Vacation!!!

We went to Clearwater Beach for our first big vacation with all the kids. We stayed 2 weeks and had so much fun. The weather was perfect, and everyone stayed healthy. I will be posting photos over the next few days to highlight the time a bit. I took so many pictures that I will try to narrow them down here a little. When we walked off the plane into the Tampa airport Cody immediately said as he glanced around, “I like Florida so much better!” Really? How can one tell just from the airport, but, apparently, Cody just had a feelin’. (smile) We got there at night and had to stop and eat and get straight to the rental house. We ate at ChickFilA, and when the male employee greeted us Cody told him, “I like Florida! And I’m so glad I can speak English!” This was so cute. I think he thought we traveled to another country or something. He was so happy to be there. The funny thing was Anna couldn’t seem to get her bearings either, but the exact opposite. She kept asking if every Walmart or grocery we planned to go to was “the one by our house.” Ha! Here are a few pictures of us at the St. Louis airport waiting to board the plane and a few photos of the beach house we rented during our stay at Reddington Shores.
