Florida Trip 2010: Days 1-4

On October 2nd, Lilly and I decided to crash my family's vacation and join them in Florida. We flew to Orlando where my parents, Brandt, James, and Brayden picked us up from the airport. We were SO excited to see them and spend the next 11 days with them. 

We loaded our bags into the big GMC Suburban that my dad rented, and headed down to Clearwater Beach. It took us about 2 hours to get there and when we arrived it was just about bedtime for Lilly.

The next morning, I woke up to Lilly saying, "Mom, you are not going to believe this! It snowed last night!" I walked to the window and saw all the bright white sand. I had to laugh.

We found an amazing condo right on the beach. We had a wonderful time relaxing for 3 days. Lilly loved hanging out with her uncles. She thought she was just one of the boys. One night Lilly was getting ready to go to bed, and Limey came into our room and said, "Goodnight Sweetheart."  Lilly looked up and said, "Goodnight my Darling."

Lilly loved building sandcastles, collecting seashells, and jumping over the waves.

Our favorite thing to do while we were there was to go out an hour before sunset and walk up and down the beach. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous. There was also a good breeze for flying kites.

James, Brayden, and Brandt had a great time on the boogie boards.

 Lilly missed her Daddy so much, she decided to write his name in the sand

My dad brought Lilly her very own harmonica. They had a great time playing together. One night he even helped her make a shell necklace.
