After a week of fun and adventure we wrapped up a stay in our favorite place…
and said our goodbyes…
and headed back to Birmingham…
only to land and find out school was delayed 3 days! We could have stayed! Oh well…
until next time Naples!
Naples Adventures
We went on a few more adventures than usual in Naples this trip! Fun all around! The boys went fishing…
Samantha and Robert went on a wave runner…
and the kids and I went parasailing!! Woohoo!
Robert opted out which meant I got to go twice since the two boys weren’t heavy enough on their own. There was a big rock paper scissors battle for which boy got to go twice and Spencer won out. That ended up being the best thing though – once Maxwell got up he decided once was enough! It was really, really cool but it definitely took your breath away at first when you went up. We were high!!
Dip!
Up we go with Maxwell!
Maxwell had time to check his watch while sailing through the sky! ha!
While Samantha waited in the boat, she got to be captain!
Down we go…
and dip!
So great that the kids are getting old enough to enjoy a little more adventure on our trips!!
Naples
After a great Christmas and a trip to Atlanta, we packed up and hopped a plane down to Naples! Woohoo!
We were so happy to see GJ and Daddo and celebrate some more Christmas! Including new iPads for the kids!!
We then got down to the business of enjoying Naples!
We even had a return visit from our gator…
and made friends with two turtles on the beach!
Off to the beach!
Lots of sand castles!
Lunch volcanoes…
and dinner out!
Roll Tide! SEC Championship!
Sing 2! So good!
Ice cream!
and CCCs of course!
Fireworks for 2022!
More adventures to come!
Falcons
We gave the kids tickets to the Falcons game the day after Christmas so we were up and out the door early on the 26th to drive to Atlanta! It was a beautiful day for some football and they had the dome open!
Our seats were great and the Falcons actually brought home a win! Rise Up!
A fun after Christmas treat!
Christmas Day
We had the Brown family over for Christmas day lunch and it was a great afternoon all around! My crew begrudgingly cleaned up their Santa haul and we were ready for company!
Samantha made place cards! 🙂
Self timer family selfie!
This is more like it!
All the cousins had fun together!
After our Christmas for 5 last year, it sure was nice to have a house full of family to celebrate the day!
Merry Christmas!
