Our Week in a Nutshell

Reesi and Poppy at the zoo.

To Reesi's delight, we finally left for Florida at 6:45 Friday night. Reesi was running around the house screaming and dancing. Luckily, the screaming stopped when we got in the car and she immediately began working of her drawing and coloring. Around 10:00 we turned off her movie and told her to go to sleep. I think she was asleep in 10 minutes. I couldn't help but think how this ride next year will not be that easy since we will also have a nine month old. We arrived around 2:30, but Reesi was up the next day by 7:00!


Larry's sister, Jeff and Leslie, just moved into a new house with a pool and hot tub. Reesi is loving the pool and wants to be in it all day even though it is cold. She has enjoyed the hot tub too since it is nice and hot.


So we spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in Navarre, but due to the nasty weather we didn't make it to the beach. We did get to go to the zoo on Monday with Poppy. Luckily, I brought a big umbrella and we made it out nice and dry. Reesi and I then left for Tampa early Tuesday morning with Karen, Granny, and Papa Snoddy. Reesi was excited to get to stay with Angie and cousin Sophia and got to go to the Aquarium in Tampa on Wednesday.



Thursday Karen and I left for Disney with our two little princesses in the back. Sophia loved the teacups, but Reesi's favorite rides were the cars and Peter Pan. Larry arrived at the park (he had baseball games Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Destin) just in time for the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. This was actually Reesi's favorite part and she wore her Cinderella dress for the rest of the day. The girls were so good the whole day and we had a great time. I did leave my brand new phone I just bought on Monday on a park bench. I even jumped out of line for Peter Pan to go look for it, but it was gone and I was soooo upset! However, Disney really is a magical place because by the time we left the park that night someone had turned it into lost and found. That might have been the best part of the day for me!



Meemaw and Sophia went back to Tampa while Larry, Reesi, and I stayed for Epcot the next day. It was all so much fun, but two days is just not enough. It has just made me want to go back for much longer next time. When we left for home on Saturday morning Reesi cried real tears saying, "Can't we stay just one more day?" I felt the same!!
