Our Friends :)

We have been anxiously awaiting our friends arrival to Florida for a week long vacation in a resort in Orlando...we at first thought that it would be Megan and Alan and her parents, Tom and Joyce, and Sam, Alexis and Eli too...but then Alexis said she couldn't get out of working so they couldn't come :( We were pretty disappointed about it, but still really excited to see everyone else. Then the day finally arrived and we met them at the Bob Evans right by our house and after giving hugs Alan and Megan pointed to the door of the restaurant, and who should walk out but our dear friends Sam, Alexis and little Eli!!!!! We were so surprised and happy!!! They got us good...they had all been lying to us for about a month because they wanted to surprise us! So we had a great week in Orlando. We spent a lot of time at the pools and in the sunshine and we all got nice and tan! Megan, Alexis, Joyce and I all participated in some activities like yoga in the morning, and a pampering session, and my favorite...a dancing one where they taught the merenge (sp?) and the rhumba. I was Joyce's partner and we all laughed so much, it was great! Tom and Joyce stayed in the room a few nights so that we could all go out after the kids were in bed, so we went out to eat and played miniature golf and just had fun! It was pretty sad to see them leave again, but hopefully we can plan another trip to Michigan again soon. For now it is good to sleep in our own beds again. :) We love you all!
I think Tom and Joyce would *love* to be grandparents someday!
We went to the Macaroni Grill and had a yummy dinner and lots of laughs! Lana loves swimming and they had a great little toddler pool that was about a foot deep with fountains in it. She had a lot of fun in this pool, and in the big pool!
Isn't this a cute picture of Eli? He is almost 6 months old, and he is so smiley and cute, I will post more pictures of him soon too!
David tends to stare a lot...he was talking to his rattle here, but it was funny how he would be quietly staring at everyone. He would get so excited in the pool though, he likes to splash a lot and then he cracks up!
