Family Vacation in Florida, June 2013

We went to Florida with our family friends the Karsanacs and the Carrs. We had a blast playing in the sand. I am a Nazi when it comes to the beach, so our family was on the sand as much as possible.

 The boys had Ben to play with who is about 9 months older than Chase. They laughed as they chased the waves, threw sand in the air and laid prone in the surf.
 Father's day fell within the week so we snuck away to give our gifts to Daddy...Ben didn't seem to mind.  He joined us for the event!

The boys love to make cards for people and we love to receive these precious cards too!
 There was plenty of trips to the ice cream store this week. Chase found his new favorite flavor- bubble gum!
 Jason took Kaleb for a special Father-Son breakfast one morning and Kaleb ordered the kids pancake...haha
 We had lots of good breakfast food. This is the vacation that I started drinking coffee everyday. Before this it bothered my stomach and I could only drink it on the weekends. Now I have to have my daily coffee!
 DATE NIGHT! One of the best advantages to vacationing with friends is having friends to hang out with after the kids go to bed and date night! We each took a night to go out. We had dinner at a seafood place and then went to a pavilion with a live band playing.  I must say that living in Nashville has spoiled us in the fact that anywhere you go in Nashville, you are going to have a good band to listen to...not the same in florida but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.
We rented a paddle board for the day which gave us all a good workout, even the kids.

 Here's an icecream picture on Andrew and Ulla's date night. Both Melanie and Ulla were very pregnant this week, so they were pretty tired most of the time.
 More sand fun...ahhhh, can't get enough!!

Soon after our vacation Chase was potty trained. He was ready before but we wanted to get through this long road trip without having to stop every 30 min for Chase. He was really easy to potty train and since then seems to have a bladder of steel!
