Fun in the Sun

Last week we went to Naples with our friends Ben and Carrie and their two kids, Taylor (3 1/2) and Zach (3 weeks older than Gavin). It was quite an undertaking and at times we definitely felt like the ratio of 4 adults to 3 kids was more than necessary. We had about 5 days of fun in the sun and it was so great! The weather was perfect which allowed us plenty of time for swimming and spending time outside. The boys golfed, we hit the spa and in between there were alot of fun times together. The kids were crazy for the pool and Gavin was crazy for the kids. He was often found trailing behind Zach or Taylor trying to do what they did, play with them or wrestle with them. It was a great vacation and we all had a blast. Here are a ton of pics...because I can't decide which to post and I just love them all...and its my blog so I can do what I want to. :) ha!


Two peas in a pod--these two played so well together.

Gavin and Daddy spent lots of quality time together (nice for Mom!!) Carrie and her peanuts.
I love these little buns...both sets!

Relaxing and watching a movie...for like 10 minutes until it was chaos again.


Cruisin the mall...the envy of all the other kids at the mall playland. That's right.

Taylor allowed her shadow to help her mix her "sugar."

Momma's Boy.

Lunchtime...aka Feeding Frenzy!!


Ahh...a moment of peace.

Aunt Jen and Tay..her response upon seeing this photo, "Wow! That's cute!" ..and I have to agree with the 3 year old.


But wow, she is darn cute.

An attempt at getting them all in a picture together.

The spicket...now that was a good time.

WWF...usually initiated by Gavin. He would run up to Taylor and bear hug her until they toppled on top of each other...again...and again...and again.

Imagine lots of sweating, high pitched screaming and laughing.

Followed by crying b/c inevitably someone hit their head.

Very cute group photo.

Time to get SILLY!


BFFs.

Zach and his Daddy.


Moms and kiddos.


At this moment both are shaking their heads "No-No" while staring at the temptation before them.

Rockin what he's got.

Harris Family.

Daddy and Gavin just doing some light reading.

Chaos at its best!

Love, love, love it! Especially the commentary, and why are your pictures so much cuter than mine? Seriously, I am going to steal a few of those. But really, I was kind of waiting for a comment on how I really know a lot about wine! Ha! :)

shoot! I forgot about that...I started getting flustered at the end and meant to do it...next time! :)

looks like so much fun. I might just have to stow-away in your suitcase the next time. Again...so jealous!
