FLORIDA or BUST......

Brad and Vanessa have had a trip planned to Florida to visit
Viviani for months now. Brad was in Philly on business and
they decided he would fly to Tampa and Vanessa and the girls
would meet him there. Knowing how daunting it is to get ready
for a long trip with small children, I snatched Gabi and Bella from
their Mom and gave her a few hours of free time to try to get
some things done. After a trip to WalMart to load up on little
things to entertain them on the long plane ride, we met up with the
Gregory clan for a fun afternoon of lunch at the park.

Who knew these three would arrive in
coordinating outfits? Adorable, aren't they?

Sweet girlies enjoying climbing and animal crackers!

Bella was cracking us up with her "shades". Vanessa
got them for the trip and she refused to take them off...
ALL DAY!

Here is sweet Greta being consoled by Mommy after
Bella uncharacteristically bit her on her finger.
(You never know what might prompt such a response!)
So sad....those crocodile tears!

Jude and Gabi just love each other! They play together
like champs and let's face it...Jude is a little outnumbered
but he takes it in stride.

Adorable Greta doesn't let a little thing
like "low muscle tone" slow her down!

Kennan giving Gabi a little snuggle..

These two were making their own May Pole! We stopped
for a frozen yogurt before I returned them to their Mommy.
Then I picked them up today to deliver them to the airport for
the very long flight to Tampa.

Vanessa is one brave girl...two toddlers, one checked bag
and two checked car seats, a double stroller, two rather large
carry-on bags, one small back pack, two pillows,
the girl's blankies and their two dollies!

Vanessa said to me as I helped her put the last bag on the stroller,
"I guess you are leaving".
This was the parting scene. And she was even
smiling. This girl deserves a vacation!!

Hero of the day....Vanessa!

Sure hope she arrives okay...she has a 2 hr. lay over
in Dallas. YIKES!!
