Cocoa Beach

Ethan on the plane 6:45am bright eyed & bushy tailed
Steve does his best to entertain Mia....she was quite squirmy

Waiting for us to put their seats in the car, Ethan zonks out...we must have been too exciting!

Well we made it to Cocoa Beach at lunchtime today. We didn't have as much luggage as we thought we would.....Steve took control of the packing and we ended up with 5 checked bags and 2 carry ons. Not too bad considering two of the checked bags were care seats! (We had more luggage when we went to pick up Mia) All went fairly well considering Mia got up at 3:30 am and never went back to sleep until we were in the air. Ethan was so excited when Amy went to wake him up. When we arrived in Orlando we had to pick up our car. Ethan fell asleep in the stroller while we tried to put the car seats in the rental car. We were able to put both car seats in the car in under 5 minutes....a new record for us!!! Ethan of course is having a ball swimming in the pool. He even ventured out into the surf with Grammy & Pa....a HUGE step from last year where he only stood on the sand for 2 minutes before he was done with that. Mia has turned out to be a little fish and is not afraid of anything. Steve holds her back while she floats in the pool. She also loves to get her face wet. By the end of the week I think we may come home with two fish rather than 2 kids:)
