Winter 2020

Colin's mini snowman!

Pinewood Derby time.  We had some cool looking cars but not the fastest this year


Happy first birthday Jett!  She has grown into her fluff quite nicely.

Kayla and her friend built a catapult for school.  That inspired Jordan to build one too.


Ash having fun at the dog park.  She sure loves running and digging in the snow



Girl scout cookie time

Colin helping burn a brush pile

Goofball kids!



Ah, that's better.  Just trying to get a decent pic showing that for the moment, these two have lost the same amount of teeth (8!) even though they are 2.5 years apart.

Colin wasn't feeling well for a day so Ash took care of him at Jordan's work

Kayla's orchestra concert

Florida 2020

First thing we did when we got to the condo was take the kids swimming of course!

Since we went down on January 3rd, Christmas lights were still up.  We visited a house that really goes all out for the holidays.

Finished a puzzle during a rainy day

On our way to Disney, we stopped at the Apollo power plant to look at the manatees and pet stingrays.  Also saw jumping sharks and rays too!

Made it to our hotel!  The kids swam until The Lion King started, then Colin went with Jordan and Grandma on the monorail.  Kayla and I hung out poolside watching the movie.


Day 1 - Magic Kingdom

Colin has some mad shooting skills.  His score couldn't go any higher on the Buzz Lightyear ride!


Saying hi to Stitch again since we met him several years ago when we were first here

Uh oh,  I can't imagine what they did to get jailed!

The kids and I somehow were picked for parts at Belle's castle.  I was a guard, Colin was Maurice, and Kayla was a portrait.



The castle was so pretty all lit up with icicles.

Day 2 - Animal Kingdom - Not as many pics but just as fun.  Plus got to ride the new Avatar and Yeti rides!


Canoeing on the Myakka




Recreating photos from past Florida vacations at the bumpy bumpy slide park




Manasota Beach



Mini golfing with Papa and an alligator!

Jordan and I took a side trip to the Everglades again.  We just got the kids Messenger on their phones so they could stay in touch and not miss us as much which is why we have so many photos of us!

Lunch in Everglades City

Hiking the Gator Hook Trail


Next day was a slough slog in the middle of the glades

The kids had fun goofing around at the restaurant when we got back.  The it was an early flight home the next day!
