Fabulous Florida--An Easter Celebration Then Back to the Beach

On the fourth day of our Florida visit, first thing in the morning and filled with excited anticipation, we made our way to the community Easter celebration. We were greeted with a long line at the entrance which somewhat dampened our spirits. We thankfully discovered that we didn't need to stand in it to gain entrance. We made our way through crowds of people involved in various activities to try to find our son-in-law representing his dental office. We found him handing out balloons and other appropriate prizes. Jacob and Tori stayed at the booth to give him some much needed help while Grandpa and I took Owen out to play.

We were a little overwhelmed by the crowd at first. Hundreds of people were packed into a rather small courtyard of the local mall. But then we found the bubbles,


...the mostly abandoned art project table,



...and Owen's best friend. Life was good!

Just before we left, the Disney station dancers caught our eye. We couldn't resist joining them for a few steps before heading out to find some Easter treats at the shops in the mall.

Unfortunately, we waited too long to make the rounds. The treats were gone. No problem! After a quick lunch and restful nap, we were off to the beach to soak up some sun.


The best part of the whole day? Getting to spend it with family.
