The Tooth Fairy came last night! Teddy was so excited to wake up to $5 under his pillow.  Our flight was later in the evening so we had all day to still enjoy Florida. Unfortunately, when we woke up Rocky started not feeling well.  I tried calling Legacy to get our late check out extended but they were unable to do so, so after a little morning swim we said goodbye to the condo and went on our way. 

We had heard about Icon Park and decided to check in out. It was rather crowded in the inside area (and rather costly) so we decided to just get lunch and keep moving. We went to the Yard House. The food was wonderful and they had great drinks too. The waitress was very sweet. Unfortunately, Rocky was still not feeling great. We decided to just head to the airport early, find a comfy spot, and wait. 

While on the way Rocky threw up massively in the convertible. Luckily we were in a great spot and were able to pull into an office space parking lot. We stripped Rocky down and wiped him down with baby wipes. The carseat had puke all over it. Thankfully, we had put the carseat bag underneath the carseat to protect the leather seat and it caught a lot of the excess liquid. There was a dumpster in the parking lot but it was under surveillance so we didn't feel like we could throw the carseat, puke clothes and carseat bag in there, so Thom had to walk all the pukey stuff a block to the nearest gas station--and Thom does not do well with puke!

We made it to the hotel, got the car virtually checked in and headed to check in. There was quite a line so I'm glad we got there when we did! We made it through security with ease and found the only open restaurant/bar they had open. The food was average at best but it gave us a place to hang out. Rocky wasn't feeling the best on the flight still and he ended up falling asleep on my lap. Teddy spotted a rainbow out the window and was so excited! 

Mom picked us up at the airport and we drove home with the windows down. Flying into Des Moines was so convenient! We picked up the girls and headed home! It was a great trip, but there is no place like home for sick boys to get better!

 Our travel day began with swimming lessons, Renegade Running Club, cleaning and some last minute packing. We were waiting for the dog food and new shoes to arrive, but FedEx was moving rather slow. I called Solutions to see if they had the number of the FedEx driver and they tried to reach out. As we were just past New Virginia they called and said they had our packages. We turned around quickly to go get them. Unfortunately, when I opened the box we found that the magnetic security tag was still left on one of Rocky’s new shoes!  Nita and Jess generously dropped Mom off at the airport where we could meet her with the car seat and she could take our van with the dogs. Check in went smoothly and they allowed our 41 pound bag through (40 pounds was the limit).The TSA agent was so kind and gave the boys a junior officer badge sticker. Once we were through security we grabbed some sandwiches and went to the gate.  Our flight was only 10 minutes late taking off! Unfortunately, when I booke

 Teddy and Rocky woke up first this morning and woke me up. We got dressed and went to the lobby to check out and back in to our condo.  Then they wanted to go to the playground. We made a little trip to the playground before heading back to meet Thom. We had run a few errands so we loaded up in the convertible and away we went. Our first stop was Dick’s Sporting Goods to remove the security tag from Rocky’s shoes. Then we enjoyed lunch at Johnny Rockets. The boys liked the plate with the smiley face. I thought the burger was pretty good.  After a quick stop at Publix and Dollar Tree we headed back to the condo.  It took some convincing, but the boys went down for a nap before the rest of the crew arrived. I got an elliptical work out in before they arrived. The Alt family arrived about 3:15. We hung out for awhile and once the boys were awake we headed to the pool. The McDougall family arrived about 5:30 and joined us in the pool. We had dinner at Tony’s poolside as the lightning bega
