We had a wild week last week. Gigi was in town visiting for her fall break and kept the girls for a couple days for Ty and I to go out of town. Her fall break happened to fall over my birthday which was an added bonus. Tyler went to Illinois for a couple days to see his family and then flew to Florida to meet me for a couple days. We stayed in Anna Maria Island. Ryan and Jenny found this place last summer and got us really excited to visit. It is a really cute town with beautiful beaches and by far the clearest water I have ever seen in the gulf. We had one beautiful afternoon on the beach and stayed out as long as we could- because the rest of our time was kindof stinky weather. We had a great time anyway and loved having no agenda. I read an amazing book (thanks Amanda!), called Kisses from Katie, about a young girl's mission work in Uganda. Thanks to Ryan and Jenny we had some wonderful Cuban food from Joses Real Cuban Food, which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives last year. We also got to go to one of the shadiest movie theaters I have ever been to. It was a $2 theater in a mall that barely had any lights on because I guess they were conserving energy? Literally we were walking down the mall hall and it was pretty dark and one of the only stores still in existence was an entirely Jamaican flag themed clothing store. I seriously considered turning around, but we kept on- and we got to see Captain America for $4 total! And on Mondays movies were .50 cents. I wish we had a cheap theater at home- or a nicer version of one.
I didn't get my camera out at all because of the weather, but Tyler got a few pictures on his phone.

We flew out of Orlando late on my birthday and we got to spend the afternoon at Universal Orlando in Harry Potter. Tyler had been wanting to go there since it opened- and it did not disappoint. We were surprised that there were so many people there on a misty day in October, but the lines weren't too bad and we got to see everything.

We got home late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning Skylar had her eye surgery. It was great to have Gigi in town for this too so that Savannah didn't have to endure the surgery and waiting. Her surgeon thought everything went well and when we went for her post-op appointment the next day they thought she looked great. We thought she looked pitiful, but apparently it is normal to look rough for a little while. This is Sky on day 4 after surgery. Lots of hanging out in pjs going on.
Day 5....Still Rough!
Savannah was so happy to have Gigi in town!
