Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Just a few more pictures from our week in Naples…
I definitely think a change of scenery and some warm weather did us all good! But, as wonderful as it was to be down there (seriously, when are we going back?!), it was just as wonderful to get back home and see Robert! Nothing like a running, Spencey hug as a greeting!
See you tomorrow!
So, last Sunday, the kids and I hopped a plane down to Naples!
I flew by myself with all 3 kids and it really wasn’t bad at all. Robert was able to go to the gate with us in Birmingham and then we had a direct flight to Tampa where GJ was waiting to load us up into the car to drive to Naples! The boys got an A+ on the trip and Samantha snoozed through her first plane ride! Success!
Once we got to warm, sunshiny Naples, it didn’t take us long to get on our short sleeves and head outside!
We spent a full week down there and managed to fill our days with a good mix of plenty of fun and a whole lot of doing nothing! Perfect! We definitely hit up the beach…
but the boys honestly loved the pool more.
Both boys did a great job swimming. Spencer would stand on the steps and swim to me and then swim over to the ladder, climb out, and do it all again – about 50 times in a row! Maxwell is a bona fide swimmer now and I barely had to help him at all. Our second day out he even took some dive sticks and would dive down to the bottom of the pool to get them. I was SO proud of both of them!
Other exciting outings included a trip to throw money in the fountains…
Skillets for pancakes…
and a visit to the movies! We saw Paddington Bear and, I have to say, it was a really, really cute movie.
Mostly, we just enjoyed doing plenty of this…
and hanging with these people!
As Maxwell said to me one day at the pool, “The water is warm, the music is singing, and everything is just delightful!” I couldn’t have agreed more! Now, when are we going back?!
Happy Monday all! I was in Naples with the kids all last week – sunshine! swimming! warm weather! Florida pics coming soon but today, a little picture of sweet Samantha from Friday on her 1 month birthday…
Oh, that little dimple. I love her.
Yes, I’m doing the monthly photos like I did for the boys and will have those up this week too! Make it a great one!
My two boys…on the front porch…in their church clothes…cutest thing ever.
They had both had a bath that morning so Maxwell’s hair is still wet and slicked down…makes him look distinguished I think! 🙂
Then they held hands and I died…and kept clicking away as fast as possible.
Framer for sure.
Then they started being silly…
Then Spencey got pouty…
and then Maxwell helped his brother down the stairs…and I died again.
I love these boys so much.
So, so much.
Can’t wait to see little sister up there with them too! Have a great weekend!
This kid cracks. me. up.
His belly laughs are basically the best thing in the world. He’s tough as nails and rarely slows down. He loves to love on us by sticking his face – and his fingers! – as close to our face as possible. He can be really stubborn but then really easy going. Maxwell is is best friend and he is the ultimate copy cat. He talks non-stop. NON STOP. He’s every bit of 2 years old and I could eat him up.
Man, I love him.
