Some would say I am a picture freak!
Call me what you will.... I just try and capture these moments bc I sure know that since having babies my brain is on overload and I can barely remember survival techniques at times!
So here goes nothing!.....
These first pics are at a gas station stop on the way down.
The kids thought this rock was cool, it was like a 1130 at this point!
(hence the cool rock wall!)
We stopped to put on jammies and the kiddos went to sleep soon after and then it was up to Andre and I.
Needless to say... we did it. We drove through the night and made it to Orlando about 8am the next morning... the kids did way better then I ever expected...
This is us stretching out!
Next on the agenda... swimming!
We swam for a couple of hours then on to nap!
Ella and pappy
Daddy spinning Ella....
Gabe soaking it all up!
After nap we woke up a swam some more with our sweetie cousins... braylee and brynna
Off to the playground...
Evening arrived and we enjoyed a meal in the condo and relaxing!
Seems like yesterday that Braylee was born...
now there are four and two on the way!
God is good!
The next day we decided the beach was our destination (hour and twenty mins away).
So when we got there I tried to capture a few pics of Gabe and Ella...
Well I would not consider it a success but it is what it is!
On to relaxing in the sun and sand!
Ella decided she wanted a nap. And of course on the beach there was no shade to be found so daddy saved the day and bought us an umbrella... (yes we already had one at home, no I did not think about bringing it, yes we now have two... i will say it was worth the money)
Braylee and Gabe... not sure what they are doing!
My little man, who will be four in a week and three days! eeek
The sand car that daddy and uncle Alex built.
Princess pea awoke from her nap.
Our family... yes I am pregnant.
No, that is not a maternity swimsuit...
Yes, I found one the next day!
Gramma and Ella taking a ride.
stinker
I love this picture... this is what its supposed to be like right?
Pappy and Gabe having a heart to heart!
Gabe LOVED throwing the frisbee!
Watch out ladies...
We headed to rainforest cafe one night to eat... it was super yummy!
On Tuesday we enjoyed Sea World!
Our crew...
Stingrays...
Sharks!!!!!!!
Pappy and Ella enjoying each others company.
Gabe and Brynna decided to take their chances on their first roller-coaster!
They did great!
I was so proud of them.
On to the Shamoo Show.
Then it was time for some lunch.... pizza and chicken fingers!
Tummies full and legs tired... our two decided to sack out!
What a place to fall asleep!!!!
the penguins....
time for ICECREAM.....
this was the biggest smile I saw all day!!!!!!
Sealions...
Ella trying to be like uncle Alex....
Uncle Alex did an amazing job making sure we saw everything we wanted too...
We called him our tour guide.....
More swimming...
Yummy jellybeans....
Can you tell my little girl likes her snacks???
She is eating some chips in this one...
Silly boy.....
Watchin a movie before bed...
Our family of four went one night to check out the T Rex restaurant.
Gabe spotted it one night and kept begging to go back... so that is what we did.
It was a really cool restaurant...
Can you tell Gabe is scared out of his pants.. he was a little hesitant when
he actually got close to them...
sorry this one is sideways.
We then walked around downtown Disney, only to find....
some princesses....
And Woody!!!!!!
Time for a special treat!!!
Sadly enough the last day had arrived...
we soaked up as much sun as we could and then headed home.
