Florida 2016-Visiting the Smiths

We had the best time in Florida this year!  It was so nice to see Britt, Chad, and the kiddos on our first stop.  This is just a ridiculous amount of pictures, so I will just get to it.

The kids were sooooooo excited to see their cousins.  And also to wear shorts and sandals :)  We changed the second we got out of the car.





Caleb and Ike chilling on the couch.

We all felt very safe with these super heroes around.  Zac, Ike, and Sophie.

Cheese.











We mostly hung out and played at the parks nearby and the pool.  But on Saturday, we went to a resort and hung out for a bit.

Dave being super stoic on the slide.

Caleb was a little more excited.

Ike was just pumped we let him go down the slide!  He loves being grouped in with the big boys!

Cuteness overload.










We took a boat over to the front of Disney World.  The next pictures show how fun it is getting a picture of 6 kids

We got to roast marshmallows on the beach at the resort after checking out Disney and riding the monorail back.

Fire!

Ike and Dad.

Riding bikes over to Menchies!

Menchies yogurt is amazing.  We went twice while we were there.

Dave and Sophie posing at the pool.

Dad and Kyra came down for church and a cookout!







Whew, it was a whirlwind packed into three days!   And did I mention that 5 of the kids slept in the same room?  Not a lot of sleep actually happened I am afraid.  :)  Such great memories for the kids and for us!  Maybe next time we'll actually go inside Disney!

Wabash County Museum and Pre-Florida Stuff

This post is a little random.  I had to catch up on my blog before I could post all of the fun Florida pictures!  We haven't done a lot as of late, mostly been enjoying the somewhat warm weather!  We went to Logansport to visit family the last two weekends and we took a visit to our local museum (thanks Dad and Kyra for the membership!).  Otherwise, we've been gearing up for vacation.





Dave working on circuits at the museum.











Ike and Grandpa Boo riding the moped tour of our county at the museum.













Ready to go play outside  :)  Here's a video of Ike being goofy dressed as Captain America.














The drive down to Florida was fantastic!  The kids did so well, and we are officially in love with having a DVD player in the van.  It was so nice to get a bunch of movies from Redbox and not hear any complaining for a long time!  And Josh and I actually got to listen to our podcasts without interruption.  So nice.









Driving down.

We made it to Florida!













Our first stop in Florida took us to Brittany and Chad's in Orlando.  Hoping to post on that tomorrow!
