Our Trip to Florida

Okay SO I've tried to post this about 5 billion times, but I've had problems getting pictures to upload. You can't talk about Florida without pictures!!!!! My connection at home is just too slow. But, my mom's is much better and I've finally remembered to bring pictures with me, so here is a mass picture posting to catch up on the last year...

Earlier this year in March, we went to visit my sister Jamie and her family in Florida. She had a new baby in February, Allison, and we went out to attend her baby blessing. It was so much fun!! It was still cold and snowy in Idaho, so it was nice to go and enjoy some warmth and sunshine. Jamie has four kids now, and they are a riot! We brought my other nephew Trey with us--he LOVED flying on the plane--and it was awesome to see the kids all playing together since we're not all in one place very often. Remember those days of sleepovers, laughing all night and pretending to be asleep when mom finally comes in to make you settle down? Ah, those were good times. :)

This is Trey with my Grandma, Doris Gardner, while we were waiting at the airport.

Evan and Trey playing Wii boxing--I love the Wii!!

Hailey with her favorite person--Grandpa (my dad)

Playing card games--Evan, Brandon, my mom, and Trey

I love this picture, it totally shows the personality of the kids. Katelyn decided to dress up and Brandon crashed in on her photo shoot. :)

While we were there, we took Evan and Trey for their first swim in the ocean, and they LOVED it!! Jamie's son Brandon tried out surfing on his boogy-board, and the kids played for hours in the waves. It was such a nice day!! I love the beach!

These are the kids, big and small ;), enjoying the sunshine and water. As well as Katelyn striking a totally Katelyn pose. She is hilarious!

Shell hunting was fun too, we all found cool shells to bring home.

Here is Katelyn and Trey dividing up their spoils...

We all also went to SeaWorld--can I say WOW?!?!?! That place is amazing!!! The shows were incredible, and we even go to see the baby dolphins in the nursery pool.

The only bad part was coming home and driving back to Idaho in a blizzard--BRRRRRRRRR!!! No joke, we went from 85 degrees to 23 in a matter of a few hours. Plus we couldn't see because of the blowing and drifting snow from just outside Salt Lake all the way to Inkom. It was crazy!
