As I mentioned, we just got back from an extended stay in Naples! I have over 250 pics to get through – so might as well start at the beginning! We left Robert on Father’s Day but did celebrate a little before we jetted off! Special thanks to Susan for organizing some special gifts!

For the first time, I took the kids on Delta through Atlanta so we could fly directly into Ft. Meyers. I’ve always flown direct to Tampa on Southwest on our previous trips, but that means a 3 hour drive to Naples once we land…not to mention the 3 hours GJ had already driven to pick us up! We were ready to go…

and gave final Father’s Day hugs to Robert…

and were off! The kids did great on the flights.

We made our way through the Atlanta airport with no problems and the kids even got a Happy Meal – I think Spencer and Samantha’s first! ha!

Unfortunately, our flight attendants were missing and it delayed us about an hour and a half but we made it to Ft. Meyers eventually…and were glad to be there with only a short drive to Naples! It didn’t take the kids long to get in the pool!!

We also got in a few games on pinball!! Look at these pinball wizards!

A good first day of a long stay!

Another day, another trip to the beach!

Of course, there’s always a football around!

Maxwell has no issue asking anyone on the beach if he can join into their football game!

3 kids happy as they can be!

We love Naples!

Of course we also made it to the beach while down in Naples!

The water was still a little chilly so we didn’t do much swimming but that didn’t bother the kids one bit. They’d rather play in the sand anyway!

This made me laugh…as if fair skinned Spencer EVER needs to lay directly in the sun! ha! He’s got a bright future full of swim shirts and beach umbrellas! 🙂

My beach babies!

While the water was chilly, that didn’t stop Samantha from wading out farther than she needed to go. I kept telling her she was getting too far and she needed to come back. She wouldn’t listen. “I’m fine!”

Well, she took one more step and wasn’t fine and I had to dash out there in my cover up to pull her up and out of the water. Not fun. I was thankful to get back home and swim in the hot tub again where her toes can touch the bottom!

Beach babies out in the sun!
