Florida, Legoland and Gwyn can ride without training wheels!!

Can you believe this sweet girl can ride a bike without training wheels??  It was really amazing how quickly she took to it...we ended up taking her to our local bike store who has a guy there who claims he can teach any kid in an hour.  It only took her about 20 minutes!  This all happened the day before we left for Florida, but when we got back, she was back on the bike like she had been practicing all week.  She's ready for a long bike ride, she says:)

Here is a video of her first ride:

 Annie of course wanted in on this action, I'm sure she won't be far behind:

Video of Annie riding:


We had a great visit to Florida to see John and Claudia and while we were there we took the kids to Legoland.  Legoland was great, our kids were the perfect age, Jacob and Gwyn could ride everything and there were only a couple of things that Annie couldn't ride.  We started off the trip celebrating Daddy's 36th birthday with none other than awesome donuts!

 Daddy and his donuts with improvised tea lights, ha!

Legoland was AWESOME!

I think we have this same picture of Brian's grandpa with a lego guy like this from our trip in 2002.

A few videos of Legoland:


Jacob and Gwyn rode this ride, not exciting for them, but Annie loved it!
One of my all time favorite videos!

I'm convinced they filmed Jaws here:

They loved the rides!

One tired little girl on the drive back to John and Claudia's...so sweet!

Lego madness!

Love these two sweet sisters:

Secret frog hunt after the girls went to bed...this boy was in heaven!

Two baby lizards, who later got a pretty nice home along with lettuce and grapes after Claudia researched what food lizards would eat:

My little butterfly fairy:

I thought this picture was too cute of Gwyn with her giraffee on the plane ride home.  It was such a great visit,  I enjoyed my dinner out with Claudia, and John and Brian were able to go golfing with Jacob and out to dinner by themselves as well.  We ended our last night with swimming at their pool and an awesome grilled dinner out at their house.

Before we left for Florida, I had taken the girls to a Little Red Riding Hood play at a nearby church.  The girls loved it, we had front row seats.  You could get pictures afterwards with the cast...Gwyn did not want her picture with the wolf, ha!

Rapunzel was in this story as well, so Annie wanted her picture taken with her:

One happy boy who now has a Carlos Beltran Fathead on his wall from G and Grandpa...you should see his room now...he may be a little brainwashed, ha!

Such a funny picture, Annie discovered she could still fit into some build a bear clothes from Jacob's starwars bear, ha!

And the rainbow loom craziness continues at our house:

Sweet little Annie supporting her sister as she learns to ride her bike:

One excited and happy girl!

Funny things the kids said this week:
Gwyn:  I need some respect!
Gwyn:  How old were you when you met Jason?
Me:  I was 22 months.
Brian:  No, you were 0, Jason was 22 months, ha!
