Justin and Kyle: Visit to Florida

February 4, 2012

Visit to Florida

We spent the week in Florida with Grandma and Grampa at their new place. Their house is just perfect and we are sooo happy that they are getting to spend a few months down there - they deserve it! They arrived down there mid-January and have been busy bees getting things just like they want them. They are probably back at work now that we left!

We arrived Saturday night and by Sunday night Justin was pretty sick. He had a fever and we ended up at Urgent Care on Monday morning. He was working on a nasty cold turned infection. Thankfully the antibiotics kicked in and he improved quickly. Just wouldn't be a vacation without a trip to Urgent Care!

Dave and I left on Tuesday and visited Sanibel Island and stayed at the Marriott Resort near there. It was nice to have a night off from the sick kiddo- and of course Justin was a perfect angel since Mommy wasn't around. He got back on track with his sleeping schedule and Grandma said she couldn't have asked for a better kid.

The moment I arrived back on the scene on Wednesday he was a whiny mess driving me insane - thankfully he was back to being a good kid by Thursday. I can tell I'm going to really enjoy the terrible 2's.

Wednesday Grandma bought some fishing gear and her and Dave took turns fishing...Dave mostly messed up the line - but Grandma caught a salt-water catfish!

Justin wasn't so sure about the swimming pool at first- but by Wednesday afternoon he walked me over to it and said "water" and I told him to go ask Daddy if he'd get in the pool with him - so he walked over to Dave and said "Daddy pool" and was excited to get back in it and play. It may be time to start thinking about some swim lessons!

Thursday we went to Fort Myers Beach and visited some of Grandma and Grampa's friends and walked around town. Justin fell in love with their Jeep - he could have stayed there all day.
