visit to Florida

On January 15th, Kenneth accepted a position with Secant medical and had his start date of Feb. 1st. A couple days later we decided to take advantage of our last week of him having off, and we drove to Florida to see his family! So, here are pictures from our trip South....

It rained the entire day we drove there, except for about 2 hours when we were in Tennessee and the temperatures were so warm, we decided to stop and let the kids run around at a rest area - they had a blast AND got really muddy!

The first day we were in Florida, we took a walk and it felt so good just to be in the sun

On Friday, we went to a Gator swim meet

Ellie just couldn't stay awake any longer

ON Saturday we went to the zoo with Babi and Uncle Mike - it was a little chilly in the morning

Uncle Karl, Aunt jenny and Sarah came to church on Sunday and spent the day with all of us

Uncle Karl brought their juicer they got for Christmas and the kids loved juicing all the citrus they brought. They brought a whole cooler of oranges and lemons - from their back yard!!

Esther really got into it

Monday, Papa had the day off work, so we all went to the park
Notice how everyone is worried about Luke!

One big happy family

This trip was so wonderful because we just did things as a family and had a blast - we took lots of walks, daddy took the kids for walks through the woods, we went to the zoo, we went to the park, and we got to go to a Gator swim and dive meet.

Thanks to Papa and Babi for such a wonderful time!
