About two weeks ago, we spontaneously decided to take a trip to Florida! The idea began as an email conversation between Brandon and I about how we'd love to get away that weekend to somewhere warm.... That was then followed by an email to Kelly saying, "What are you guys up to this weekend?" That was Wednesday evening, and Friday morning we left! It's not often you can be that spontaneous with two little kids, so we were pretty proud of ourselves for doing this! We stayed for four nights and had a great time! What is even better is that we didn't have to pack our usual baby gear (stroller, high chair, etc.) because Kelly and Louis have everything....that is a definite plus! So, in addition to going somewhere warm, we go to visit with Kelly, Louis and our precious little niece Hannah (who we hadn't seen since August)! Grady, Landon and Hannah had a great time playing together as always.
On Saturday we went to the farmer's market where Louis was selling fruit for Schacht Groves, then went to a fun Carolina Club game-watching party (organized by Kelly and Louis), and then went to downtown Vero Beach for the Christmas parade. The floats were very impressive, and we had a great time!
Hannah loves walking around now!
This was after Grady had a blue lollipop!
On Sunday, Kelly and I took the kids to the art museum because they were having a special Christmas event. They all ended up getting to sit on Santa's lap, and Grady even had some time alone with Santa afterwards to tell him what he wanted (a watch and a "car racer").
Here we are taking a snack break while Grady did some arts and crafts!
Brandon spent Sunday and Monday helping Louis out in the packing house since this is their busiest time of year. If you have never tasted Schacht Groves fruit you definitely need to! They have the best oranges and grapefruit we've ever had (and we're not just saying that). In fact, Grady won't even eat oranges from the grocery store now because he says he doesn't like them. He says he only likes Uncle Louis' oranges. Visit their web site at http://www.schachtgroves.com/ if you would like to order some fruit! :)
This is an effort to contain Landon and Hannah in the packing house! Didn't last long!
Grady absolutely loved packing fruit!
Here he is monitoring the store....
