Florida Trip! May 2022

 A very great benefit of homeschool is getting to choose when to travel! The boys and I headed down to Florida in May (between the Spring Break and summer crowds). Taking the boys to Florida will forever be one of my favorite memories I have made with them over these years of their childhood. I love taking them home, and doing some of the things we did as kids (like Disney!).

The time we flew down and stayed for about a week. As always, we had the best time. And stayed super busy :) 


On the airplane! They really love to fly.


The first outing was Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. Seeing this koala was definitely a highlight of Carson's year.










The second event was Legoland! I'll be sad when they outgrow Legoland one day...







Carson is a rock star at the Ninjago ride.



We spent one day in Bartow, feeding the birds, hanging out with the dogs, swimming, and just resting before heading to the final big leg of our trip!




I really wanted to go back to Fort Wilderness and into the Magic Kingdom so we made it happen! My mom rented an RV and we stayed for a few days. I LOVE Fort Wilderness. It is one of my favorite places.



For our day at the Magic Kingdom, my dad and I took the boys and we spent the whole day there. It was really, really, perfect.














A highlight of the day was definitely that my boys got to meet my sister, Kayle for the first time! I loved seeing her again after many years.





Gem mining at Fort Wilderness.


We did lots of swimming.


And had the best meal at the Trail's End Restaurant.

Making s'mores.




Campfire and movie night!

Picnic :)





And, back to Bartow before flying out the next day.

Carson has a really sweet bond with these dogs, especially Bella 💖

Carver is obsessed with eat at Catfish Country. We usually go more than once because he loves it so much.


I can't wait to go back. Every trip to Florida is better than the last 😀
