Team Zahrte: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to FL We Go (Part 1)

Earlier this week, we got home from a two-week vacation in FL. It was bliss. This trip to FL was much like our previous four, except this time we brought along another little friend with us. The boys and I were able to fly with Papa and Gaga. There is no WAY I could have done it alone. Seriously, who would have helped me schlep all of our stuff?!?

The boys were great on the plane. Caden watched movies,

and Asher did his thing too

I won't lie, it wasn't all roses. We didn't leave CO until 4:30pm (6:30pm FL time), so we didn't arrive in FL until 10:30pm. Asher slept on the plane, but CP did not. By the time we arrived he was DONE (as were the rest of us!). Another two hours to get our car, get to the house, etc. I hate to admit that it was 1:00am FL time before I got those babies in bed.

Once we recovered from our trip, we did some serious swimming,

playing,

hanging out,

jumping,

Yep, I know Asher's jumper is pink. His jumper was too big to take and Target only had pink ones in stock. I decided it wasn't worth a trip to another, way far away Target to get the blue one. He obviously doesn't care!

and just being cute.

For the first time, Caden slept in a big boy bed at Papa and Gaga's house. We used a pool noodle under the fitted sheet so he wouldn't roll out (and put pillows on the floor, just in case) and he slept in his own "cool room" all by himself!

We also got a chance to see our newly-transplanted-to-the-sunshine-state-friends, the Jessens. They live in Jacksonville, but were in Orlando one of the days we were. Chick-Fil-A wasn't an ideal place to hang out for two hours, but we all had a great time - especially these cuties!

After being in Weeki Wachee for a few days, we drove over to Orlando for a week. We were able to trade our time share for one near Mimi and the rest of our family. JZ flew into Orlando a few days after we arrived and was able to spend the rest of the trip with us!

Our resort wasn't especially nice, but it did have an awesome pool! Caden practiced his swimming and jumping...
