Visitors from the North

My parents are in India for 2 weeks so Tonya, Jenna, and Elise came to visit us for a week. It is hard to believe it is over already. Here are some snapshots of our VERY fun week together. Mya sobbed for about 10min after we dropped them off at the airport. When we got home all the power was off so Mya and I took full advantage of it and took a 4 1/2 hour nap:)

We started the week off at Anna Maria Island.




It was very hot so we decided ice cream was a must on the way home.

Friday morning we headed off to downtown disney. We had quite a fun time trying on all kinds of hats. Mya wanted nothing to do with having a hat on so a bribe for the picture worked:)

Of course we had to see Cinderella.


After Disney we went to the AVEDA school where Elise got a pedicure

and Tonya and Jenna got manicures.

Saturday we headed out to the Zoo. When we left the thermometer in the truck (which was parked in the shade) was 101.

Jenna got a bird to eat off her stick.

Hanging with the bats:)

Elise feeding the giraff

Sunday after church we ate at Beef O Brady's

Of course nothing beats a game of Liver Pool Rummy and cookies on a Sunday afternoon:)

Monday we headed off to the outlet malls.

Jenna and Elise during a Starbucks break...you'll have to ask Tonya about my hormonal pregnancy takeover:)

Tonya shopped till she dropped

We wore Mya out!

don't you often sunbathe in the mall parking lot?

Elise wanted to bake something so we made Derek's favorite dessert...apple crisp

While at the outlet mall we found some scones and Lemon curd don't be fooled by the name it was delicous! We enjoyed them for breakfast the next 2 mornings:)

Tuesday we picked up Salina and thought we would try a new beach. If you ever think about going to Picnic Island Park DON'T! You litterally drive through an industrial park to get to it and the water I was told was slimy.

We ended up going back to swim in our pool (after a SONIC break) and then over to Uncle Phil and Aunt Pam's for a yummy cookout.

We finished off the week with some sparklers.
