Florida summary

so i sort of forgot to blog about our daily adventures in Florida...and Katie took most of the pictures, so i don't have a lot of them to share. but- i do have a lot of memories from our trip. some of the highlights i will note here.

1. Chris and our e-tour - yeah, it blow and was a waste of our time...but we laughed a lot of how stupid he was. and if not for the e-tour we wouldn't have had such a cheap trip.

2. joey our waiter at the rain forest cafe. he was super fun

3. islands of adventure (the theme park). it was awesome. a little on the windy and cold side, but still very fun. the roller coaster rides there were amazing. and some how Shelby worked her magic and got us to the front of a very long line. she seems to have her ways.....and the water ride at island of adventure- we decided to go on that last so we didn't freeze all day long. it was hilarious...and super fun- and we got totally drenched.

4. watching the girls pick grapefruit off the tree in my friend Kara back yard. it's like they never seen a grapfruit tree before.

5. Shelby jumping into the back portion of her car just to save us $3.00 at the beach.

6. the animal wildlife nature drive. we sow lots of birds....and made up lots of imaginary animals to make it more interesting. and we were greeted by a very nice old man with out his teeth that gave us candy, and he had a super funny southern accent.

7. clearwater beach- laying in the hot sand, and swimming in the cold ocean water. it was the perfect day! loved that day. it might be my favorite day!

8. dressing up all fancy and going out to a fun Greek restaurant. (cant remember the name of it).

9. the cockroach in the bathroom. so funny!

10. watching the tar-heels win the NCAA championship game. (yeah Tyler!)

11. sitting in a lawn chair and reading all day on Saturday...

12. Carrabba's bread! (if you are ever in Clairmont Florida, you need to go to that restaurant...fantastic)

13. Nicki tackling the waves for the first time ever. super fun- she loved it. and Hannah losing half her top for a split second in the waves- also super funny.

14. getting tan. and we all burned the tops of our feet the first day at the beach, so the second day we had to cover them up with sand so they didn't burn more!

15. laughing my head off at all the funny things said and done. had a blast!
