FL Trip Day 6






We check out of the hotel around 10AM and make our 3 hr. + drive down to see Chris, Loray and kids. It will be nice to be in a home again for a few days. I know our kids enjoy the hotel but being in a house (even if it is not ours) is calming for the kids. They will sleep well tonight. We make it to Homestead and are greeted with hugs and kisses from Papa Clyde and Daniele and cousins Keliana, Chris & Loray. Loray decides to go and get the other kid cousins out of school early since we arrive. This is the first time the kids are all meeting each other. Akorren was around but was just a little guy when he met Andi and Marina.
We spend the afternoon and evening playing with the kids, swimming in the pool making dinner for a clan of 7 kids and 6 adults, and then spent time on the Wii, and at the pool table playing late into the night. Chris had to work that night and made it home by 11PM, we were all still up and Loray ended up cutting out of work early to visit with us. We had a great time just being one big family at home. It was like a mini Johnson reunion with all the kids running around. When bed time came all the kids bunked up for the night. It was a lot of fun. I think tomorrow we will be taking a visit to the famous Florida Everglades, the visitor center is less then 20 minutes away from the house. It should be fun.
