Fun in the Florida Sun

Soooooo...........where do I begin? I was a big help to Mommy packing. I couldn't decide which train to bring. We got up very early, 3 am, to go to the airport to fly to Florida. I thought that was really great! I stayed awake the whole time until we got on the plane. I got to sit in my very own seat, in my car seat of course, instead of on Mommy and Daddy's laps. That was so neat. When we got to Houston we had a layover. We ate lunch and Daddy worked on his laptop while Mommy and I explored the terminal. I really liked the moving sidewalks. We rode them again and again and again and again. It was a 4 hour layover. I went back to sleep on the next flight and when I woke up we were almost to Ft. Myers. Grandma's friend Marsha picked us up at the airport. She had her Prius and we weren't sure we could get all our luggage and us into the car but somehow we made it all fit. We could have done a commercial! We then drove to the restaurant where Aunt Ya-Ya works and had dinner. Then we all went back to Grandma's house. I really like Grandma's house. I like playing on the stairs and playing with Aunt Ya-Ya. We got to spend the next two days playing around. Daddy mostly worked, but Mommy and Ya-Ya and I did some fun things.
We went to the Edison and Ford winter estates for their annual holiday house event. They light everything up beautifully and decorate for Christmas it is amazing!



We walked around and saw the houses, cars and even Edison's lab! So cool!







Grandma Toni and Grandpa Steve came in next and we had fun playing with them. Aunt Vanessa, Uncle John and cousins Seamus, Darby, Aidan and Bridey arrived the next night. I was so glad my cousins came to play.



We watched Veggie Tales and Thomas together and played in the pool.

I had so much fun.
























On Sunday we got to ride in Grandpa Steve's boat and took it to a restaurant to eat. Daddy even got to park the boat. We went to the playground to play one afternoon.














Uncle John made sure I had a good time.



For those of you who consistently follow my blog, you know I am always on the look out for the best lawn chair. I continued my quest while in Florida to no avail. This chair did not meet my standards!













My cousins celebrate Christmas so since we were there we did too! We got up very early in the morning but that was ok because I thought the gifts ended when Hanukkah did, but I got some really fun things.

















I got Wiggles slippers and Thomas trains and new pajamas! Too soon it was time to fly home. I had a great vacation!
