spring break getaway

With Asher being in Kindergarten this year, it's our first year of real school, with a real schedule.  Preschool had days off, of course, but if you missed some or decided to take a family vacation no one cared.  This year Asher's days are tracked and we had to be at school when it was in session!  Even though we knew we'd have a little baby Drew and I decided to plan a trip to Florida during Asher's spring break since it would be the only chance we had to get away.  It was a bit of a gamble with a 2 month old, but I'm so glad we did it!  We all needed a break from the cold and everyday.

Noel was the wild card in this equation, but he did wonderfully.  He was still little enough to just go with the flow and not be bothered by sleeping in a new place.  Since I'm his food source that was easy to bring too.  :-)

This munchkin and I spent a good amount of time snoozing by the pool or walking around the community with him in the Solly.  Everyone offered to watch him so I could go with the bigger kids to the beach (and I did once or twice) but with Noel eating every 2 hours it was just too fast to really make all of the effort worth it.

Asher and Hadley love the beach and made themselves right at home.  

It's so fun just to watch them having fun!

Noel made it down to the beach once.  He was exhausted by the effort.  :-)

Of course we spent a lot of time in the pool too!  Asher and Hadley are both getting much better at swimming, but they need all the practice they can get.

Um.  Hello, cutie.  Baby swimsuits are THE BEST!

The only bummer was that Asher got sick a few days into our trip and was dragging for a bit.  It ended up being a virus of some kind - luckily he rallied before we left.  The next time we come to Florida we'll have another toddling guy!
