Florida Day 2

This morning Jack got to take the golf cart for a ride around the neighborhood
Owen got his chance too!
While we were waiting for the weather to warm up for the day we went to the park.

Traveling Babies

We made the trek to Florida today and I thought I would post some pictures of the adventure. Here is Owen in the airport before we left.

Florida Bound

The bags are packed and we are ready to go! We leave for Florida tomorrow morning. I have been telling Jack about it for about two months so I don't think he believes we are actually going on an airplane tomorrow but he is going to be so excited! I am a little nervous about the flight with two wiggly toddlers but hopefully everything will go smoothly and I'm sure the boys will love to be able to play in the warm weather. I am bringing my laptop so I can still post to the blog (mostly because if I wait until I get home I will have to organize about 700 pictures at once and that doesn't sound like fun!) so you can look for updates with pictures and videos of our vacation! Here are a few pictures and a video from tonight.

This is what Owen spends a lot of his day doing. I love how he swings his arms back and forth when he is wandering around.

Trooper Owen

This morning Daddy trucked Owen into the emergency room because he has been struggling with a cold which had obviously led to an ear problem. We decided to do the emergency room because we are leaving for Florida on Tuesday morning and we wanted to get some antibiotic in him before we have to get on the airplane. The doctor confirmed that he has an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection but he has been such a trooper. He is still really happy despite the fact that his ears are obviously bothering him. He was even protesting eating and sleeping (two of his favorite things). He managed to get some important stuff done today though.
He cooked a wonderful meal in the mini kitchen.
He rode Jack's tricycle backwards
He watched Jack turn his tent upside down
He helped Daddy with some plumbing work





He made a huge mess eating mashed potatoes and corn


Notice the Otis nose by his hand
Lucky Otis!
