The time of the year that I always look forward to happened last week! My Dad, Mom, and Whitney were able to come spend time with us here in Florida for Whitney's spring break. I was honestly in heaven the entire time and cherished every second I had with them. Brod took his boards (the clinical test we've heard about for the last 4 years) while they were here and instead of it being the stressful experience we have heard about, my amazing family made it a special one. I'm so thankful for the time they were here and for the memories we made that I will never forget.
I had to get a picture by my beautiful mom with the grounds of their hotel in the background
Everyone had so much fun swimming together at my parent's pool
Setting sail on the pirate ship
Night swimming
The cutest couple in the world
What pool party wouldn't be complete without pizza?
Dad and Brod with the princesses before the big show: Disney On Ice!
Dad was so amazing- of course he made sure we had the best seats!
Audrey really felt like a princess and in my opinion, there are 2 Snow Whites in this picture!
During intermission Grandpa got Lex and Audrey popcorn- of course it was in a darling box!
When Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy came out, this was Audrey's reaction:
She was just giggling and waving to them!
When Tinkerbell flew out, this was Alexia's expression:
They did a whole act about the Fairies of Pixie Hollow and Alexia absolutely loved it!
All of us afterwards- it was such an amazing show!!
On our way to Hollywood Beach we had breakfast at the Original Pancake House- so good!!
So excited to start the day at the beach!
And even more excited to start it with Grandma, Grandpa and Whitney
My 3 beach babes! The sprinkler park across the boardwalk is the perfect because not only do they have a blast, but I don't have to worry about rinsing off all of the sand!
Grandpa got the girls an ice cream cone on the boardwalk and they were so proud!
We threw Brod a Congratulations party after the second day of his boards when he was all done- it made it so special
Okay, Brod and I were able to go to the funnest restaurants with my parents and everytime, the food was AMAZING! (It probably had to do with the company we were with!)
Of course, we had our pop runs to RaceTrac! Our mugs look huge, but they hold about 32 oz and keep the ice and pop cold ALL DAY!
My Mom, Whitney and I were able to have an afternoon together and we ate at my very favorite mexican restaurant and then went shopping!
The women at Rachel's (a boutique type store) couldn't get over how gorgeous my mom was! I was real proud!... but not surprised!
My Dad and Brod went to the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami and watched Andy Roddick and Roger Federer play!
Andy Roddick
Roger Federer
While the boys were in Miami, the girls went to Wannado City! (An indoor theme park where the kids can do any grown up job and get paid for it) The girls were so excited to go with Whitney!
We stopped and had lunch at T.G.I.Fridays
This was at the circus- Lex crossing the tightrope
Audrey had to cross it too! I wonder why Whitney didn't want to...:)
They successfully completed Clown College! :)
Being a dentist
And of course my mom and I had to get a picture in front of the "Coca-Cola Bottling Plant"
Creating their own candy and chocolate at the Willy Wonka Factory
Whitney and Alexia were the girls at the grocery store that would ring up the groceries
And Audrey took her little cart and was the shopper!
They got to spend some of their hard-earned money on the carousel Then they were anchors and the weatherman on CNN. They were really on the t.v.s around and we got the dvd to take home- it was so cute (Whitney did so good with the weather- she sounded darling)
Then they had the hard job of being a model! The parents had to sit in the chairs next to the catwalk while the girls went in the back and got changed. Then the music started and thier names were announced. When they heard their name, they came out, walked the runway and struck a pose!
It was absolutely darling
I loved my little models! :)
This is where they could mine for jewels or dig up dinosaur bones
At the end of the day, they were able to use their money to pick out a prize. Audrey said her favorite jobs were shopping and modeling. :) I LOVED getting to have Whitney stay with us- she is the funnest person to be with for sure!
Thank you so much Dad, Mom and Whins for coming. Every memory was more than fun- they truly were special. I love you and miss you so much!
My Dad, Mom and Whitney come to Florida!
