We stayed in Daytona Beach again on Friday night so we could meet up with Matt's old boss on Saturday for lunch. It was great to see some of the guys that Matt really enjoyed working with. After catching up with them for a bit we headed off to Tampa where Matt's parents were staying with some old Michigan friends - the Potter's. They were nice enought to let us all stay at their house for a few days. They have a pool so the kids thought it was the coolest place ever. We swam a lot. The kids are all little fish!! Maggie is still the most cautious one but she was dunking her head under and jumping in which is a big step for her :) Hailey we had to keep a life jacket on - she would just jump in - anytime, anywhere!! Jackson was diving for stuff on the bottom of the 8' deep pool. As long as Caleb was warm he loved it too. There was a jazuzzi that he could "walk" around the sides in. We even swam at night with the pool lights on one night.
Gail Potter knew Maggie's birthday had been the day before so she made cupcakes and planned a little scavenger hunt for the kids. They really liked it. Maggie loved having everyone sing to her again and, of course, opening a few more presents.
We still one more party planned here at home for her. She really wanted a friend party like Jackson but it turned out her birthday would be during the Florida trip we decided to go with plan B. So we will have dinner and cake/ice cream with her best friends family. Lucky girl.
