Spring Break 2008 - Tampa, FL

Wow! What a week! It is our last night in Tampa, and we are all very sad to see the week come to an end, especially Todd Jr, who has shed more than one tear in anticipation of our leaving in the morning. We have been swimming, visiting Busch Gardens, enjoying the ever popular Chuck E. Cheese and most importantly visited with Grammie, Dada, and all the aunts, uncles and cousins! We were finally able to introduce Grant to all the family all of whom are in agreement that he looks exactly like Todd Jr, with the exception of the hair... that is all Grady Joe.

We were thrilled to see our newest niece/cousin Madison Grace Lockert. She looks exactly like her big brother Mason. She is a joy to be with, she has a beautiful smile which shines the brightest when she sees her mommy!

Mommy, Dat Dat, Uncle Tim and Aunt Grace decided to see if it were possible to visit Busch Gardens out numbered more than 2 to 1. The four of us took Todd Jr, Grady, Grant, Kati, Timmy, Sarah, Jess, Mason and Madison... it was truly an adventure but the kids were AWESOME!!! We had so much fun that we may actually consider doing it again. We tried to leave Grady with his orangutan cousins, but they did not seem to want him:)

Last night, Todd Jr. spent the night at Uncle Tim's... apparently, he and Timmy stayed up until 11pm... it showed... most of the kids ended up at Grammie and Da Da's house... no more than an hour after Timmy and Todd arrived, they were both asleep on the sofa... we even tried to put Grady and Mason to sleep in the same room... Big Mistake... but at least an hours worth of entertainment... Mason kept peeking over the bed rail at Grady, who was constantly twirling his hair... Grace and Nat even heard Grady tell Mason th SHHH when Mason was crying... it seemed to work... at least for a few minutes... until we caught them singing "Low, Low, Low..."

We will post more when we get back to Panama City!
