Florida Beach Trip 2015

In October our school had a 2 week fall break so we took a week of it and went to the beach in Florida.  We found a great  deal on a timeshare though a military site so we had a great place to stay all week. Here are the kids ready to hit the pool on the 1st day.

The day after we got there we found out that the nearby beach town was having a pirate festival.  Guess who was excited!?
Here is one of the pirate ships involved in the festival and we ended up going on an evening pirate cruise a few days later on this boat.
The festival had lots of fun things to do....we had a pirate scavenger hunt that the kids were enjoying.
They even had a pirate battle and it was LOUD!


After the festival we spent some time on the beach.  It was AWESOME!


This little guy is getting to be not so little anymore!

Ava was enjoying beach time too!

Over the next couple of days we checked out different beaches and this place was a favorite.  It was Captivia Island and we had the best meal to live music.  It was a perfect afternoon!

Another highlight was the pirate ship cruise. They had face painting and fun games.  It was perfect because we were out at sunset and it was beautiful!

By far one of the best surprises of the trip was this. We didn't tell the kids where we going and just showed up one morning here. It was soooo fun. The kids were incredibly excited and it was a really fun time.
Another surprise was we met up with some friends from Pinehurst. It was a fun treat and the girls loved playing with Mia (in the back).

The girls really like the "friend" lego sets and they had a really fun performance with the characters.

Isaac loved everything and HAD to get a picture with his matching Darth Vadar shirt. These lego statues are pretty amazing!

We spent 2 days at Lego Land and it was a great way to complete out trip. Isaac really loved the hotel and this is the picture outside of it...we even ate there after the park closed on our last day. Isaac really wants to go back there and stay....he now has a dream of owning a Lego Land hotel at the beach. He said we can come stay anytime we want. :)
Such a great Florida vacation!!
