Florida and Easter- Photos

We decided to take a last minute mini-break to Florida. My mom had surgery a few weeks prior and she and my dad really wanted to meet ds3 and spend Easter with us. They couldn't make the trip up with her recuperating, so we decided to head down there. Thursday through Sunday, a long weekend, but it was just enough time to kick back and relax a little bit.

We spent a lot of time in the pool, and the older boys got to go golfing with Grandpa. We went to Downtown Disney and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and walked all around. (It was busy though.... that's what you get when you visit at that time of year). We celebrated Easter with my parents as well and ds3 had his first egg hunt. He was sooo cute! Here are some photos of the trip!

All my boys in front of a dragon made completely of Legos!


Ds3 in front of a Lego made St. Basil's Cathedral.

The older boys in front of St. Basil's. They found it and ran to tell me to get a photo! It means so much more to them now that they have seen it in person!

Chris and the boys - picture perfect opportunity!


Ds3 at the Rainforest Cafe.... how cute!

More smiles!

St Basil in legos...very cool!!! DS3 looks so happy and his big brothers do too! As many times as we have been to Disney, we have not been "downtown". Hopefully we can squeeze it in next month when we go to Lakeland for my nephew's HS graduation. Glad you had a nice visit with your parents.

So glad to see the pictures--you all look so happy and DS3 is just radiant! I'm so glad that you got to get away and spend some family time; WDW is one of my favorite places in the whole world--

Thanks, too, for your encouragement--it has definitely helped me "hang in there"!

It looks like you had so much fun!! I love the dragon and St. Basil's made of Legos! How neat that your older boys found it and knew how important it was! The last pic of Ds3 is adorable - I love that grin!
