Fun in the Sun(shine) State

In May, we made our annual trip to Florida to enjoy visiting with friends, family, and hot, sunny days. We are always so grateful to everyone who makes time to come and see us and we love getting together and catching up. This year we used our timeshare to stay at a resort in Orlando and spent most of our time in the pool, which was awesome!
James got to try out the cockpit on our flight out.
He wanted to know what each button did.

Mr. Dave joined us for a few hours of fun and James
loved it. He insisted on holding his hand and riding all
of the rides with him. Hilarious.
We were soggy but happy. Thanks again, Shawn!
