Again, we had a great time in Naples.

I loved going up to Waterside for coffee, shopping and checking out the waterfalls.

We rode bikes…and Spencer even got in on the action!

Maxwell learned how to drive the race car all by himself and then Spencer got to take it for a spin too…

ha!  I love that picture!

Maxwell also learned how to pedal his bike!  big stuff!

But, the best part of the trip was getting to hang with my boys…

and for the boys to get to hang with these awesome people.

Can’t wait for the next trip!

We headed down to Naples for a little Independence Day vacation and, man, we had a good time!  As I mentioned earlier, Alabama was a wash-out the whole time we were gone so we’re so glad we got to escape the rain and soak up some FL sunshine!

We flew down on Wednesday the 3rd and the flight was great.  Thursday morning we took advantage of the pretty weather and headed to the beach!

Maxwell was sure to take proper hand wear to dig in the sand!  ha!

Friday morning, we once again got lucky with the weather and Robert and I played some golf.  And when I say I played, I mean I drove the cart and yelled “get in the hole!” after each of Robert’s putts.

I think it helped.  Robert disagreed.

Saturday morning we headed back to the beach where Maxwell really got into digging and swimming!  so fun!

King of the hill!

and just a little proof that I was there too!  🙂

When we weren’t out and about, Maxwell and Spencer had a blast playing at home, especially since GJ and Daddo had all sorts of new toys for them.  Yeah, these boys aren’t spoiled at all!

A new trampoline…

some awesome (and slightly dangerous) frisbees…

and new trucks!!  Including an awesome cement mixer.  Maxwell and GJ mixed up some Cheerios cement and made a road…smooth,no bumps!

Yes sir, boss!

Spencer perfected his crawling while we were down there.  As a result, we got to hear Maxwell yell “no no no, ya-ya!” many times as Spencer crawled straight for Maxwell’s toys.  Somebody is gonna get a big lesson in sharing soon!

Some other funny things…

Spencer tried out some knee pads on the rough floors…

Maxwell discovered the joys of vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s syrup!

and he also discovered the joys of his brother’s jumperoo!  ha!

It really was such a fun trip.  I’ve got a few more pictures to share but I’ll wait until tomorrow.  See you then!
