Florida Vacation

Wow, we've had a busy few weeks.

While my "One and Only" went away on business to Niagara Falls, the kids and I headed to Florida to visit the Grandparents. We had a relaxing time...lots of swimming and enjoying life without too much of a schedule.

Our highlights:

• Trip to the farm: We bought corn at the farm. The line was so long so I was hoping that was a good sign and it was. It was DELICIOUS! As we waited, a tractor pulled up and dumped the newly picked corn into the Fruit and Veggie stand. You don't see that in the big city, my friend! I'm not sure my children realized corn came from anywhere other than the grocery store.


• Day at the Beach: We looked like those people in the old Huey Lewis and the News video-"If this is it". We toted all of our gear out to the beach. The adults sat in the shade of the canopy while the kids played in the water. We saw dolphins, a small shark...plus the usual, fish and crabs...not to mention the native creature...the local...complete with cigarette hanging from their lips while they yell at their kin.


• Adjustable Bed and Inversion table: Oh yes...it's like having an amusement park right inside the house. My parents bought an adjustable bed. They have come to terms with their decision and are loving every minute of it. The kids thought it was the greatest thing ever (I'll attach a picture). The inversion table...a contraption that one uses to flip themselves upside down-after securing their legs into these crazy straps. I'm still not sure of the purpose. When I'm on it, I feel like my head is going to explode. Charlie was too small for it. Emma spent several minutes of every day hanging upside down. When the adults refused to get up and strap her in again and again, she learned to do it herself.
