FLORIDA FUN!!

We just got back from an amazing trip to Florida. My whole family decided to fly there and surprise my sister Heather for her 30th birthday. It was not easy keeping a secret like that for months before going. Needless to say, she was super surprised! Turns out that wasn't the only surprise that day. My sister Morgan's boyfriend surprised her by showing up in Florida and proposing to her. It was really sweet! The rest of the week was spent swimming at the beach and in the pool, celebrating Heather's birthday, going to the Lion Country Safari, Magic Kingdom, Gatorland and just spending time with family. When I got home I realized that I had taken over 500 pictures! I always kind of end of being the designated picture taker (probably because I always have my camera) so I have already posted over 100 pictures on Facebook for the family to see. Here are some of the highlights...

{Lion Country Safari}


A cool drive thru zoo. The animals come right up to your car. My favorite was this ostrich checking out something in the back of this guy's truck.

{Magic Kingdom}


Crazy rain storm at Magic Kingdom complete with lightning, thunder and run away strollers.


We stayed at this crappy Disney hotel with a Toy Story theme. It was hilarious!


{Gatorland}

This picture was actually taken on our way out of Gatorland after poor Hannah had heat stroke. We hung out in the air conditioned office for awhile until she felt better. At least she didn't pass out like the other kid they brought in.


This was our last day, relaxing in the pool, then saying goodbye!

Goodbye Florida! I miss you Heather! I miss the beach! I will definitely come back again someday!

How fun Hol! It looks like you all had a great time! I'm glad you all got to take a vacation together, your whole fam. I'm sure Heather loved having you all there! That's so sad about Hannah and having heat stroke, how scary! Now it's time to make a trip out to Cali...and visiting me this time:).
