Crescent Beach

The second half of our trip was spent on the heavenly Crescent Beach. We relaxed on the beach everyday and had a few outings. We celebrated the twins 21st Birthday- Mallory and Mitchell, by going out for some Italian. Christian had his first taste of calamari, and loved it. We asked him if he knew what it was and he said "ya octopus". So, Mercedes seeing how much he was enjoying it said "I want some Ursula too" We all cracked up and she loved it too. It a amazes me what my kids will eat. We went into St. Augustine for a day and did a little shopping, went to the Fort, and had a picnic at Washington Park. But, mostly we swam and sunbathed...and the kids loved every minute of it. Thanks to our families for making it all possible. We love you very much and cherish the time we spent with you.

DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

Well, we are sad to be home from our 2 week vacation in Florida (our home away from home.) It was a blast and by far our favorite family vacation thus far. We spent our first week in Orlando at a resort and went to Disney World 6 days in a row. It is all kind of a blur now, but we had a ball. Watching the kids beam with excitement over the Disney experience, brought tears to my eyes. We went to Epcot/Animal Kingdom for a day each and Magic Kingdom/Hollywood Studios for two days each. Every park was wonderful and offered a variety. We went with my whole family, it was so great to have everyone together for a family vacation. The kids can't stop talking about Disney World and can't wait to go back again!!! We took over 1000 pictures but here are some of our favorites :)

Christian's School-Aquarium, Field day, and Graduation

Christian's Last Field Trip of the school year was to the Aquarium. The kids had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back. Christian's Field Day was at a park close to the school. We played on the playground, had a water fight, a balloon toss, and ended the morning with a yummy Popsicle. The last day of school was a short program, the kids sang songs and taught us about the Montessori program they have been learning. It was so much fun watching Christian perform. We are so proud of you buddy and love you so much.
