Our Florida Vacation

Well we had a very successful first vacation as a family of 7. We flew to Florida last Saturday and stayed in Bonita Springs with my mom for 6 days. We had a great time and made tons of memories beginning from our crew trecking through the airport down to sea shells and alligators. The only negative about the trip was that we couldn't bring the sunshine (and my mom) back with us.
It was so fun to see the boys experience things for the first time. They were blown away by the weather change, the different vegetation and animals that we saw. We spent a few days at the ocean, one at the zoo and of course one shopping :0) The rest of the time they were pretty much in grandma's pool 24/7! The boys also got a great boat trip down the channel out to the ocean in search on Manatees. Although they did not see any we were very excited to see a family of dolphins at Fort Meyers Beach on Friday.
We had a fantastic time. It was really great to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy life to spend a week as a family just having fun!
