In the Sunshine State
We officially went on our first family Vacation, and man was it GREAT! It first started out packing...anyone who knows us, we like to do things "inexpensively" so we didn't want to have to pay for more then one bag. We packed it the night before, and measured and weighed it and hoped it wasn't over the 50 lb limit. We got to the airport and it was exactly 50 lbs! EXACTLY! Crazy eh? Yea, we are good! On the flight home, it weighed exactly 50 as well, and that time we didn't even have a scale!
This is the sweet car we got as a rental. We were suppose to be getting the smallest cheapest car in the place, but they were out of them...so we got this! Yeah, we got lucky.

Drew picking oranges. The oranges were actually extremely sour...oh well.

A nice stranger took our picture, and they did good huh! I swear that never happens!

It was a wonderful well needed trip. It always seems like they go by way to fast though. I'm glad we enjoyed it while it lasted! Now its time to plan for our next adventure...hopefully to Oregon!
Anyway, that was only the beginning. The trip just continued to get better and better. Cruz did pretty good (definitely not great) on the flight down, and then was great for the rest of the trip. We didn't pack his pack-n-play because of the weight issue so we had him sleep in the closet...I promise it wasn't child abuse!! It actually worked out great, and he loved it.

Florida was awesome. I always imagined it would be beautiful, and it sure is! So green, and just chuck full of vegetation. I loved it!

While we were there we were able to go down memory lane for Drew (that's were he went on his mission) It was so awesome. He just came alive with stories, he was like a kid in a candy store for the first time. It was a really neat experience to see that part of his life.
We were also able to visit a family he taught while he was there. They were so amazing, and fed us delicious food. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
The Devera Family
We also visited the beautiful Orlando Temple. Unfortunately it was closed for cleaning so we weren't able to go through a session.

We got to go to Disney World too! A guy that Drew knew from his mission worked there and was able to give us the hook ups which worked out wonderfully for us :) It was a lot of fun! I would have to say our favorite park was Animal Kingdom. Here are a couple pictures... Sorry this post is chuck full of pictures...

The beach was a blast, that's what I was really excited about. Don't worry, we didn't get a tan or anything...I was a little bummed, but it was sure beautiful.

I LOVE the pics! Thanks for putting them up! You have the cutest family! We are so glad you guys had so much fun and that your first family vacation was wonderful! I still think you should plan to come visit us instead of Oregon though :). Okay, Oregon would be fun too. Maybe we'll just have to go to Oregon and meet up with you guys! We love you guys!
Hey great job on the blog!!! You guys are so photogenic!!! All three of you! I loved every single picture! How neat for Drew to get to go back to his mission. I'm sure that all who knew him there loved him like we do!! I'm glad you had so much fun--you both deserved it so much after working so hard all of the time!!! Love ya!!
Oh my gosh, you guys have the cutest little boy, I just want to reach through the computer and pinch his little cheeks. Glad you had fun on your trip.
