Vacation

While we stayed with Grandma and Pap in Naples, the girls slept in their room. There wasn't any floor space in our room for them, so they camped out here.

Jude just outside our "house". This was right after he stole $1000 worth of golf balls. Yes you heard me right, he stole that many golf balls. (he didn't get to keep them though) Long story short, we went out for the evening (while Jim and Jill kept the kids) and after dinner we went to a golf superstore. We were asked while we were there to help them with their loss prevention. I was asked to "distract" the two young male cashiers and Jude was asked to walk out the store with a shopping cart full of golf balls. For our services, we were offered a gift card for the store. So we pulled it off, got our gift card and Jude was able to purchase what we originally went into the store to price. :) And we told the manager that he couldn't have picked a better pair...the minister and his wife. (to hear the full story...be sure to ask me...it was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our vacation) Oh and it has already made it into numerous sermons. lol

The girls anxiously waiting for Pap to crack into the coconut. (see another post for pics of that)

Mary just insisted on having her hair pulled up like mine after her shower. The towel was a tad big for her and weighed down her head, but it lasted long enough to snap the pic...all was good!

Fairwell Naples

This was right before leaving Naples to head home. We took this just outside of where we stayed.

A pretty flower I walked past every day to get in and out of our room.

Grandma and Pap seeing us off. We had a great week staying with them at their place in Naples and enjoying the sunshine with them. Thanks for everything Grandma and Pap!!!

Worlds BEST travellers

I would put my kids up against pretty much anyone as being the best travellers. They are fantastic!!

Now don't get me wrong...they aren't perfect...but we can't complain. We have portable DVD players for them to watch some, we have toys and most importantly, we have snacks.

On this particular trip, on the way home...we hit some major storms on our way out of Florida. We had to sit in traffic for what seemed like forever...only to come upon this flooded roadway. The cars were all having to come into the middle because both sides were so flooded. This pic doesn't show very well how deep the water was.

So, after all that...we were more than happy to get out of Florida and into Georgia.

I LOVE this pic

Had to go all the way to Florida to see a snow man. (this was before the massive amounts of snow that we have been getting)

Beautiful Bee

Beautiful Boo

Havin' a good time

Mary was THRILLED to get to see her light show on the water.

Sarah was too tired to see the show

Wait!!!!

Daddy to the rescue...the first night we were at Disney we started the afternoon with just sweaters on, but as night fell, it got quite chilly. SO daddy went back to the car to get our winter coats.

The Teacups

Sarah and I went on Its a Small World and were the ONLY ones on our boat...it was so cool, and Sarah thought she was HOT stuff on her favorite ride.
