Grandma comes to visit!!

Grandma Cindy came to visit Michael! She drove up from Sarasota to Ocala the day after his party so that she would be able to spend more quality time with the lil man. She also came bearing TONS of presents! Michael was able to give Grandma her birthday gifts while she was visiting, which included this envelope/card that Michael decorated with Daddy :) I think we have a creative little guy on our hands, don't you think? :)

So it took Michael an hour to open everything that Grandma brought. I think our little man will be well educated by all these Leap Frog toys!

He was super excited about his travel tray! He got to take it with him to Cedar Key later that afternoon! It is a perfect toy because we travel quite a bit around the state and we are currently planning trips to Alabama and Texas!

Mike and I were particularly excited about this Boon Frog! It scoops up all of Michael's bath toys after he done with his "splish splash," and then you hang it on the wall and the soap/water drains out! Fabulous idea!

So after our morning of gift opening, we packed up the little guy and Grandma and headed to Cedar Key. My mom has lived in FL for like 45 years and has never been so we thought this would be a great opportunity since we are only 1 hr 30 min away. Michael slept most of the way which worked perfectly. He was in a great mood once we arrived :)

One of the main reasons we enjoy going to Cedar Key is because the food is AMAZING!!! We went to the Rusty Rim for lunch and enjoyed Clams, Oysters, Gator Tail, Shrimp... the list goes on :)

After lunch, we walked out to the Pier. The Key is just beautiful and we hope to go back soon for the entire weekend and boat out to some of the little islands.

My handsome boys! Michael's expression is priceless :)

Always getting kisses from Mommy :)

After our photo session at the Pier was complete, we walked around town... shopped and enjoyed some ice coffee. It was so wonderful to spend the day with Grandma. We are so looking forward to our next visit with her! Hopefully it will be soon as Uncle Ryan's 23rd bday is right around the corner, along with Grandpa John! We just need to get him back to Florida!
