{ happy birthday greg }

&

{ going home day }

our morning view of e & j playing

evan's souvenirs

jabin's souvenirs

greg took the boys swimming while i packed our stuff.

i went to a few different levels of the hotel to take their pictures.

a postcard for their friend

a last minuet photos in the pool area

we had tokens to use in the game room

7 mph, really!?!

time to go HOME!

i bought some LEGO mystery minifigures for a little fun on the way home.

evan got the swimmer girl. 

 jabin got the bride. 

hey, i didn't know, 

that's why they are a mystery minifig!!

darth paper & origami yoda

i bought the books for e & j to have something new to read on our trip so we thought we'd try to make them. 

from the airport we went home to drop off our stuff & get greg's car.

when we got home evan ran down stairs to see if any robbers came while we were gone. 

he came running back with a report...

mom, your washi tape is still there and so are our LEGOs! 

i'm so glad he knows what the important things in our home are.

picking up the babies! :) 

rhonda, maddy & olivia picked up a birthday cake for greg.

it was so good to see the babies.

rhonda didn't want to give them back.

i guess that's a good thing. :)

then we went back home.

{ home sweet home }

our trip was great.

e & j were at a perfect age to bring,

while g & r were at a good age to leave with our friends.

we didn't have to cook & clean.

i got to sleep through the night...

but overall we are homebodies.

i love being at home with my husband and boys.

maybe our next big vacation will be just greg & i 

{ wouldn't that be nice! }

or it could be the whole family or then again it could be in 8 years when we bring

 gavin & reagan to LEGOLAND. 

who knows.

i'm just happy to have us all 

{ together }

again!

andy :)

florida vacation { day 4 }

saturday june 9th 2012

{ do-whatever-day }

we didn't have plans for saturday.

we thought about seaworld. 

i had blisters on both feet so i wasn't too disappointed that the boys didn't want to go there and they didn't want to go to another disney park.

we just drove around with the top down...

so glad i bought a hat on the first day! not that i ever have a good hair day, but the florida weather was not helping me any either! 

oranges anyone?

this is bull riding, after this  picture evan went flying across the room. 

we visited downtown disney.

they had a LEGO store there so we spent some time in there.

after those pictures we read this:

sorry!

we didn't go on this, 

just took a picture of it..

then we went back to the hotel to swim & hang out.

little pool friends running all around

e & j said this was like paradise island

they swam and played some pool games. 

evan won some game room tokens from a water basketball game.

more rain while in the pool.

it rained the rest of the day so i was glad we didn't spend lots of money to go to another park for the day.

there was magic lessons for the kids at the hotel.

we went out to eat and i ordered { a } drink. 

and they brought me two. 

i guess i should know by now that with me things come two at a time. 

oh boys!

playing with new LEGO bricks.

at LEGOLAND they bought some pick-a-bricks 

and played with them whenever we were in our room. 

sleeping boys

a fun & relaxing day was had by all. :)
