Florida Trip

We got back from our trip to Florida a little over a week ago.  We all had a terrific time and did not want to come back to the cold Ohio weather! The whole time we were in Florida it was between 75-80 degrees...gorgeous!

We spent the majority of our time at the house we rented.  It had a heated pool that all of the kids loved and they would have stayed in it all day if we let them.  Veronica and Presley are doing much better in the water and even swam in the deep end (with Mommy right beside them) without any floaties or anything. This was Gabrielle's first time swimming and she seemed to really enjoy it as well! She even didn't mind it when one of the other girls accidentally splashed water in her face...or when she splashed water in her own face!

One of the days was spent going to Disney's Magic Kingdom.  We spent the whole day there, which we were kind of nervous about, because we thought Gabrielle would get tired of it! The kids all did really well.  At the beginning of the day, Veronica wasn't feeling well and I was afraid she wasn't going to get to spend the day with us.  After going with Grandma Jan to get some medicine and eat a little lunch she felt better and was able to join us.  We stayed to watch the Light Parade and the fireworks at the end of the day and they loved it all! Even Gabrielle loved the fireworks and stared at them in awe!

Brook's niece, Morgan was singing at Downtown Disney one of the days we were down there, so we went down there as well.  The girls got to pick out some souvenirs and enjoyed watching Morgan sing.  It was a little chilly that day and kind of rainy, so they were ready to go, but we had a good time there as well.

Overall, it was a great trip! The ride wasn't even as bad as I had anticipated...not that I want to do it again anytime soon though! I will leave you with a few pictures from our trip.
