Florida Fun!!!

This post is LONG overdue. Alex and I went to Florida from 4/15-4/21 to visit Taya and Rhese. We had such a blast!

Day 1: Alex was the best little boy on that plane. We sat all the way in the back with the other Mommies and kids. There was a 10 wk old baby on the plane with us. She was just as good as little man, slept and ate! He drank a bottle as we were taking off and I didn't see his eyes open again until I woke him up to give him a bottle for our decent. He was smiling from ear to ear, absolutely amazing how happy he is! We are very lucky. Here is my little traveler in the airport before we boarded....

After Taya picked us up from the airport, we went to see her Mom at work, then went to Taya's house so the babies could eat lunch and nap. When they woke up it was playtime! Poor Alex was in the exersaucer since little Miss Rhese is a crawling maniac and pretty much used him as her step ladder! :)


Hey....you're little like me...

Day 2: Poor babies must've had so much excitement Wednesday that they were so sleepy and cranky on Thursday. They both napped in opposite schedules which made it impossible for us to do anything. We pretty much hung around the house; that night we met Nicole, her mom and her sister at a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Alex of course, was asleep in the restaurant at 7 on the dot (his bedtime every night). This is what we found when we opened the doors to the car when we got home:

Day 3: What a beautiful day it was. The weather was fantastic. in the 80's with a nice breeze. We decided to take the babies to the zoo. Alex, fell asleep. (Big surprise) Party girl Rhese loved every minute of it. I think Alex really didn't care for the animals so much as being pushed in the stroller!
Can you see the GINORMOUS iguana behind him?

The two love birds!

Day4: We had a BBQ at Taya's Mom's house. A few friend of ours came over. It was a blast to see Alex in the pool. He definitely loved it. It was a little hard for him though as he wasn't sitting up too great at the time (now he sits really good). But, I definitely see us getting a baby pool this summer!

Day5: Taya's Mom had decided to cook us a most delicious dinner on Sunday of Roast Beef with all the fixings. So Taya and I decided to just hang by the pool with the babies that day again. This time, they went into the big pool. Alex wasn't too sure at first, but they he started to love it. The LaCasse family was as welcoming as they always are. They loved my little guy like he was one of their own. Taya's Mom has always been like that with me growing up.

Day 6: We really didn't do too much this day but go to lunch and babies r us. That night we met Nicole at Panama Hatties (my favorite place to go when I'm down there) for dinner. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the view of the intracoastal and the boats passing by. We had a great time!!

Day 7: We left. Plane ride home was o.k. My poor lil man was teething really bad. Luckily the stewardess let me in the back to walk around with him and bounce him back to happiness! The little 10 wk baby girl was on our plane ride home too!All in all we had a great trip. We are hoping that Taya and Rhese will come up here this summer so we can take them to the shore!!
