Redd Hott Life

So, I not only feel like I'm starting out of nowhere but I literally am: Yay! I thought I'd post some pics from our recent trip to Florida! It was great, I LOVE vacationing when NO ONE else is! No lines, crowds, traffic, etc. We will keep that up as long as we can, I know it will become more difficult as Mikelle moves up to Jr. High and High School, but... Hey, we got a little while!

YEP!!! That'd be FOUR hula hoops! She entered the Hula Hoop Contest every night! Even Kelli entered and won TWICE!

The Resort had a "Fun Crew" and they had activities for EVERYBODY all the time and Mikelle made lots of friends and had no problem joining the activities!

Cocoa Beach = See picture above, explains it all!

I was SO beautiful and absolutely amazing while we were there! I could not believe the water was warmer than Hawaii!!! Definitely going back! This little one is a beach bum to a T! Although she and I watched the movie "Soul Surfer" about a week before our trip and she was very hesitant to go to the beach and get in the water! But obviously that didn't last long at all!

HEAVENLY!!!

We also found this AWESOME car for Chandler! And after much thought, we decided that even though it was small, it still wouldn't fit in our luggage for the flight home! Sorry Chan Chan!

So... We as a family are HUGE Harry Potter nerds and proud of it! Here we are leaving one day after chillin with Harry and the gang! Taking the Hogwarts Express back the the resort, I wish! (BTW, bloated bellies are totally allowed on vacations and amusement parks! The park food does not digest very well, if at all!)

We had lots of fun not waiting in lines and buying up a bunch of goodies and Honey Dukes!

You'll have to forgive me for what seems like a boring pic! About a year ago LORI and I had our girls sitting down and resting here and also had quite the conversation here! So, this here is unofficially named, "Lori's Curb" ~ Here, at Lori's Curb, she told me I should seriously consider being a stand up comedian! We saw several things that no one should ever have to witness, it was bad! She went from curb to gutter pretty quick! Lots of scooters, and the "type" of people that ride them at amusement parks, haven't found a nice one yet? That's just sad! Lots of people that haven't digested their "amusement park food" EVER! Also people deciding on what rides they should (or can) ride! WOW! And if you know me at all, you know I can't sit quietly!

SO LORI... "GO SIT ON A CURB!!!"

SO... if you find any man sexy at this time, let me tell you something! Put him in an official racing suit! DANG!!!

Then watch him drive this machine at about 140 mph around a Nascar track, the sound, the smell, the excitement, this day was SO incredible! We all had so much fun even though Mikelle and I didn't even get in a car! We will be doing this again! Different track though, gotta mix it up a little ya know!

Our last night at the resort and Mikelle wanted to spend it at the pool and with the "Fun Crew" they loved her and looked forward to Mikelle coming every day! This is Ashley having fun hula hooping by the pool and getting reading for the nightly Limbo contest that was probably Mikelle's favorite!

While we had an ABSOLUTE blast on our vacay, we did miss this little part of our family!

ZOEY!!!

Thanks to Aunt Kimmy and the entire Bleak Fam for watching her and loving her SO much while we were gone!

Kim can tell you about the ransom phone calls we received daily about keeping our pet, and that she would pay for us to get a new dog, but they wanted Zoe Zoe! Kim has MANY accents that amazingly all sound like Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther!

I finally had to tell Mikelle that Aunt Kimmy was NOT going to keep her dog! She ended up in tears after one particular ransom phone call! Hahaha! That's like lying to your kid and telling her you're pregnant! Who does horrible things like that to a child???

Till next time ~ Redd Fam OUT!
