Trip to Florida

After the snow filled wonderland, we packed up and migrated to sunny Florida. Except it wasn't so sunny and warm when we arrived. I specifically packed separate Florida and Michigan suitcases due to the warm weather/cold weather thing. That didn't work out so well as we had to go to Target to buy warm clothes because it was cold!!

The kids really wanted to swim but we found other activities. One of the best was going to see Enchanted. Elizabeth, Kath, and Grammy really enjoyed that. Alex and Kirk were going to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks but Alex fell asleep in the car on the way.

The other fun activity was to go to a park in Estero where they had a playground for kids and a separate one for dogs so Sophie could join us. The kids had so much fun the first day there that we packed a picnic and went back the next day too.

By the next day, it was sunny enough to go swim at the community pool and the kids had a ball doing that. Both of them were fishes who did not want to get out. Alex is getting even more comfortable in the water which makes us have to be more careful.

We were able to visit with Aunt Gretchen one night. Kirk and I were able to get out together by ourselves a couple times and that was nice. Except every trip out included a stop at whichever Best Buy we were closest to to try to find Guitar Hero for our Wii. No luck :(

And of course no trip to Florida would be complete without a stop at Naples Beach followed by Cheeburger Cheeburger. Yummy! And yes, Alex still eats sand.

This was a fun and relaxing trip and next was our flight home.
