On Wednesday, at about 1:45, Debbie, Molly, Cayden and I
hit the road for Florida.
By 1:55
Cayden asked...
ARE WE THERE YET, MEM?
Beckie and Sarah gave Molly big hugs when
they dropped her off on Tuesday night!
Cayden wanted in on some of the hugging!
Sarah says she will miss her little sister!
On the road the cousins played and sang silly
songs together. I drove, while Debbie tended to
these two crazies in the back seat!
We had dinner and games here...
Love the rocking chairs at Cracker Barrel!
Molly took my camera and snapped a few pictures...
We drove till around 12:30 am and stopped in Fort Hill, Sc~
The kids napped at around 5 so Cayden was still up so
there was no sense in driving all night!
We hit the road again at 7 am on Thursday!
I dropped Debbie off in Sarasota at about 6:30 to see her Dad~
She will fly home on Wednesday!
Thanks Deb~ you were a big help with the kids
and I hope I saved you a bit of cash only having to
fly one way!
We got to the "Florida" at 8 p.m.
and did our traditional jump into the pool
with our clothes on!
Molly kept saying...
"it smells like Florida... yep, we are here!"
This morning, we had some errands to run before we could swim!
The wait at the gate
is just so hard!
Molly and Cayden put on their best faces
and sang..."Jump Up~ It's a Good Day, It's a Good Day"
saying Hello to everyone we met at the community center!
Finally home, they totally enjoyed a great day
in the pool~
Naps came next!
We walked with Roxi and her little friend "COOPER"
who would rather ride with Molly and Cayden!!
Roxi was just babysitting this cute little guy!
So fun...
so just like Mister, right Sarah?
We think they might know each other!!
When we crossed the state line into South Carolina
Molly shouted~
"Mister came here!"
Molly enjoyed talking on the phone to
Mommy and Sarah!
She told Sarah a secret!
A big surprise for Mommy when she gets to Florida!
ssh...
Cayden liked sending Mommy and Daddy videos
of the way he is swimming and jumping
into the pool! He also loved the video mommy sent him
and the funny email too!
He is waiting for you Sarah...
to help him catch a lizard!!
We are feeling the effects of the long car ride tonight!
We are so tired!!
See you tomorrow!

What great fun, what great memories ! There's truly only 1 MeMe and she's incredible to have such fun times with her Gems ! I'm so glad she's my friend ---- she's actually like a GEM to me !! So glad to be able to share some fun, fun times with you all !!
I know that you all will have such a GREAT time together!!!! Family time is the BEST... and I miss you already, Di!!!! Glad I got to talk to you a few times- even if it was to bail your a$$ out!!
Finally an update! I've been checking for days! We are loving the pictures you are sending and are so happy that you made it safely and that Molly "didn't even throw up!" Tell my girl we will definitely bring Snowy- Sarah has been babysitting and taking great care of him. We can't wait to get there and join you all in the pool. Although, those crocks sure look scary!! Love you all :)
How lucky for you to spend a couple extra days with just Cayden and Molly! I bet they'll have wonderful memories with Mem! I just LOVE the pool room... I would love to have one like that someday! :0) Have fun with the family!!
I am so jealous of your fun trip... your tradition of jumping in with clothes on no matter when you arrive. Lots of fun!!!
