Vacation Update!!!

 A little catch up first... last week Sophia set up flowers in our room and played "church." This was after watching my parents renew their vows via my home-church's live-feed. Congrats to mom and dad!

 Bassinet for the new baby! :) There's a doll in there, of course. Sophia loves the new bassinet

 This is actually an old habit... Sophia colors and cuts up paper and tapes it to the wall and says it's her calendars!

 Hanging out in the airport on Wednesday, the 20th! Getting ready for the family vacay in FL!

 We headed to Tavares (central FL) first to stay with my Grandpa and Grandma "C." They took us to a wonderful commuity waterpark on Thursday!

 The grandparents!

 Dad and Travis chillin at the waterpark

 The waterpark was part of a huge park that included a wonderful wooden park... it will remind my VT peeps of "kidspace!"

 Sophia watching a train come into the station with her pop-pop

 We had a picnic in the gazebo down by the lake (still at the park)... mom didn't think this bird was real until it flew away from her!

 Grandpa and Grandma C!

 We love the Fl plant life...

 Pop-pop playing "rocket-ship" with Sophia, which she loves every bit as much as my brothers and I did!

 Granda "C" sewed Sophia an adorable "quillow" (a quilt that folds into a pillow) that she loves, and a little quilt and pillow for her doll!

 On Friday we left Grandpa's to go to Aunt Cheryl's in Orlando, and we stopped to hang out with Uncle Craig along the way.

 The boys took my cousin's Yamaha for a spin!

 The lake is an incredible swan breeding ground, and we found lots of mamas with their goslings!

 Sophia actually pet that gosling! Magical!

 Saturday morning daddy went for a run (he's been jogging every day!) and then brought us a friend he found

 A Saturday morning swim with her Pop-pop!

 I had to take a pic of the house across the street... it's a rather nice neighborhood!

 There is a beautiful pond behind my aunt's, and the path goes to a cool boardwalk through swampland

 Hanging out!

 Grandpa and Grandma C came over for snacks... they are staying in Siesta Key in their motorhome

 Uncle Sky squishes his niece!

 We went for a wild afternoon swim (for a couple HOURS!). Lots of water football and wave diving and craziness... there is a tropical depression/storm in the Gulf and the waves are insane right now! These photos are from Saturday evening, when we all went for a loooong walk to the end of the beach.
