Florida with the Fam

My whole fam...Mom & Dad, Kyle & Heather, Chad & his girlfriend Lorien, Chad, Gavin & I all went down to Florida for a family vacation together. The boys stayed for 3-4 days and the girls stayed a week. The weather wasn't as warm as we would have liked but that did not stop us from lots of golf, pool fun & shopping. As usual, Gavin was extremely spoiled with attention (especially in the pool with his uncles--one day he was in the pool for 2 1/2 hours STRAIGHT btwn Chad, Chad and Kyle). It was a great time for our family to get together and we questioned staying right through Thanksgiving....if only it were that easy...

Starting out the trip with a brand new adventure.

Walking right into Uncle Chad's arms again...and again...and again...

Throwing a little weight around.
We went out for ice cream and of course Dad was the only one indulging in two enormous scoops!


Heather got in touch with her inner super hero.


Gavin was in his glory and thought everyone's ice cream was for him. However, the biggest hit of the ice cream treat was using his very own mini taster spoon to get some from everyone.

Most of the time, his spoon came back empty but he didn't care.

Finally we got him to go for it.

The ladies.

How Grandma and Grandpa spend their afternoons.

Hot tub time! Gavin was a bit leary of the bubbles.

Kyle thought this picture would be so great...Gavin chilling by himself as if you can't see Kyle's huge body underneath him in the water.

Playtime and wrestling.

Gavin's BFF for the week and the recipient of many unsolicited open-mouthed kisses.

This post basically proves yet again how spoiled I am....because each month this fall there is a post dedicated to a Naples vacation and each time has been so relaxing...and this one was no different.
