Fun with Family in Florida

 We were able to take a trip to Florida to see Garrick's sister and her family over spring break.  We love visiting FL, but we sure wish they lived closer!  Logan and Lexi had a lot of fun playing with Jake and Sydney.  We thought Lexi and Buddy (the dog) would clash a bit since they would be in each other's territories, but they got along great.  Lexi loves dogs! 

Here are some pictures of some of the things we did on our visit:

It happened to be Easter weekend, so we found a local Easter egg hunt.  They had lots of fun activities, but the hunt itself turned out to be pretty lame.  (They threw eggs on the grass, and each kid could pick up 3 empty eggs.  Then they waited in line and turned the eggs in for 3 pieces of candy.)  Logan loved it anyway.

I think Logan snuck in a little early.

"Whatcha got in that basket?" - Lexi

In addition to the regular Easter bunny stuff, the neighbor family across the street came over and left eggs and baskets for the kids outside.  They even left baskets for Logan and Lexi, too.  Pretty nice neighbors, eh?  Well, that wasn't all.  They also brought us two pans of yummy baked French toast for breakfast.

We spent one day at Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom.  I didn't take many pictures there.  Here's the crew, minus Kendra, with the cool tree in the background.  It's got tons of different animals carved into it.  Unfortunately, you can't see it well enough in this picture.

Caught eating a snack.  He must've been on a growth spurt there.  He was constantly hungry!

One of Logan's favorite things was to play on this boat trailer parked alongside the house.

Petting some sort of lizard at the zoo.  I was impressed that he would do it.
