Spring Break Wrap Up!

 We were sad that the week was coming to an end but made the most of each day! By the end of the week Addi was loving the pool, which was so fun!  

Having some snacks by the pool

 On Thursday, my mom came! Ty and Addi were both excited for her to come as well, Ty was sad though when he realized Grandma wasn't riding home with us. We only had a day together but we were thankful for that time!

FOUR generations!

I loved spending time with my mom :)

The ride home was a little quieter after a busy week!

Spring Break Part 2: Let the Fun Continue!

It was another beautiful day, and we made sure to make the most of it!

 The kids got to spend some time yesterday visiting with Great-Grandma and Great Grandpa!

We also decided to try out the beach today. It was 85 degrees but SUPER windy.  We only ended up staying for about an hour and a half because the sand was whipping us like crazy!

Ty was super excited about the beach and Addi was excited about the idea of the beach but not so much once we got there

 Addi didn't like the feel of the sand and for the first good while she would just stand saying, "whooaaaa, whooaaa, whoaaa" over and over. haha. She would not touch the water. 

 Ty however LOVED the water.

Addi lasted in the sand about 1 minute and then was back to point at the sand on her hands saying, "whoaa.....whoaa...." Apparently we need to spend lots of time at cottage this summer to get her used to the beach. 

She sat here basically the whole time

I had to include this next shot because today was the first time we got Addi in the water with her not freaking out! Go Addi!

We decided to head downtown Stuart to have dinner and get icecream!

Yum!

Ty saw a train and was super excited :)

 Love these next shots!!

Especially this one! Can't believe what a big boy he is!

Spring Break Part I

We have been anxiously counting down the days until Spring Break!  We went to Florida last year, to stay with my Aunt and Uncle, and we were excited to make the trip again this year!  

We left Thursday immediately after school to make the trek down to Stuart, FL.  It wasn't as smooth as we were hoping, but we still made excellent time! There was NO traffic, it was awesome. However, Nate got sick on the way down, which kind of put a damper on the driving situation.  He made it driving until about 12:30am, then I took over until 5am so he could sleep.  I was proud of myself for making it that long! I made it thanks to lots of redbull, almost an entire bag of Ritz Chips (addicting!), and the fact that my back hurt so much there was no way I could get tired. Addi decided that 2am was a great time to wake up, and stayed up for the rest of the trip. I couldn't believe she didn't fall back asleep. What a stinker.  Between the two kids, neither of us slept more than 2 or 3 hours the entire night. We made it to Florida by 1pm, and we all immediately took a nap!

Happy Girl!

Watching a movie...

Finally the first couple days in SUN and warmth!

Ty immediately wanted to jump in the pool. 

First night we introduced Aunt Lisa (Seesa to Addi) to Frozen!

Addi got a "pwincess" from Aunt Lisa for the pool, she loves it!

Going on a walk!

We walked to the Locks and watched some boats go through. We even got to see a manatee that made its way into the locks.

Beyond the locks we got to go on a little "adventure"

When we got back from the walk/adventure it was immediately back in the pool

Ty LOVES the pool this year!! He is so into swimming, and swims as much as we'll let him!

Addi is a little hesitant about the pool but loves to sit on the edge and put her toes in :)

Lunch by the pool

We are ready for another 5 days in the sun!  My mom surprised us right before we left telling us that she was coming to visit as well, and would overlap by a day.  I'm not wishing the week away, but I am so excited to see her on Thursday and so are the kids!
