Florida

We spent Christmas this year in Florida. It was way fun! We went to Disney world, Gator land, the beach, and many more fun places. Santa didn't forget us in Florida either!! It was fun to get away for a week! Ryan loves Florida. Whenever he sees a plane it reminds him of the trip and he wants to go back! Titan was awesome!! He is such a good baby ..always happy! He did so good on the plane and being away from his own bed..I don't know how I got such good kids! Dan is just Dan..always thinking of others and always helping me with everything!! I love him so much he really helped me this trip! Thanks Dan.. Dan gave the best gifts this year as well!! My favorite is my blog that he turned into a book..so now it is my journal. I will post it so you can see it but it is the cutest thing ever I love it!! He is the best! What fun.. Here are some pictures of the trip.. enjoy!!


Oh the plane ride there was scary!! I swear the wings hit the ground a couple times on take off... I knew we were goners!! But don't worry we made it!

Disney world!!








I had to post this picture for Nicole! Can you guess which one is me?








This was Ryan's favorite! It was a big play ground with dino things all over.. It was so fun!

I had to post this for Dan.. It has sentimental meaning..;)

Gator Land...

Ryan was holding onto a huge gators tooth!! We were standing in a huge gators mouth!!

oops this is Disney but lets just pretend that I posted it with all the other Disney pics..


Yes I almost got my had bit off! Those birds don't act as nice as they look!! Titan couldn't watch!!

Wow

Ryan caught this huge snake.. That's my Ryan!!

Christmas..




The first night at the beach!!


I love this picture of Ryan!! We had a blast catching ghost crabs.

The Beach..





This was Ryan's face the whole day!


Ryan loved the sand!

Papa kept catching fish which kept Ryan entertained.





Unfortunately we didn't find any decent size gators... Dan and Dave were determined to get a picture with something and threatened to break into Gator land if they had to... They ended up catching a couple little ones but still had a great time.

Papa and Ryan

Dan didn't want me to post this b/c he said it looked like a Pillsbury advertisement...


Dan's Bishop growing up and close family friends have a huge estate, complete with some exotic animals... We had a blast riding around on the ATV looking at the Zebra, Boar, Water Buffalo, etc...


Believe it or not, that longhorn is saddle broken... The thing was massive...


This Book of Mormon is one of the first 500 printed! It is a 1st Edition copy that is in incredible condition. Dan had held it when he was younger and wanted me to be able to hold it as well.



The third day at the beach..






It was such a nice day and the water was crazy warm!

Oh yes on the way home I had to see my bud edward..so he met up with us at the airport to say good buy. It was hard for him to see me go but sometimes that is just life! ;)




Best buds!!


Thank you Booky, Papa, and Josh for the fun trip!! We had so much fun!!
