Siesta Key 2015

We went to Siesta Key, Florida at the end of February for 8 days!  The kids were so excited and had been looking forward to the trip for weeks….while we were just trying to figure out how we'd get all 5 of us plus luggage through the airport!  We flew out on Friday afternoon and Emery of course hated the flight!  Of all the flights we've been on with our kids, we were finally 'those people with the baby.'  Although she didn't cry the entire flight, she definitely did her share of crying and I couldn't wait to get us all off the plane!

We spent the week playing at the beach and swimming in the pool!  We went out to dinner a few evenings, St. Armands Circle, the drum ceremony, and Scott and I even got away one evening to go out to dinner.

First time at the beach for Emery!  She loved playing in the sand!!!!

Elli and I found matching shoes…..we just had to get them!!

We made a last minute decision to go to Disney on Thursday!  This was definitely a different experience taking a 6 month old and someone who was feeling slightly under the weather (ahem…Dad).  But….we were able to meet up the Georges' and ride some of our favorite rides!  We rode the new Snow White ride, Barnstormer, Thunder Mountain, It's A Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Race Cars, carousel and Jungle Boat Cruise.  We also saw Mickey's Philharmonic, met Ariel and watched the parade. (we didn't all do each of those things)  We were done by 8:00 and exhausted.

 The kids took a nap the first day in Florida, but didn't take one the rest of the week!  They were both so exhausted by the end of the week!  Our flight home went much better than the flight there!

We had a great week and like every vacation, it went entirely too fast!  We came home to lots of snow and cold!  We were happy to sleep in our own beds, but missed the sun and beach!
