This weekend my brother Corey and his wife Robyn and my two nephews Tyler and Jake flew to Florida to visit us! We had a great time. They got to stay right on the beach and we all got to spend two days swimming and enjoying the great Florida sunshine. Although the forecast said there might be rain we didn't get any!
Kaylea was so excited to see Tyler and Jake. It makes me sad we don't live closer. Over the weekend we ate, ate and ate lots of good food and of course florida seafood! On Friday we went to a place called Red Fish Blue Fish where they play live reggae music outside. We sat right by the band outside (quite loud) but even though we really couldn't hear each other we had a great time! The kids wanted to get up and dance but just were afraid to make the move on their own, so I took the liberty of getting up and dancing first and it took them not even a second to follow. What was really funny is Kaylea was pulling the boys on the dance floor like crazy! LOL Guess she's alot like her mama! Haha!
Then on Saturday we went to my uncle's house and cooked out some big honkin' hot dogs and yummy hamburgers out on the grill. My aunt also made the best baked beans in the world! We had a blast although the pool was really too cold to go swimming! Jake said, "You'll never get used to this water its too cold!" But he said that while he was in the water! The kids worked on chasing lizards and picking oranges from the trees and we all had a great time! After my uncle's house we headed to my brother's hotel on Sand Key Beach and went to the pool and the beach! That was a lot of fun. Then we met up with Eric after he got out of work and went to PJ's (a local place thats really well known for its seafood and a 45 minute wait)!
Sunday we woke up and did it all over again! (The hotel swimming pool and beach part anyways.) We had a blast and got lots of sun! I didn't put sunblock on myself so I got burnt. Kaylea on the other hand didn't - which is a good thing! After a second trip to PJ's on Sunday we had Ice Cream at TJ's House of Sweets. Sadly enough we had to say our goodbyes. Kaylea was all smiles and surprisingly did not cry. (Not sure she understood she wouldn't see them for a while)
But after we drove off I told Kaylea we should say a prayer for Jake and Tyler and Corey and Robyn to be safe. So I prayed. Then Kaylea prayed out loud in a soft little voice (she has laryngitis from screaming so much in excitement while they were here). She said, "Dear God, pease help me be good and safe, and pease.... oh pease... keep Tyler an Jakey safe oh pease God. Tank you. Amen! Oh Pease!"
It was just the sweetest thing in the world if you could have only heard it. The whole weekend was so sweet... Jake and Kaylea were like two peas in a pod ... Kaylea said they were "best friends". And Tyler was quite the entertainer.... you could never be bored around them! Kaylea, Eric and I will really miss them.
