Summer vacation 2012

Glen took a week and a half off and we headed south!  We were so excited to see our family and friends.  Eloise got a nice treat on the way - a milkshake!  She loved it and did really well with it too.

 Yeah she liked it.

 We first spent a few days in Macclenny.  While we were there we went to Hudson and Chapman's last soccer game.  Eloise wanted to go out on the field and play too.  Glen and Bryn chased her down the whole time. 

In the end the boy's team won and they both scored a goal too!

We spent a lot of our time just relaxing and enjoying our time with family.  Granny was set on making us fat the whole time we were there.  She always wanted us to eat and of course she made my favorite key lime pie.  Yum!  

Eloise loved playing with her cousins.  They picked blue berries, went swimming, played with sidewalk chalk and swept the driveway.

 

 Eloise LOVES dogs.  Poor Coco was just the right size for her.  Eloise would chase her around everywhere.  Coco was sweet and let Woo pick her up here and there.

We celebrated Bobby and Uncle Robert's birthdays while we were there.  They each had their own cake.  We couldn't find the box of candles but I was able to find four in a drawer.  One of them turned out being a trick candle.  Notice in the picture Chappy covering his face.  The candle had just sparked.  It surprised everyone.  It was so funny!

My cousin Jenny got married while we were there too.  It was the sweetest wedding.  I'm so glad we were able to go.  I didn't get any pictures of the bride and groom though.  I don't know what I was thinking.  The kids got out on the floor to danced and collect the rose petals.

 

The Padgett's had a little bonfire one night.  The s'mores were so good!  Too bad Eloise was already in bed and couldn't come out too.  

 After Macclenny we spent a couple days in Orlando visiting Sea World and Disney.  From there we popped in on Glen's grandparents and sister Liz.  Eloise loves to play with her Brock cousins.  Ethan was so funny doing his Elmo voice for her.  

 Then we went to visit the Bowen's.  They are moving to Hawaii in about a month so this was the last time we'd see them for a long time!  (So sad but exciting at the same time.)  Again I didn't take any pictures!  I did get one...

 

We ate dinner at Bobby's parent's after church and met the new addition to the family.  Eloise didn't like the elk!  It was crazy big!!

We had a great time on our little vacation.  Now we're looking forward to our cousins coming up to visit us!
