Spring Break Destination

Ok, so of course our kids are not old enough for spring break yet, but our home was the destination this year for family. Trevor's brother BJ and his wife Andrea, took the beginning of their Spring Break to come hang out with us in sunny Florida. As soon as they arrived Easter Saturday, it was non stop. Markets, Beach, Coloring Easter Eggs, Easter Egg Hunt, Church, Camping, Adult night out, etc. One thing after another. They left us Tuesday evening so they could get back in time to finish up their week. The boys enjoyed having their Uncle and Aunt come and hang out with them. Derek almost did not leave Uncle BJ's side. He was following him everywhere or trying to get him to follow him around.

Wednesday the boys and I took the evening to prepare for my brother and his family's arrival on Thursday. Derek wanted to so badly to stay up for them, and he did, but he surely passed out mins after they arrived. Way too cute. I had to work Friday, but we made sure we made up for it on Saturday by going to the Air Show. What a great day to go. Cloud cover so it didn't feel too hot out. Still got sun and spent just enough time there to not have to deal with major crowds. The boys and donna could not get enough of the jets. Austin was constantly looking up and pointing them out. Derek wanted to look at all the trucks that were there.My brother Chris, his wife Angela and my niece Donna and nephew Shawn

It was good to see all of them. My niece Donna is getting so big. Can't believe it. She is a beauty too. My nephew Shawn, looks so much like his daddy. His hippie locks are so cute on him. My brother and his wife Angela enjoyed their stay too and to see their nephews.

It was great for family to spend their Spring Breaks with us. We are now farther away and is harder to see family so any moment we get to spend with them is a blessing. The boys enjoyed all the time they had with Aunts and Uncles as well as their cousins. To see them all together just shows how much they keep growing. We can't wait to see family again.Chris with his nephews.
