House 3&4 Florida 2020

 After 2.5 weeks in our Orlando home, we found an even BIGGER home for even LESS money. That's right, 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a pool, a hot tub, and a game room. While the world was increasingly closing every available activity, a ginormous home seemed like a wonderful idea. And the price was right.  Personally, I really wanted that hot tub.... I mean really, really wanted that hot tub!

I could have done better documenting this huge house but suffice a few shots here to glean some Disney Theming going on...

Princess Palace room was for Lila and Chantel! Brooklyn kept stealing moments in their bed...

The boys scored spiderman!

Enough said...

And that pool, with a hot tub, and a grill! Yes, yes, and yes! We had lots of fun with the Green family while they stayed for 2.5 weeks. I wish I had some photos of our families together. I guess we were too busy enjoying the moment.

Bridgers new weapon of choice became the palm clippings that fell off....those things are strong...

Brooklyn loved observing the wildlife and lizards...it became a daily ritual on our walks...

And while the weather is still pleasant in April we spent a fair amount of time at the Windsor Hills playgrounds...

And proof that Brooklyn had curly hair for a hot second (it will likely never happen again girlfriend)!

Brooklyn going from pac' n play to pac' n play as we moved from house to house. This house as the others she got a good size walk in closet. Not bad considering she slept in the bathroom in the townhome...

And back to the underwear obsession, this time she took Lilas and fell asleep in it, haha...

We celebrated a few fun holidays/birthday in our 6 bdrm rental starting with Easter...thank you E'lle for being an amazing Easter bunny...

Easter bunny races thanks to E'lle! We were so lucky to have her so close, and to spoil the kiddos...

Then we celebrated Bronxton's 6th Birthday in style, with E'lle and TJ and The Green Family. We ate a lot of pizza and continued our favorite activity swimming!!!

A shirt for home church....(with a limited wardrobe...)

Bronxton's most desired gift was spy glasses, and guess what...he got em'! You look so cool dude!

E'lle and TJ are the best, and Bronxton loved the walkie talkies!

Then as if one birthday wasn't enough....8 days later comes Mom's birthday!!! Micah and I went to the beach for day while E'lle and TJ had the kids over. On that beach visit Micah took a walk with me to the Cocoa pier from Cape Canaveral. Not only did he walk atleast 2 miles on the beach but we discussed how we should rent a condo in Cape Canaveral for summer. At that point it was looking like Micah would be staying around for NBA restart...but how long we still did not know....

Never, a dull moment because after our 6 bdrm dream came to an end E'lle lended us her apartment for a week until another condo in Windsor Hills became available for a few months while Micah continued working the NBA restart with Disney. How is it possible we were at the right place at the right time? Just like NYC I feel like we were really led, and I'm so grateful we were in Florida at this time. It was an amazingly fun adventure for our family to have such a long vacation and break in our every day schedules. While the world shut down, we woke up, and had a new found joy in life.

Thank you E'lle for your beautiful home that allowed us to continue our Florida adventure...

For the first time in this Florida time Micah flew back to NYC to retrieve our car and some additional clothing and supplies. We spent more time at the temple and loving our outdoor time.
