Several months ago, Craig was catching up with his long time best friend Mook on the phone and surprised him with the news that we added another child to our family. Mook responded with a surprise of his own--that he was married! And they wanted to invite us to their wedding celebration!
So we took a weekend trip with Katelyn and flew into Orlando.
Katelyn did great on her first airline flight.
The next day we drove up to Valdosta, Georgia for the wedding celebration. Right now I spend most of my time in mommy mode (aka sweatpants and ponytails) and we are busy with our kids and their needs and activities. So it was a nice change to just focus on doing something for ourselves.
We were happy to have this little munchkin with us though. She was a good ice breaker since we didn't know a lot of people at the party.
But it was nice to be there to celebrate the wedding of Michael (Mook) and Mackenzie.

We are happy for them.
Katelyn was great on the trip although she wasn't really a fan of the "jail" crib and didn't sleep that well. Good thing she's cute!
Craig really enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with his childhood friend. We went to lunch at I-hop and then enjoyed a game of Frisbee golf. Then we headed back down to Orlando.
Couldn't leave Florida without stopping to notice the palm trees.
And going to see the beach was an absolute must since we don't get that opportunity often living in the middle of the United States. There is just something so simple, calming, and refreshing about being there---walking up and down the coast.
Love these sweet pictures of daddy and daughter!!
Beautiful beach baby!

And since it was Katelyn's first time at the beach we had to put her feet in the sand and water and let her discover it for herself.
Get ready!
Here comes the water.
I think she likes it.
We had fun watching others enjoying their beach time.

It was the perfect way to end our weekend trip.
Craig loves seafood (shrimp mostly) but I am really not a fan. However, it seemed only right to do the seafood thing after the beach so we did. And I got the least "fishy" thing on the menu--fried popcorn shrimp and dipped it in lots of sauce. It was a great weekend getaway!!
