watch the boats go out, tan, tan and tan some more:) and of course TJ Maxx, which believe it or not is different than Idaho with much better stuff. Including suitcases to haul all your new stuff home:) This year was wild of coarse with the four boys (Houston 8, Triton 4, Hagen 2 1/2, Taylan 1 1/2) Me, Lacee and of course Granny B (LaDeane) We really thought "B" would run away on a cruise boat or try to drown in the ocean having to live with us and our crazy boys for two weeks but she was great.
Over the 4th of July weekend Torrey flew in for a few days which was great to have a man part way through to "kick butt and take names" no actually the kids were good. 
Torrey flew in to take Triton to NASA which was a big 2 day ordeal. It was definitely worth taking him. He is a huge "space shuttle" fan and knew everything that was going on. It was fun to watch Torrey teach Triton and Houston about things and I got to just follow along and actually enjoy reading the signs and getting to learn something new. I must say I would have been fine with one day at NASA but someone needed to take pictures:) Torrey was a great sport having to take care and deal with all three (me, mom and Lacee) of us women for four days. We were reminded that he "hates Florida" but really it may have been the humidity talking!(hence the happy picture)

Our condo was so perfect, but Logan had convinced us that we needed to see more of Florida than Cocoa Beach, so we took his advice and the last three days we drove across the state (all seven of us in our happy van) to Treasure Island. It was nice to see a different part, however we will save our touring to when we don't have little kids in the car for three hours. But we did welcome Logan to take them back to Treasure Island next year and us girls will stay at Cocoa Beach...we haven't heard from him on that yet!
The good part about Treasure Island is we went to Busch Gardens a day, which was great. Lots of animals to see and the boys loved that.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. We always make lots of memories that we laugh about all year. We are so blessed that Nanny and Pappa shared that lifestyle they so much enjoyed with us. We love the atmosphere, people and memories of Florida. We all leave crying but enjoy coming home to our own beds. One final picture is classic of Granny B. SHE WAS AMAZING!! To travel will grandkids and her girls, using all her vacation time means so much to us. We never could have done it without her. This picture is the final morning in Orlando, we had left the motel at 4;30 am to make our 7 am flight and the boys were roaring to go...needless to say we were tired. Hagen (Lacee's little boy) is a wild 2 year old and very loud. But he is so full of life. this is him screaming "airplane" in B's ear. it is so priceless!
