Florida

We were able to go to Florida for a week this past October with my parents, my niece and her friend. While we were there, we went to Disneyworld, Gatorland, walked around Downtown Disney,  St. Augustine, and the Beach. We also took full advantage of the many pools and hot tubs at the condo.

Tavin Loved the water

Daxton doesn't usually like water- but he had a blast in the pool!
At Downtown Disney
Inside the Lego Store at Downtown Disney. Here we learned how much Tavin loves legos. (We had to physically make him leave this store so we could make our dinner reservations at the yummy house of Blues)


Daxton and the gators..

Mike and Ariya waiting for the "wild things" Show to start. At this show I was asked to be a "participant" - which ended with me- along with about 5 other people- having to hold a really BIG snake!!

We spent an entire day at Disneyworld, which proved to be plenty of time for the boys. We went on rides, watched a show at the princess castle, picked out souvenirs, Mike found his hat (5 years ago when we came, mike had wanted a Indiana Jones hat and has kicked himself in the butt since then for not getting it- so now we proudly own a $65 Indian Jones hat ) Met Mickey and Minnie Mouse, watched the electrical parade, and just before we left we watched the firework show.

This was By far Tavin and Daxtons favorite ride

Meeting Mickey and Meeting

We spent a day visiting St. Augustine where we toured The Castillo San De Marcos. We love St. Augustine and how old everything is. After walking around the "castle" and then ll the old shops- we stopped by the Beach.

Just finished watching them light a cannon


Daxton fell into the ocean right as we got to the Beach- hence the semi naked photos of him.



Ariya loved the beach


 

Big Thank You to Grandma and Grandpa for a wonderful vacation!!
