Florida

Every couple of years my parents plan a family vacation for our whole immediate family. So right now Jayden and I are on vacation with my parents, 5 of my siblings & their kids in Florida. We are having a great time, but we MOST DEFINITELY miss Shane and Tia. Tia is on vacation at her Aunt's house and is enjoying her first pedicure, playing with her twin cousins, painting, going to parks, and lots of other fun stuff. She's been a very lucky girl-Thanks Aunt Tera! And Shane is, of course, still in Texas :(

Anyways, we are going to be sharing a bunch of pictures these next couple of days so that Shane & Tia can still be a part of this! We love you both and miss you soooooooo much!

The Flight

Love this thing...it kept Jayden busy for 45 minutes on our flight to Florida!

The Atkin Clan (minus a few of the siblings) at the Orlando Temple.

Grandpa Atkin's 66th Birthday Party (at Buca di Beppo's)

Waiting for dinner to come.

Table 2

Grandpa Atkin had the little one's blow out his birthday candles.

For Grandpa's birthday we all contributed to his "new road bike" fund, so here's a cake showing what we got him (since we couldn't bring it with us).

Eating ice cream & cake after dinner. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Lizard Hunting with Uncle Rick

After dessert Uncle Rick took all the little kids out hunting for Lizards and other wild things.

We saw BILLIONS of these...

And this crazy thing...

(this made our night)

We also saw this sign by the Resort pond...

...gotta love Florida!
