We're in Florida...

Yippie!! Yesterday we arrived in Florida. Marco Island to be exact. My parents have a timeshare that we have used since I was about 6 years old. So, we know most of the people and it is our "home away from home". My brothers and their kids and my parents are also here - so, it is a loud crazy group - 17 people.

Our flights went surprisingly well. Erin - who did not like take-offs and landings on our last trip was a real champ and did just great! She slept (and drooled) on my arm the entire 2nd leg of the trip. That's right, second leg. We had a layover in Atlanta. That actually made things pretty easy - 2 short flights and stretching legs in the middle.

Unfortunately, the airline broke our double stroller. One more reason to never ever gate check your good stroller! Thankfully, we don't use it much - but its days are severely numbered now. It is also unfortunate that Delta does not compensate for damaged items - unless they are packaged in their original box. What's the point in that??? Whatever.

A lesson learned... Don't buy give your child a brand new pair of shoes that light up on the day of travel. That will only make them want to kick the chair in front of them the entire flight - so they can see the lights! I am an idiot - and Ev loves her new shoes.

Erin & Evelyn just love it here! We've already gone swimming a bunch of times and they just hang on the steps and do their own thing. When they wake from their naps we're going to head to the beach. We'll start taking photos soon.

They love playing with their cousins! First thing this morning when they woke was a request to see their cousins. We told them they were still sleeping - so they wanted to wake up their cousins.

Their little knees are already all scuffed up with bumps and bruises from falling on all the stone out here. But, very few tears. Who has time to cry when there are so many fun things to do?

On our way to lunch Erin stubbed her toe. I told her I'd kiss it to make it better and she asked me to hold off and kiss it after lunch. God forbid my kiss interrupts her hot dog time.

Tonight we're going to a "party" at my brother Dan's "house". Should be fun!!
