Florida Vacation-Day 5, 6, and 7

This was really posted Thursday July 16, 2009 ;)
Monday of our vacation was a work day. Jared and Mikey got up early and began doing the small jobs that needed to be done and then moved on to some bigger ones. They worked hard all morning and then went for a swim in the afternoon. Jared was kind enough to take Cayden into the pool with him. Then we went to Arizona Pizza for dinner. It was a cute restaurant and the food was yummy. After dinner we headed back to the house for a movie. We let Granddaddy choose and he chose an old Clint Eastwood western, Pale Rider. Its a pretty good movie but once again I was so tired I fell asleep. ;)

His dives gradually got better.
Cayden had so much fun with the tubes!

Tuesday was spent with a little work but mostly lounging. In fact Jared and Cayden took a 3 hour nap!!! What a way to spend your last full day in Florida huh? This was the day Jared decided to try out some new facial hair.

This is what he decided to stick with.

Later that evening my cousin Brian and his new wife came over for dinner. It was so fun to see them. After they took off we hung out and waited until 11:00 and then headed out to the movie theater. Me, Jared, Mikey, and Tim went to the 12:01 showing of Harry Potter. We didn't buy tickets early so we hoped that there would still be some when we got to the theater. Sure enough we walked right up to the ticket booth and bought our tickets with no problem. Then the hard part came. We had to wait in a line outside! It was so hot and we waited outside for 40 minutes before they let us in. Their system to keep things under control with little chaos failed. It was the stupidest set up I have ever seen. So after all the waiting we FINALLY got in and found good seats to watch the movie. We enjoyed the movie but all agreed that they left out WAY to much info from the book. I thought it was a great movie but I really was sad that so much was lost. So now I want to go and read the book again. We got home at about 3:15 am. When 8:00 am rolled around and Cayden was ready to get up I decided that midnight movies aren't really my thing anymore. ;)

Taking a 3 hour nap!

Yesterday, Wednesday, we were all EXHAUSTED! Jared got up with Cayden and played with him for a bit. Cayden came in to wake me up and then ran off again. Jared came and crawled back into bed. I wanted bagels for breakfast so mom was kind enough to go get some from Panera. Cayden wanted to go with her so I quickly got back into bed to sleep as much as I could. Mom returned and Jared decided he needed more sleep but I was ready to eat! They were such yummy bagels. After breakfast and some chatting Jared got up again and headed out to check out the work he did the day before. It looked great, of course, and after a little more touching up it looked perfect. When Jared was done we got ready and went to check out my cousins new house. He has a huge pit bull that Cayden was terrified of. I felt bad because he was shaking he was so scared. Kerry was kind enough to put the dog outside and then Cayden warmed up to him, but only because there was glass between them. Then it was time to head back so Jared could pack and get ready to go home. But not before one last swim in the pool. Cayden has had so much fun swimming in the pool with his daddy. 5:30 rolled around and it was time to head out to the airport. We walked Jared to security and hugged and kissed him goodbye. Cayden watched as Jared walked away. He waved and kept saying "Bye bye daddy, I love you." It broke my heart. Then to top it off when we got back to the house he SCREAMED and ran back to the front door and screamed "daddy." He was furious that we didn't bring Jared home with us. But, he'll be ok. We hooked up skype on my grandparents computer so we can still "see" him.

Cayden would throw coins into the pool and make Jared dive for them. They had fun playing this game.

We are having such a great time here. We will miss having Jared with us but Cayden and I are excited that we get to be here another week or so. We hope everyone is having a great summer!!!

~LOVE TO ALL~
