The boys talk all year long about what they want to do when we go to Florida in the summer. It is absolutely one of the highlights of our year. This year we were only able to stay for just over a week but we were able to cram in all of our favorites. I am so thankful that my parents do so much with us when we come down and I love that my boys are making memories of summers in Bartow.

| It was a very long drive to Bartow. We didn't stopped halfway this time ...and it was kind of painful. |

| Dinner at Gator's Dockside. |
We woke up bright and early our first morning in Bartow and headed over to Legoland and to stay at the Legoland hotel there. So. Much. Fun. and
so so very hot.
Mandy and her kids joined us later in the day!

| Dinner at the hotel. The food is just so good. |

| Pajama party time. |
Mandy and her kids stayed at the Legoland Beach Resort that night, so we met up again the next day for another full day at the park.
It was so much fun to get to spend some extra time with Mandy and her kids. My boys absolutely love her kids, and there was a very sweet relationship between Carson (5) and Seth (almost 10). Carson really loves older boys and tends to latch onto them-- and Seth was so patient and kind to him. Carver and Jacob became fast friends as well.
Mom and Dad and I really love getting to see how excited the boys are at Legoland and the hotel. They love getting to do the Master Builder class and they love all of the extra activities at the hotel. It was a great start to our trip.
