For vacation this summer we went to Orlando, Florida! Dave (Eric's dad) has a Timeshare there so we were able to stay in his condo at Summer Bay Resorts and booooyyy was it nice! (Thanks Dave!) We each had our own room and each building had it's own pool. There was also a "mini" kiddie water park there and a lake where you could rent jet skies, and jump on water trampolines! We were there for about a week and had a blast. We had a lot of family for both sides there also so we were able to spend time with everyone which was really nice. Eric, Caiden and I left Saturday morning (Tyler was already in Florida spending a week with Mimi and Papa) and drove to Jacksonville, Florida. We got there around 11 AM and checked in our hotel and then headed to the beach!! Caiden got to ride his very first Ferry across the water! (I can't believe it cost $5 for such a short trip!) This was also Caiden's "first" trip to the beach (I say "first" because it's actually his 2nd.. he went when he was about 8 weeks old but didn't really do much..)

YAY SAND! "I just want to pick it up in my hand and throw it so it gets ALL in my hair!)

Our beautiful niece, Bella. It was so wonderful to get to spend some more time with her! I just we could see each other more often. It's crazy to think that just next year her and Caiden will be running around playing together! Good 'Ol Samu at Sea World! We sat in the splash zone and did NOT get wet! I was kinda bumbed because it was SO hot that day!
We ran into Chris Richardson from season 6 of American Idol!!!
A little family shot at Sea World. (Tyler is M.I.A.- he went back to the pool with Grandpa!) Just before this we were at the Anheusar Busch building doing a "Beer Tasting!" We had never been to one before and it was actually pretty cool and we learned a lot- Budweiser is an acronym meaning Because U Deserve What Every Individual Should Enjoy Regularly I promised Kay I'd take a picture with all 3 grandchildren- this was the best I could do! I didn't think it would be so difficult to get them all together at one time! LOL- it's still cute though. This picture was taken at Aquatica- Sea World's water park. We spent the WHOLE day there beginning at 8 AM! Tyler LOVED the water slides and the rapids. Eric said he went so many times around he got a headache!
For the 4th of July we took the boys to Downtown Disney and Celebration to watch Fireworks. We went in the gift shop and tried on just about every Mickey hat they had!



The resort had these really cool trampolines on the lake that we could go on too!
Bella and Tish have birthdays' close together so we had a little celebration while we were there! Happy Birthday you guys!! Also, Kay's birthday falls around the same time too, so Happy Birthday to YOU!!! Love you!
