Flordia Time!

About a month ago Justin and I went to Florida with some great friends (Callie and Grant).  We all had been talking about going to Florida for over a year and decided that the graduation of three of the four of us was a good enough excuse to go.  So, the last week of April, we packed up and went.  Such a good choice!  It was pure bliss.  Our week consisted of:

1.  Making awesome sandcastles.    



2.  Digging two gigantic holes in the sand.  I'm still not sure why the boys decided to do this.  It took them all day, and served absolutely no purpose.  Such a strange thing to spend time on. 



3.  Trying to find my husband in the ocean.  Seriously the most terrifying thing!  Justin and Grant thought it would be a good idea to swim about a million miles away from the beach and body surf in.  I could not see them the majority of the time.  It was kind of a nerve wracking thing.  I always thought I would be a "cool mom," you know the type of mom that lets her kids do adventurous things and have fun toys like dirt bikes and stuff, ya that won't be me.  My kids will have to live in a bubble or something.  If I get nervous when my husband, who is practically a grown man, body surfs, I will not be able to stand the anxiety that most activities cause parents.  Sorry kids!  



4.  Enjoying Universal Studios, mainly Harry Potter World.  Seriously, one of my most favorite places.  We all had so much fun riding rides, watching shows, drinking butter beer, and acting like children.  I am convinced that Universal Studios, not Disney World, is the happiest place on earth!  







5.  Playing speed scrabble and learning about the history of Melbourne Beach with our wonderful hosts, (Grant and Callie's grandparents) the Miskins.

6.  And last but not least, enjoying a wonderful, relaxing week with great friends!
