flashback: florida

ok...

so probably my last

"billions of pictures blog"

for awhile :)

{at least I HOPE}

but i never posted pictures of

our oh so fun trip to Florida.

my parents have a condo in 

florida

and we have not been to see it yet...

well, jesse is turning 2 in dec. so because we are 

cheap people

we wanted to go before he

turned to 2.

so yes we had 2 lap children on 

a five hour flight times two!

anyways, it ended up working out ok

and when we got to 

florida...it was so much fun!

we want to go back...oh for vacation time to multiple exponentially. Huh?

thanks to my parent for coming along too

{although they had to per the condo rules....}

it did actually feel like a vacation too

because they helped out with the kids!

ok here are some pictures of the trip.

[ok. i lied.]

here are

lots of pictures from the trip.

(and sorry they are so far from

chronological order...i have

no idea what the computer

did...)

 ^ i thought this picture was cool cause you could see the plane through the window.

 ^the babies finally went to sleep on our all nighter to get there.

 ^in the morning with dad looking out at florida.

 ^yep...we made but can you tell....exhausted! and look at all our STUFF.....

 and if you know my dad you can imagine how happy he was.....

 ^ yes, they caught a crab.

 ^haha, well actually, first mark waited patiently for him to climb out if his burrow hole and

proceeded to give him a mild concussion, the tool of choice being a kids shovel, and then catch him once he was delirious and most likely profusely hemorrhaging  in his brain....do crabs have blood?

 ^ahhhh, yes....we are so proud.

 ^of course at this point i was very convinced that jesse was going to get pinched because even though mark's brain blow to the crab eventually killed him...he did not die right away!

 ^the girls and the babies in the water.

 ^ahhhh yes...pretty sure jesse with kill me for this one later on but oh so classic...as we had a code brown on the beach.

 cool kids in the the house.

 ^wow...you got to love the taste of sand....

 ^elleanne did a lot of hanging out in the tent.

 ^hahaha...looks like he is about to pummel mark in the back!

 at the lagun.

 ^mark created the New Jerusalem!

 ^mark and matthew booggy boarding.

^just chilling on the beach.

 ^we are headed home....oh you ask were are the boys....ie my dad and mark....yes that is a very good question.

well they are up in first class...my mom and i have the kids in coach.hmmmmm....

 sitting with grandma on the plane.

 elleanne sleeping on the plane.

so i have to say one more thing.

jesse is a huge beach bum now.

he loves the water and is still

saying "up and down". he constantly wanted to be out in the ocean

BY HIMSELF...dont touch him.

{with swimmies on of course}

and he would ride the waves...hahaha

it was so fun!
