Winter Park

Larkin had a bachelor party in Galveston last weekend, so I took the kids down to Winter Park for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time with my parents and friends; however, it was definitely strange as it was our first time visiting WP with my parents living in their new villa. Maya quickly named the two houses "the small house" and "the funny house" - funny because it had very little furniture! However, the lack of furniture made it perfect for my two kiddos - lots of room to run around, play with toys, etc.

I think Florida has finally replaced Colorado as Maya's dream place to visit (she now wants to wear bows in her hair like "Kwesley" and has named one of her babies "Jonathan".) We ended our first night there with dinner at the Reynolds' house. Maya loved playing with Kresley Reynolds and Jacob Cohen.

Ben fit right in with the Reynolds twins, Jonathan and Aubrey.

My parents came to dinner with us. Having dinner with my parents, my kids, two of my closest friends and their families was absolutely wonderful. The Reynolds and the Cohens get together for pizza most Friday nights - now that Bob and Nancy know about this, they may become regulars at Casa De Reynolds.
The family room in the "funny house" had one rocking chair, a piano, and lots of toys. Ben loved the piano - notice how he is on his tip toes trying so hard to reach the keys.
We spent both Saturday and Sunday at the Racquet Club. We had numerous friends join us for swimming and lunch both days. Betsy Sturgis drove up from Vero for the weekend. Maya had a lot of fun with Bridget and Brent!

Ben thought the kiddie pool was pretty nice.

We spend time at my parents' new house. The villa is beautiful, comfortable, and my kids immediately made themselves at home.




The street they live is on is very quiet - and flat - so perfect for bike rides and walks.





Ben enjoyed the new golf cart.





We stopped by a playground on our last day in town.


My parents then met us at the "funny house" for one last swim.




It was a wonderful trip, but we were all happy to see Larkin waiting for us at the airport Monday night!
