Our Trip to Florida

This was Adam's first full week vacation since our honeymoon. I think we all enjoyed our time together.
Hunter likes to build roads with castles on the side. This was one of our masterpieces :)

The dump truck is a "Must Have" when we go to the beach or park.

Michelle and Dave invited us over for dinner the first Friday we were in town. It was like old times...lots of laughter and some wine. Hunter enjoyed "the girls" (see below) and then later fell asleep to his favorite movie "Cars". I think he enjoyed hanging out at the Legried's.

The 2nd Annual Christmas Book exchange was held at our favorite park. It was a perfect day (other than a few of our friends not being there due to sickness, they were missed). Hunter and Hallie are working on their letters to Santa while the others are off playing.Opening presents has taken on a new meaning this year.
The Lussier Family made an appearance. Andrew and Emma just had their 1st birthday in October. They are 2 beautiful blessings.
The party participants had a blast picking out their new books.
The past few weeks have been filled with tons of fun and sun. We spent most of the time outdoors and enjoying all of our friends. Hunter was invited to spend a few days at Mrs. Dominique's house. He loved being back with the "girls + Andrew". In fact on the way back to Bristol he requested to go there instead of going to school. Overall he has done fantastic with the transition and hasn't showed much emotion until this trip. He is continually telling us that he wants to go back to our Naples house. Thanks Jayme and Kevin for that :)

In a few words, we built sandcastles and tunnels, trimmed the bushes, pulled the weeds in our yard (I know that doesn't sound like too much fun, but I TOTALLY LOVED being in OUR yard), playing in the wagon, going down and throwing rocks in the canal, going to our favorite park, play dates, dinner dates (including one that Adam and I got to go on without little guy), and a Christmas Book Exchange. I also enjoyed just walking around the shopping venues and listening to the music and hustle and bustle of the season. YES, I said listening and not buying! I did have a Girls Night Out that ROCKED! And a Girls Day Out filled with wine and chocolate and window shopping...my favorite things! It just doesn't get better than that. Thank you for all of you that continually make us feel like family in Naples. We do miss each and everyone of you!
