Florida Trip

After battling leukemia and several infections since Christmas time, John's Grandpa Myron passed away on April 16th. John, Chad, and I flew down to Englewood, Florida last Thursday to join the rest of his family for the funeral. Despite the circumstances, the trip went well. We had great weather but could only enjoy the beach for a few hours one day. We have always loved Florida and hot weather, so it's always difficult coming back to Indy to a week of rain.


Before leaving for the funeral (don't ya think the blue paci goes very well with the attire?)



Chad and I had to wait outside for the funeral service to end since he was being a little loud

Always taking time to stop and smell the pretty flowers

Me in my make-shift bathing suit. A bit embarassing but thought I should include it.He's the only one who didn't get burnt! Thank goodness!

Love this innocent look...but couldn't get the picture to turn around

Daddy and Chad feeding the very hungry turtles off of John's Grandpa's dock

Look at the turtle in the middle. What a hoss!! What nerds....matching stripes!!
Newest favorite thing BUBBLES!!!


Daddy thought a small motorized bubble-shooter gun would be a great toy!! It was, until Chad spilled bubbles all over the place and then wiped it all in his eye.

Another great idea.......squirt guns! (notice his right eye is all puffy and red from the bubbles that had to be rinsed out while he screamed)

From left to right: John's Aunt Lorrayne, Uncle Gary, Grandma Mary Long, his Dad, and Mom
This boy can't get enough to eat! He picked every black bean off John's mexican dish and stuffed it in his mouth.
Waiting for the plane to take off for Indy (look at those tired eyes)
Slept on my lap the whole way home. A little uncomfortable for me but it made the flight much more peaceful.


A day of traveling really wears a kid out!
