Florida Trip
Day Five

Not a lot of pictures today. We just hung around the house. We were pooped!
It's been non-stop action around here.
Also, Abby had a low fever (99.5) and was telling me that her throat hurt.
Her little cousin has a sore throat so I am wasn't sure if she really felt that way or heard her Auntie Dink talking about it. But you can't argue with a fever.
So, I gave her some Tylenol and we hung out.

Worth it.
Totally.
We just chilled. The Four of Us.
Enjoyed our little Family Unit.

And in the later half of the day, we took our bathing suits off and put some clothes on.
We saw a fabulous, Florida-style t rain storm followed by a beautiful rainbow.
And we headed out to dinner with the fam.
My sister and bro-in-law treated, which was awesome - THANK YOU!
And we kept it simple by going to Red Lobster.
The thing is, there is nothing "touristy" about Bradenton, FL -
to get a good, local joint would require a half hour in the car.
We just didn't have that tonight.
So, we hit the Lobstah. Which was fun, cuz we don't go to RL at home.
And you can't beat those biscuits.



Pre-Dinner Handsome-ness.


My sweet girl packed up some toys in her backpack for her & Wywy
in case they got bored at the restaurant.


The rainbow that Abby spotted. It really was gorgeous.


The post-afternoon-storm sky.
If you've ever been to Florida then you know that the weather is
"hot with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon."


How freaking gorgeous is my nephew?



Last time we went to dinner Abby sat amidst her big cousins
and only after we got home did she tell us that she wanted to be closer to mommy and daddy. Our hearts broke.
So, this time, I sat next to her and Jay sat right across from us, next to Wyatt.
When I tucked her in, she said "you sat next to me at dinner, Mama. I'm glad."
Kids really break your heart.
And warm it.
Often at the same time.

I just told Chris the same - gotta love Florida storms. Especially nice when you are in Disney World, you are steamy hot and need a quick cool off in the afternoon. Then it's gone. Great, isn't it? The rainbow is awesome!!! Was it that bright and colorful - WOW!

You guys LOOK rested and that's saying a lot coming from someone who doesn't know you really.

Great pic of that rainbow!

Glad you guys got to enjoy a little quiet time amidst all the action.

How sweet of Abby to say she was glad you sat next to her? She's such a little doll, and she sure does love you guys like crazy.
