More Florida Fun

The dream trip continued.


Ladies' day out was a success! Our painting class was so much fun, and it was amazing how creative and varied our finished products were.



The kids had fun going to a museum.




The guys had guys day...

Date night was a highlight for me!


We continued having lots of fun in the sun...







... and inside.


Melissa and Amber took all the middles on a bike biking adventure one day. It was so much fun they decided to go again the next day with the rest of the adults and the teens. 




It looked amazing! But you know me and bicycles. I happily stayed home with the littles and the middles. We did crafts, cleaned up, ate food, and started packing (sadly!). 




MeMe and PaPa took everyone out to a movie as a prize for their kind service they gave each other all week.




And then, sadly, the whole trip had to come to an end.




We were just a little tired.

Florida!

 We met up with Trey's whole family for an awesome reunion in Florida. Aiden was here the week before for lacrosse camp at BYU. We loved having him!


3:00 am never looked so good!




Our first night we had a quick home evening and a favorite things gift exchange by age.


I think the best parts of the trip were playing games, talking, and just hanging out together. And High Fitness, of course!






I loved reading to the little girls as I tucked them in each night.

For Tommy and Alicia's anniversary, we surprised them with a little luau program. Melissa made it super easy to put together.

The Middles did a fire dance.

The Littles did a pig play.


The Teens did a musical number and a silly grass skirt dance.

I think my kids were in heaven spending time with their older cousins for a week. Especially Ruby.


The pool was fun and so convenient.

Day time at the beach was so fun... but I didn't bring my phone. Night time at the beach was amazing too!

We caught little sand crabs many times. So delightful!


Melissa also put together a little circus activity one morning.


The teen boys ran around with candy glued to their shirts. That was pretty hilarious!

Of course, at the end of all the games, the kids' favorite part was the cotton candy.

Fun stuff!
