We started out at 4:15 a.m. from the Maiwurm drive-way on Friday the 4th of Janury. What a great flight we had. Sun Country had wonderful service to WPB including leaving MSP on time and arriving WPB early. The cutest thing ever was: Angie and Ryan had been preparing Hayden all week for the Maiwurm/Boeckmann "blast off". Well here's the picture, he has been looking at the plane from inside the airport but does not quite connect the dots. The little guy is just a truckin pulling his little suitcase of Thomas the trains and books down the tunnel to the plane. He gets to the entrance of the plane and freezes. Angie and Ryan have to pick him and carry him onto the plane and it takes a good half an hour to settle him down. Angie finally talked him into once we were in the air he could watch his Little Einstein Kids "blast off" too.
It took two cars to get all of us and baggage from the airport. Ray picked up the guys and Judy picked up the girls and one Hayden. I guess the guys forgot he was a guy too. Oh well, the women all love him. I'm trying to remember, I think it rained on and off the first two days. But by the time we checked into the timeshare on Sat. the skies had cleared the temps had warmed and it was beautiful the rest of the week.
Angie, Ryan and Hayden slept in one bedroom with a make shift bed for the kid. Grandma G was suppose to ship up his Grandma G bed but somehow it was lost and Ryan had to intercept the UPS shipment and have it shipped to Ray and Judy's. I think it arrived Tues. p.m., and he slept on it the rest of the time. Just so you know, Ryan slept like a baby, Angie had restless sleep and Hayden snuggled with Angie on and off. Michelle and Nate had the hide-a-bed and hid it away and moved on to Ray and Judy's guest house from Monday on. They just got up early and returned to bond at the timeshare each morning. The "master" of the family slept great in the master bedroom also.
The Floridian sunrises were beautiful each morning. I, myself, headed out early each a.m. to work on my curves at the local Curves. Michelle, Angie (sometimes Nate or Ryan) and kid headed to the park just about every morning. The Minnesota Nice came thru at the park for Hayden, the Fla. kids are not big on manners yet. Hayden's saying: "everyone take turns everyone have fun."
Ryan's cutest episode: guy at the pool told Ryan he had a cute kid "Ryan says thanks I put everything I had into him."
Angie's mom statement: Angie tells Ryan to get up, he says "I'm tired" Angie says and I'm not?
Michelle and Nate managed to do the fun things I would have liked to do. Like walking the nice shopping areas and stopping for a dessert and wine. Maybe in my next life.
Not sure how soon the next "fam vac" will be but there definitely will be one.
