November 27 - Tampa Adventures

well...we kind of have 3 out of 4 looking at the camera

JD drove to Tampa with Luke and Jillian and had a rather uneventful car ride. This was Luke's first time being responsible for helping with Jillian in the car and he absolutely rocked it! They stopped for the night in Pensacola beach and arrived in Tampa on Saturday afternoon. Luke and Leah were super excited to see each other and played for hours. They especially loved climbing the big oak tree in the front yard of Grammie's house! Luke also had a blast playing video games with his uncles, showing off his skills (JD told me Luke was talking a lot of smack!). 

Julia and I flew into town Sunday evening and no joke, within 5min of seeing each other they were already arguing with each other. Ah, the joyful life of siblings. On Monday, JD and I took the kids to the children's museum and the kids loved it! We started at the top level of the museum which had a few tents set up, a "fishing" area and reading zone. We then headed to the 2nd level which was the best part of the museum.

They had all sorts of cool sections, including a fire true, dance area, paper airplanes, physical play, animal sounds and so much more. The kids loved loved this area and didn't want to leave. After spending a few hours there, we had a quick lunch at Jimmy Johns and were back to the house. 

That evening, after a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, Julia played "Villians" a new boardgame with JD, Uncle Chad and Uncle Greg. They had fun! 

Museum fun

Poor attempt at family photo...we missed Luke completely LOL
