Spring Break Florida Style

For spring break we decided to take a trip down South to visit our good friends, the Browns, in Miami!

Our first day there we went to pick strawberries at this little farm!
Brooklyn was thrilled to see her best buddy Jackson and she had so much fun running around picking the HUGE berries.

We picked about 3 pounds of strawberries! Brooklyn was disappointed when we had to leave.
The cute farm. They had so many strawberry plants, tomato plants, peppers, and flowers. It was so fun!
After picking berries we went to drive by the Everglades! Right by the entrance to the Everglades we saw 4 or 5 alligators swimming around-it was crazy!!
We were only about ten feet away from all of them, it was awesome!
Taking a walk by the bay in downtown Miami
the moon was so big and bright that night!
On our way back home, Brooklyn spotted this huge cockroach on the sidewalk and had to spend a few minutes watching it.
Of course a trip to Miami isn't complete without a trip to South Beach!
We had looked forward to going to this beach all week long. The clear blue water was amazing!
It looked so sparkly and beautiful.
Little Bostyn slept right through most of the beach trip
We also got to see a huge cruise ship head back into the port
Jackson and Brooklyn never left each others side the entire trip!
Once Bostyn did wake up, she wasn't too thrilled about the water
So she fell back asleep with cute little Sam.
We LOVED this beach!
The Brown family

After the beach we grabbed some lunch at the famous Shake Shack and drove around Miami. It is such a pretty city!
While we were in Miami, one of Greg's lifelong dreams came true! Jeff took Greg to see the Miami Heat, and of course Lebron James!
Inside the arena
He was in HEAVEN!

We had such a blast in Miami, but soon it was time to head to Orlando! Bostyn was all smiles at a quick pit-stop.
The next phase of our trip was a day at Disney World! We didn't tell Brooklyn we were going until we drove through the entrance and she was SO excited!!

The first ride she requested was Pirates of the Caribbean!
No trip to Magic Kingdom is complete without watching the parade! So many characters stopped by Brooklyn and shook her hand, she was so happy!

After the parade and so excited to be at Disney World!


Bostyn was such a good baby the entire day!
We were planning on going home the next day, but thanks to our awesome sister-in-law Nicole, her brother was able to get us into Animal Kingdom for free so we stayed one more day!
Waiting for the dino ride
The weather was so sunny and perfect!
I love seeing how happy and excited she gets for everything!
The best part of Animal Kingdom was seeing Winnie the Pooh and his buddies.



After Animal Kingdom we headed back to Magic Kingdom and hit up the teacups!
Love this!
After the fireworks we decided to stay late and go on more rides!
The carousel was one of them. Brooklyn always wants to ride this one multiple times!
We had so much fun on this vacation, it was definitely a much needed break for all of us!

Valentines Week!

Before I forget, I thought I better write about Valentine's Day! We had a fun Valentine's week thanks to Greg and all of our friends!

Since Greg had school on actual Valentine's Day, he surprised us with flowers, pizza, candies, and cake a few days before! We were pretty excited, and Brooklyn especially loved the flowers!
and of course the cake.
I love February not only because of Valentine's Day, but because our anniversary is two days later!
Happy 5 years!

We also had a Valentine's party with all of our friends. Brooklyn wanted to make them all big heart cookies!
Brooklyn's hair is getting so long, it has been so fun trying out new hair styles on her.
Ready to party!
Making candy necklaces at the party. She insisted on wearing this helmet the entire time.
Brooklyn and all of her friends!
Not only is this picture so cute, but so are their names- Brooklyn, Bostyn, and Londyn
Our two cute Valentine girlies!
Showing off their Valentine's loot! Thanks Grandmas!
