"Staycation"

Travis went to Florida....so we needed a break from the usual too! Our "trip" was lots of fun too! It involoved:
An art fair--complete with projects for the kids to do followed by ice cream 

A pool (visited it a couple times)
A Star Party!! With NASA telescopes to look at the moon, stars, Jupiter, and Venus! Very exciting!
Red light flashlights to help view our star charts
A Planet walk

HUGE Shakes at our hotel, jumping on the beds as much as we wanted, staying up late, cartoons, and breakfast that mom didn't even have to make OR clean up!! Awesome! 
A definite highlight was riding the elevator and pushing the buttons (Ethan's job) and using the card key to open the door (Sophia's job)
My favorite line repeated frequently by Ethan was "KIDS ARE IN CHARGE!!!" They loved doing whatever they wanted all weekend long! It was a fun break.
To top ot off--Grandma Stewart was here for a quick visit!

Travis had a good time in Florida too--at the beach, good food, good friends, BYU football game, long drive home!
