Pepper sporting her awesome, princess floatie.
Little Miss Kate.
Morgan and Ben cracking each other up. I"m so glad these guys have each other amidst the sea of little girls.
Auntie Jill hanging out with Kate and Hazel. Hazel making her super, fantastic squishy face. If you point a camera at Hazel she's actually pretty good about smiling or at least making this face. Either way, super cute.
Hazel's first water/pool experience. Here's a video of her reaction:
We all celebrated Alice's birthday a little early because on Monday, Uncle Larry and Pat came down for a few days and we were all together. Auntie Jill was nice enough to let the little ones help her decorate Alice's cake.
My mom, Pat, Jill and I stayed behind with the babies while everyone else went to the beach. We had a very enjoyable time playing Scrabble and catching up.
Alice couldn't wait till later to open her present so Jill let her open one early.
Such adorable sisters, Alice and Jane.
Hazel enjoying some snuggle time with Pat.
Uncle Larry checking out the ipad. Pat giving Hazel love.
The two curly sues checking out the cake masterpiece.
Here's a video of everyone singing to Alice and Jane singing her "To Gramma's house we go" song:
I love how truly happy Alice looks to get her new gift.
We are a happy little family who live in the Akron, OH area. Cody works for the fabulous Smucker's Company. Our favorite little man Morgan is five and loving life. Our little lady Pepper is almost three and a bundle of girly joy! We welcomed, Hazel to our family and couldn't be more in love with her.
