We spent Thanksgiving, and the days surrounding it, in Florida. After nearly two years of construction, new babies and Zika, we were finally able to visit my parents new winter home in Estero, FL!
But before we could enjoy the warm weather we had to make the journey down there…with two kids…on a plane…during the Thanksgiving. Needless to say I was a little nervous. But like any good mom I plied myself with enough snacks to feed a small army, a fully charged iPad loaded with Andrew’s faves and more diapers than conceivably necessary. Andrew did awesome and at one point we had both boys asleep! #winning
Once down there we quickly settled in and the boys made themselves at home in Papa and Coco’s bathtub! 
We spent our days going to walks, playing tennis and swimming in the pool. Andy, my Dad and I even squeezed in a round of golf. Yes, it was a real hardship!
One afternoon we took the boys to the Everglades Wonder Garden so Andrew could see some alligators, turtles, snakes and other local animals. Andrew was able to get pretty close to the gators and even feed them. Don’t worry, he made sure to tell you that you can’t touch them! 
Teddy clearly loved the gators ?
We had to take Papa’s Porsche when the whole crew went somewhere. Daddy volunteered to drive and Andrew was allowed to sit in the back seat when we stayed in the neighborhood. Andrew called it Papa’s race car. Again, a real hardship holiday.
