Matt's parents gifted us with a week at a timeshare in Florida last week. We got to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary while we were away, and had a really fun time, just the three of us. Truthfully, we didn't do all that much, but relaxing and having time together was a huge blessing. Here's our week, in pictures:)
Saturday, we flew down to Orlando. The flight was during Kate's nap time, which is NOT ideal, but the tickets were really cheap on Southwest, we were hoping she'd fall asleep for at least part of the flight. She didn't. Well, ok, she did, but it wasn't until we had landed and were taxi-ing to the gate. She then proceeded to sleep on Matt's shoulder while we deplaned, made our way through the Orlando airport, and got our luggage.

Sunday morning, bright and early, Kate informed us it was 'swimming time'. She LOVED the pools and being outside so much.

After swimming all morning, we went for a paddle boat ride on the lake before heading in for lunch. It was really fun to see everything from the water, and Kate liked going by the fountains. That night, we listened to live music over at the main pool. Kate entertained everyone with her dance moves:)

We spent Wednesday at Sea World. It was awesome. As we were walking in, Matt was mocking me for being so excited, but by the end of the day, he was pretty happy too. We watched the dolphin show and the Shamu show. We also got to see sea lions, baby dolphins, sting rays, sharks, tons of fish, beluga whales, a polar bear, and a walrus. What a fun day! After dinner, there was live music again, so we walked over. There was a family from Virginia with two little girls that we kept running into all week. The three little ones loved holding hands and playing together. They danced the night away!

Friday, we hung out at the pools most of the day (it was our nicest weather day), and took a long walk around the resort in the evening.
Once we finally got checked in and through security on Saturday morning, the Orland airport was great for plane watching. We got home just in time for Kate's nap and she slept like a dream (finally!).
We are so grateful for family time!
