Ft. Lauderdale for New Year's!



On Dec. 26th we flew to Ft. Lauderdale to spend the week with my family. Who was there might you ask?...Daddy, Mai, Sam, Matt, Jason, Jen, Gavin, Michelle, Dan, Patrick, Liz, and Audrey! We had a fun filled week in the sun! The weather was in the upper 70's to low 80's. It was MARVELOUS!!

Here are the HiGhLiGhTs: We rode on the air-boats in the Everglades and saw 4 alligators. We took a tour on the coast to see all the huge mansions. One word...Madden! Two words...Guitar Hero! Three words...games, games, games! Four words...golfing and spa treatments! One day we drove to South Beach and had great sea food and played in the ocean (which wasn't cold at all but apparently too cold for Gavin!) Jason and I were so excited to take Gavin to the ocean for the first time. Even though we live in Arizona (in the land of pools) Gavin has only experienced water during bath time. (which he LOVES!) The second I dipped Gavin's toes in the water he started whining. He didn't like it at all! We tried a few more times to get his feet wet but he kept crying. The funniest part was that he would even moan and whine when he saw the waves coming even though he wasn't in the water! Silly boy! The warm swimming pool was a different matter. Gavin did whine initially until he realized the water was warm and then he LOVED kicking and splashing in the pool! He was SO CUTE!!





Thanks Mom and Dad for a fun and memorable week in Ft. Lauderdale! We had a BLAST!!
