In March, we took our annual vacation to Florida where it was sunny and (kind of) warm! Only this year, something was missing...BEN! Unfortunately, the school district opted NOT to have a Spring Break Week this year, and since "vacation days" don't really exist for teachers (I guess they think having the whole summer off is enough) Ben had to stay home!
Luckily, we had Grandma, Granpa, and this crew (see below) to help out...not that Alex and Katie had a TON of extra time to deal with my boys...
but Jonas did manage to find lots of time to hang out with Uncle Alex!
And doesn't Grandpa look like a pro???
Miles loved the beach, and still starts chanting "to the beach, to the beach, to the beach, beach, BEACH!" and swinging his arms like he's marching every time we look at pictures! Thanks for that memory, Grandma!! :)
Just hanging around...
Miles and I spent LOTS of "quality time" together!
Abbie and Jonas really are best buds and have lots of fun together!
Ice cream nights are always fun! It was pretty funny to watch people veer WAY around this group's sticky fingers and chocolate-y mouths! And Katie got a lot of funny looks, too...just how many kids DO you have???????????
The beach pose...
By the time they are 10, I wonder how many buckets of water Abbie and Jonas will have hauled up the beach?
All so happy to be in Florida!
Can't wait 'til next year!

haha! I just posted a small disclaimer on our blog under that very picture of myself and all the ice-creamed children...JUST so people are clear that although I would adopt your boys in a heartbeat, Alex and I weren't THAT busy that fast...;-)
I love it! So much fun! Wish we had these opportunities more often. What a great week it was - but we missed you Ben!
