We had an awesome trip to Florida. Only hiccup was flying out - we were delayed about an hour due to the heavy snow in Des Moines. We had to wait for the snow to pass and then de-ice the plane. I was really nervous our flight would get cancelled due to all the snow, but an hour delay wasn't too bad! And of course, it's always Noah's luck...when we want to travel, there is snow. So he had to line up 3 people to help with his snow removal business while we were gone.
We stayed at Lido Beach Resort near Sarasota. The resort was awesome and the beach was pristine. We were within walking distance of St. Armand's Circle which had great shops and restaurants. So we spent each night there. We would definitely go back to this area again....hopefully soon!

Noah loved the cart escalator at Publix. He had never seen one before!
Beach - white sand and blue water.
Noah tested out the hurrican simulation machine at Mote Aquarium. Wind speed got up to 78.7 mph.
This is Lido Key. Our resort was in the bottom left hand corner. Where the yellow circle is is St. Armand's Circle. Noah was obsessed with navigating the geography of the key and looking at real estate. I think he's thinking about investing in a property. Anyone want to invest with us?

Meanwhile, back home....Harper did awesome without us. Not even sure she knew we were gone! She loved staying at Aunt Amy's/Uncle Russ' and playing with M&M. Only challenge for them was sleeping at night. She wanted to sleep with Amy and Russ. Amy would go to bed with her, and Harper would exclaim that she NEEDED Uncle Russ next to her too. So then Russ would have to come to bed too - and endure kicks from Harper.
Finally, some snow - so Max and Harper made a snowman....or rather a snow Harper.
Playing with Mollie!
