Last week I was in Florida to visit my Grandma and lots of aunts, cousins and friends. Someone get me a family tree!
Grandma greeted us at the airport and she loved my shirt "That's it! I'm going to Grandma's". Isnt that the truth!
Grandma has two adorable kitty cats and I had the best time chasing them around the house, pulling their hair and startling them with my high pitched squeals. Grandma told me to be gentle but....
How could I resist faces like these!
The next day Grandma had to work and I caught a cold so Aunt Cheryl took a day off of work to spend time with me. We had so much fun and she couldnt believe how big I got.
The next day I was still sick, but so were my cousins so we played together for a little bit. Christopher showed me how to play with lots of toys and I met my little cousin Dylan for the first time.
Then Mommy's dear friend Michelle came over and spoiled me with lots of love.
Mama and Papa took advantage of Grandma's offer to babysit me and went out a couple of times. Aliea and her boyfriend Victor took them to a super cozy and trendy restaurant in Delray Beach. They drank delicious martinis, ate a yummy dinner and enjoyed a nice evening out on the town.
One night, we took Grandma out for an early birthday dinner since we wont be in Florida to celebrate with her on her special day. I always have such a blast when Grandma is around. Hey, didn't anyone take a picture of the belly dancers?
After 4 days of very windy weather, the winds finally calmed enough for us to hit the beach. I loved the beach...lots of kids playing, birds flying, and waves trying to tickle my feet.
Papa even swam in the cool Atlantic, but Mama and I stayed dry.
I grew quite tired since I was way too excited to take an afternoon nap. Grandma snuggled with me until it was time to go home.
But on the way home, Mama asked Grandma to stop at Jackson's, a famous old-fashioned ice cream parlour that she hadnt been to since her 13th birthday. That was a loooooooooong time ago. So, to mark the occasion, I got my very first taste of ice cream. It gave me brain freeze and every time I tried some, I turned my head away. But I came back for more bites....
The next day, Mama organized a neighborhood reunion with her childhood friends. Despite the cool weather, it was a blast. Mama and Grandma enjoyed seeing everyone and I liked playing with all the kids.
Mama and Papa took turns walking around with me to keep me busy.
On our last day, we went to Mullins Park, where Mama used to go for cheerleading, and where I got to swing on a baby swing! I LOVED it!
Afterwards we met up with all of my aunts, uncles and cousins and had a nice hibachi dinner. My family is a lot of fun and everyone laughed a lot. I sure wish I could see everyone more often.
