Go to the airport...

I kept telling the children that we were going to the airport to pick up Grammy. She is coming in from Florida. Sam was so excited he just loves planes. We moved here from Philly area when Sam was 3 years old. We only lived 25 minutes from the airport before. A couple of times a month I would pack a lunch and take the children near the airport where we would park off the side of the road and eat lunch and watch the planes take off and land. Well today is, as Sam would call it the BEST day of his life. I asked why today is the best day of your entire life and he said because we use to eat lunch and watch the planes flying and we are going to do that today. Well I was thinking more like go out to eat after we pick up Grammy from the airport...but I guess she can enjoy a PB&J sandwich too...as the kids are preparing the lunch as I type this.

We're Back

Well vacation is officially over as I was off and running today! (Thanks Bry for serving my family so I could accomplish all that I did.

Sam really did want daddy to wrestle an alligator but I talked him out of it. While James and I were on a date day, we found this alligator just waiting for a picture with James. ( I think somewhere on this post you'll see the photo) When Sam saw the picture he really believed his daddy got the alligator. Well I had to tell Sam the alligator was not real after I heard him tell Mr. Wenger that his daddy wrestled an alligator in Florida...Oh I was so embarrased.

The kids had a great time in Florida and just did an AWESOME job in the car. I was so proud of them. Rebekah's face was priceless as she noticed the Palm trees...she knew exactly where she was. Having the most experience at Mom Mom and Pop Pop's Florida house, she gave Emma the tour.

The weather was better than any of us had imagined and we took advantage of many outdoor activities.

Hope you enjoy the photos!
