Since just after Christmas all the talk at our
house has been about Florida. My parents are snow birds and spend the winter on the white sand beaches of the Florida pan handle. Each year the girls and I make a trip to visit them. Typically we go down at the beginning of January but this year we waited until February. Everyday my mom calls the kids and tells them about the beach which fuels their conversation about Florida. Yesterday we awoke at 3:15am and headed to the airport, finally headed for FLORIDA!
Margot was a little trooper on the plane. On our first flight she
happily played with
all the toys that I had brought. We checked out lots of view mater reels, colored a little and even bothered all the surrounding passengers with a little flashlight.
Molly was very excited about flying. She wanted to know what all the little lights meant. She was very brave and sat in the seat across the
aisle from Margot and I. She was the perfect little traveler watching her movies and playing the
DS.
When we arrived in Florida the first place that the girls headed was out on the beach. They loves playing in the sand and jumping in the waves. They did not let the slightly cold and breezy weather deter their fun. By the time we headed back to the condo they were both soaked up to their necks.
Today we again we out to enjoy the weather. We played on the playground and even got out our bikes and took a little ride around the parking lot.
One of Molly's main objectives in Florida was swimming every single day. She had been taking swimming lessons at home and she was going to use her time in the sun to perfect her skills. She would work each day on all the skills that her swimming instructor had shown her. It was so amazing to see her pushing herself and really progressing each day. Today when we went to the pool Molly was truly swimming on her own. It was like she broke through a little barrier and she was swimming all over the pool on her own. It was AMAZING! Mommy is very proud!
