Joelys Birthday Weekend April 11

HOMELEAVE...this is the best time of the month because Greg doesn't have to work Wednesday-Saturday. So although the kids still had school, we decided to take them out and take a trip to Florida. We had the car all packed and ready to go and left straight from school...of course stopping at our favorite ice cream store Bruster's (lucky for Jordan she didn't have to wear her pj's today to get free icecream). We got to the Huffman's house at 11pm.

The next morning we packed a lunch and drove to New Symrna Beach. We parked our car right on the beach and unloaded. The water was cold, but the kids didn't care, they jumped right it even Greg got in. I just took lots of pics then sat out and read my book. Unfortunately we all got alittle sun burnt. That night Melody had made us dinner and we hung out at her house. Mel and I went to pick up Danielle Muhlenbeck at the airport at 11pm. She flew in for Morgans birthday.

Day two we got up really early and went to Animal Kingdom. Woooo hooooo...we had 5 free tickets. We all made blankets and donated them to the Linus foundation to give to sick kids in the hospital..We also got a 200 dollar gift card to spend at the park when we opened up a disney account so the day was totally free. Brandon and Peytons favorite thing there was the Mt Everest rollercoaster. Jordan said her favorite thing was the safari. We stayed till 30 mins before the park closed.


Day 3 The Huffmans took us, Danielle, Denise, and Julie on the boat. The kids rode the tube pretty much the entire day. I even got on..which suprised me because their could be alligators in the water. It was such a beautiful day and it was so nice just to hang out with everyone. That night we went the the comedy club sax where Melody surprised Morgan...she had the actors do a skit called slice of life...all about Morgan. It was so funny!! Morgan is turning 16 this month. That night Melody and Danielle bought me a cake and sang happy birthday to me. I didn't realize it, but last year I spent my birthday at Melodys also...so we decided to make it a yearly thing :)
