Thanksgiving in Florida

This year for Thanksgiving, we packed up and headed south to Florida for the holiday.  It had been four years since we traveled for Thanksgiving and man is it a crazy holiday to travel for.  And we traveled on off days!

Logan, despite being mobile now as compared to our last flight, did great on the plane.  He is such a good traveler.  We arrived late afternoon on Sunday into Ft. Myers airport and made our way to Mackie's house.  Logan enjoyed playing on the golf course grass.

Uncle Bryan came into town for Sunday night and Uncle Kyle arrived back home after a long weekend trip.  On Monday, we traveled to a local park for some fun in the sun.  Logan had a great time on the swing and going down slides, but he loved the splash part of the park.  He even still loved it after it blasted him in the face.

Looks like a FL native in his sleeveless shirt and jean shorts!

After a nap, Logan got some more face time with water.  We took him into the pool.  Six months ago, he hated the pool!  But he loved it this time.  

On Tuesday, Mackie, Uncle Kyle, Logan, Daddy and Momma headed north to Ft. Myers Beach to see a sand sculpting competition.  It is unbelievable to see what some people can create out of sand.  Logan is a true New Englander and cannot stand the heat.  After turning red and just looking miserable for a while, he finally fell asleep in the stroller.   

Not asleep yet, but so miserable

After getting out of the sun, we headed for some ice cream, which Logan loved.

Later that afternoon we headed down to the beach for the sunset and to take some pictures of our family of three.  Logan really enjoyed playing in the sand and on the shore.

Mackie - what are you putting on my foot?!

Logan loved the water at the beach, too!

Tuesday night, Matt and I had our first date night since the weekend before Logan was born.  Mom babysat Logan while Matt and I treated ourselves to a nice dinner.  I love Logan, but it was so nice to go out on a date.  Matt and I almost did not know what to do with ourselves!

On Wednesday we visited with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa and readied ourselves for Thanksgiving the next day. 

On Thanksgiving, Logan played in the morning with Uncle Kyle and then Uncle Bryan and Dre showed up to play with also.  Most of the day was spent just hanging out with family until the big meal later in the afternoon.

And Mackie and her dog, Lexie!

Logan played peak-a-boo with that door for days

Anyone up for 18 holes?

Uncle Kyle is so mean

Logan was really tired by the time we got dinner on the table and a little hungry.  That was not a good combination.  He was not open to trying new food which was unfortunate, but I hope that Christmas meal will go over better.

Happy Thanksgiving.  Logan may look asleep, but he's just bored with his food.

We headed back home on Friday and Logan was once again a super star on the plane.  Overall, we had such a great time being able to spend the holiday with family.
