On Tuesday, April 5th, Lindsay packed up the boys (and all their accompanying stuff) and flew to Orlando, Florida, by herself! What an adventure! We knew Graham to be a good flier from previous trips to St. John's and Boston. Fletcher, it turns out, is also a great traveler!! He slept most of the way (except when he was eating - surprise, surprise!).
MumMum met us at the Gate which was very helpful because Orlando is a big airport. We met Grandpa outside of security, got the bags, got the two car seats into the car with their respective babies and somehow managed to get the suitcases, carry-ons, and the stroller into the car as well! It was an Impala so the trunk was deep (thankfully) but it was a tight squeeze.
We got settled in, went to the grocery store and hung out in MumMum's and Grandpa's timeshare that first night.
Thursday morning, we packed up again and drove to Fort Pierce, Florida to visit with Nono and GDad MacGregor. After a wonderful lunch at the Tiki Bar, we took Graham down to the beach. Fletcher and Nono hung out at the condo. Graham got to the beach and as you can see had the time of his young life!
Yummy chicken fingers!
Hanging with Nono.
So strong!
Footprints.
After some very HARD playing in the water, sand and fresh air, we quickly changed and went to Mangrove Mattie's restaurant for a lovely seafood dinner. Grandpa Vican especially liked the coconut shrimp Nono recommended. Trying to avoid a meltdown in the restaurant by Graham, we hit the road only to have him stay awake the entire drive back to Orlando....and meltdown when we reached the condo. He didn't fall asleep until 10:30pm. Mama was exhausted!! Thankfully, Mumum took over Fletcher duty until Mama could gather herself.
Friday, we hit the pool! And Graham actually decided to take a nap on Friday! YAY!
Graham the little water bug!
Fletcher is not sure about the pool yet.
Sacked out!
Oh boy!
Bedtime story with Grandpa.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday we hit the pool too, along with the Outlets and Downtown Disney. The weather was beautiful the entire trip with temperatures in the 90s. So much fun!!
This is Fletcher's favorite activity.
Swimming with MumMum.
Splish-Splash!
Tummy-time!
Snack time with Grandpa.
Oh boy! Look Grandpa - it's that fan again!
Fletcher needs another nap...
So tired!!
MumMum, I'm not sure the water will help me nap.
Snuggly babies!
Looks like the boys had a blast. Love the pics of Graham at the beach! And Fletcher is so adorably cheeky. Jus and I are going to fight over who gets to snuggle him next week. Your brother is a well known baby hog!
