SPRING BREAK Florida

We were definitely the parents in the minority not allowing our daughter to head to Mexico for Spring Break.  So instead, she found the only other friend (Matti - who became Andrew's new best friend) who had such horrid parents as us and we all headed to Longboat Key Florida for a much needed bit of warm weather.  Problem was, for the first few days of the trip St. Louis had higher temps than sunny Florida - which was rainy and windy for the start of the trip.  

Things worked out just fine though.  Four days in the hot, Florida sun got the girls their much desired TANS



                                                             JOLLY COUSIN TIME
                                                    (Caroline & Andrew livin' the life)



                                                             COUPLE TIME


                                                            


                                                                    DAD TIME


                                              
                                           AQUARIUM TIME (evil sharks in background)
                



BEN TIME


                                                       TODD WITHOUT HIS I-PHONE


Even though "College Boy" couldn't make it, it was fun to have most of us together for an entire week.

You all are just beautiful. I'm jealous of beach time [and flat tummies] and family time without electronic devices! Happy you got to go!

Any vacation that includes Jolly's sounds like a good time! And seriously, in that first picture I am staring and staring to figure out who it is (a friend? or just a cousin that is so grown up I don't recognize...Julie?...you non-aging Jolly's with identical offspring to your own youth make it quite difficult!)
