A Whole Week with Grandpa

So the great thing about my Dad being single again is that we get him all to ourselves. He took the entire week off last week to spend with the kids and me, and we had a blast! We had perfect weather and our awesome children were flexible in their nap schedules so everyone was happy. Every day was filled with an adventure...

MONDAY
at the Lake Park and then lunch at Chick-fil-a

TUESDAY
at the indoor playground at the mall.

WEDNESDAY
at the Florida Aquarium.

THURSDAY
Cam gets turned around, now forward facing in his car seat as we venture to the Lowry Park Zoo with Aunt Lauren too. Millie has her first ring pop and camel ride.

FRIDAY
at the beautiful Honeymoon Island Beach.


Needless to say, we're "taking it easy" this week. That is, if you call potty training easy.

Florida vacation: The Pool and First Official Haircuts

Since Matt's away, we're spending 6 weeks in Florida with my family. Last week was our first week here and we've spent every single day in the pool. Millie is becoming a fish in the water as she is learning to swim with armbands. I picked up that bathing suit for $5 at Target- couldn't pass it up!
Camden, on the other hand, would rather stay on dry land and pull the little plants off the ground growing in between the pavers by the pool and play with the big basketball.
This past weekend Matt flew in for a very short but very worthwhile visit. I picked him up from the Tampa airport at 1 am on Saturday and he left at 6:30 pm on Sunday. The first thing we did was take the kiddos to get their first official haircuts at a place called ShortCuts in International Plaza. Millie sat in a Barbie jeep while Cam sat in a boy jeep. They both behaved excellently! Millie even got some fairy dust and a tiara in the end. It was a lot of fun and extra special to have Matt there.

and now enjoying a rewarding snack together on our way to the indoor playground


Millie loves to climb to the top of everything and jump off. It's a good thing her Daddy's a dentist! Camden loved crawling into the cave and playing peekaboo with Matt.

Matt will be visiting again for Cam's birthday celebration which happens to be a 4 day weekend for him. I can't believe our boy's going to be one in less than a month!
