We were in Florida Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat. Matt's brother and his family were there, one of his sisters and her family were there, and his parents were there. So we had 8 adults and 10 kids!! There are some old family friends from Michigan that have a house in Florida and they allowed everyone to stay there. It was great to have everyone in one place. The cousins got in a lot of play time and A LOT of swimming time. A house with a pool is AWESOME! It helped that there was a fence around the pool and doors to block the kiddos from it. The weather was amazing. Sunny and 70-80's the whole time. We did the big Tday dinner on Wed so we could go to Legoland on Thur - in the hopes the crowds would be smaller. By the end of it Caleb was getting pretty comfortable in the WARM water and would jump in to us wearing a life jacket. Maggie was practicing swimming on her own. Jackson was constantly swimming underwater and Hailey was swimming around and jumping in with her life jacket on (and a few times without - we really have to keep an eye on her) :) Our whole family loves water. It was a good trip. It's always nice to see family and get to know everyone a little better each time we visit. Maybe we should invite everyone here....... then we won't have to drive ANYWHERE!! Oh, yeah. Maybe we should fill the holes in the yard first.....
