Fun in Florida

We recently came home from a week in Florida. My parents have become snow birds since they retired. This year we were finally able to join them. It is not the easiest place to get to from Washington. Especially when storms slam into Atlanta two days before you are planning to connect through there. Thankfully, we were able to rebook our flights and made it just one day later.
We had a lovely time with my parents and sister and her husband. We went to the local circus, the aquarium, a circus museum, the beach, the beach again, the pool, and the happiest place on earth (just for a day). It was busy, yet still relaxing.

Our haul

My great uncle and his wife were in Florida too! We met up at Disney World.

Hello little friend from the ocean!

8!

Whilst we were in Minnesota, a shocking thing happened. We have known it was coming for a while now, but, it happened. Odin turned EIGHT YEARS OLD!

Just look at how surprised he is.
Can you believe it? I can, but only because it was over a month ago.  Eight! crazy eight.
What a crazy, fun, exciting, joy it has been the last eight years.

We clean up nicely. (when we have to)

Our Minnesota family!

All bundled up. To brave the cold, and it was.

John, Odin and Grandpa went out for a ride.

Blue overload
