~alright so i know this is a tad delayed but better late than never. So jen chuck and the kids came down to visit and we had an awesome time. the kids being here was great, i loved waking to hang out with them. the week they were here it seemed very hectic, due to having 6 ppl in a 4 person condo but we still had a great time. we started off by doing some things around here like going to the pool and going fishing over at ernie's place. the kids loved the pool, especially lex and asked every day if they could go swimming. lex also killed it in fishing over at ernie's and with a little help from dad she caught upwards of 20 fish (no lie). Sam had a more frustrating time but i still think she enjoyed it. dani and i got our founders park membership cards while they were down so we took everyone over to the pool at founders park one afternoon. the kids loved that pool too. they have a mini water park, water slide, and diving boards so the kids really enjoyed that. the other local thing we did around here was visiting anne's beach again. i thought sam would have a blast snorkeling around in the water finding things. and i was right, sam got really into the exploring and even took lex out with her and they ventured out into the water. chuck enjoyed seeing them get along like sisters. i personally was so excited to have jen and the kids down because it was great to see jen doing things with the kids she herself was never able to do. things her mom never had the heart or head to get them involved in. jen and chuck deserve a lot of credit for doing their best to make their kids lives meaningful. but with that said it was just great to see everyone laugh, smile and having a good time. now for the awesome part....
-So while they were down they wanted to visit key west, but there were too many of us to fit all in 1 car. and no one really wanted to commit on being the designated driver lol. so jen and chuck pleasantly/amazingly decided on getting cab to take us to key west. that way we could all fit and not have to worry about drinking and driving. well turns out the cabs were so expensive and rather than shell out that money for a cab, they decided on getting a limo. which by all accounts was the best idea. the limo really made the trip awesome. it came stocked with some adult beverages as well as soda and water. we were able to have more than a few drinks before we even got to key west. key west was really neat as well. the atmosphere is so upbeat and lively. plus being able to walk around with drinks in hand from store to store didnt hurt the situation either. from the get go chuck wanted to stop at sloppy joes restaurant, so that is where we ended our trip. we did get a chance to stop at guy harvey's and margaritaville, but ended with dinner at sloppy joe's. the trip was awesome and the week great. but no matter how much fun we have or what we do, we can never forget how we got here. and for that i give a thanks to the grandparents and our parents. i know grandmom was looking down with a big smile on her face seeing all of us together.
