Florida!!

Seth and I (Esther) were able to start out our new year with a Awesome trip together. Having brother/sister time to talk and laugh was so much fun! We were able to travel to several states that neither of us had been through before which was exciting. The main purpose of going was to visit our Uncle, Aunt and two cousins, who live in Florida.

Traveling together.

Alabama and Louisiana terrain is gorgeous.

::Fun Tunnels::

On Friday we went with our Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dan to a beautiful park. After the Park they gave a us a royal tour of Ocala. We ended our tour in a small Italian shop and we enjoyed eating yummy canolies!!

The park was full of flowers and shrubs and cool fountains!

After site-seeing in the big City we traveled to the beach and enjoyed watching the sunset.
With the temperatures mid to high 80's, they felt chilly and were 'bundled up' in long sleeves!! Coming from Kansas where the high was around 23 degrees, we were loving every minute of the warm air!!

Taking in the quiet, still moments.

The beautiful Sunset.

Fun cousin time!!

Early Saturday morning Jessica, Bethany, Seth and I climbed into the car and headed to Orlando. We spent the morning and most afternoon in a fun place; the Wonder House!! So many things to see and do there!!

Seth trying the astronaut suit! Pretty serious looking :)

We all tried out the Bed of Nails!!
After a morning of fun we went to Friendlies for Root-Beer floats....Mmmmmm!!

On Sunday we had to head back home-- but we had a wonderful trip full of great memories!! We were so glad to see them all again!
Thanks so much for having us guys!!
