Fun Weekend...As Usual!

On Saturday, Addison and I met Aunt Kelly and Taylor for lunch and a movie (Ice Age 4)!  Then we rode the train at Sarasota Square Mall, got cookies, rode the little merry-go-round, and bought puppies!!  Daddy and Uncle Bobby were at the Hard Rock for the NFL Fantasy Football Draft.  So we all had fun on Saturday!

 The girls waiting for the train!

 All aboard!

 Riding the little merry-go-round.


 Testing out the puppies.

 Here are the puppies they chose!  Orangey (Taylor's), and Black Beauty, recently had a name change to brownish-whiteish (Addison's).  Not sure what his name is today!
 Here they are walking the puppies through the mall.  They had many onlookers and friendly comments along the way!
 On a rainy Sunday, some of our favorite people came over for an afternoon of play time then dinner.  Here are Addison and Taylor after putting on their pajamas and having some cookies for dessert! 

 Playing with their puppies!
 Random picture of Addison playing Doctor with her animal friends.  Or maybe Vet?
This was a beautiful sunset.  Too bad our camera couldn't get the actual clouds in the sky.  Very pretty. 

Aaron and ADdison's trick!

Addison's Grammie and Papa Vacation

While Aaron and I had fun in Vegas, Addison had her very own super fun time with Grammie and Papa.  We all were surprised when Grammie and Papa surprised Addison with a 2 night hotel stay in Tampa!  They took Addison to their favorite hotel- Embassy Suites.  She called us while in Vegas and said "I'm in a hotel just like you!".  She was so excited.  While in Tampa, they took her to Busch Gardens!!  Here are pictures from their awesome vacation together.  Sure do love Grammie and Papa! 
 Headed up to their door with her bag.
 They had a sign made for her!  So sweet.

 Super excited after Papa told her they were going to a hotel AND Busch Gardens!!
On their way

 She LOVES hotels!!

 One of her favorite animals!
 After breakfast
