Ok, For all of you out there who were worried about us 'cause I haven't posted an entry in a while, this update is for you.
WE WERE ON VACATION IN PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA!!
Yes, that is right. We were living life in sunny Florida. It was such a great trip. We were able to stay with Jake's Aunt Debbie & Uncle Fred. (a special "thanks" to you!) They have a house that sits on a waterway that heads out to the ocean. Jake would set his alarm at night so he could wake up extra early to go out fishing on the dock for some cool salt water fish. He was having the time of his life.
The first weekend we were in Florida, we spent it in Gainsville,- home of the Florida Gators! We all went to our first "Gators Tailgating" party at the University of Florida. There is quite a following of fans in that city. I think the tailgating parties surrounded the University about 4 blocks in each direction. Jake went on to watch the game in the stadium. A dream come true for him. Florida played South Carolina and won, 56-6. GO GATORS!!
The rest of our week was filled with all sorts of family fun. Alot of Jakes family lives down there so we got to spend time with Kanyon's Great Grandma, and Jake's aunts, uncles, sisters, cousins... the whole crew. We had fun shopping, eating sushi, and getting splashed at the beach. Jake's uncle took us out in his boat and we got to see beautiful mansions on the coast. It was seriously hard to think about having that much money...and most of them probably had a $20 million yacht to go with it. It was crazy to see. Jake & I spent one day in Ft. Lauderdale walking up & down the A1A. A1A is a "beachfront avenue" (yes, just like the Vanilla Ice song..lol). On one side there is a beach and the ocean, and the other side is full of shops and restaurants. We ate lunch at a place called The Rock Bar. I think we were served the biggest drinks ever at this place. The food wasn't so bad either. Jake also got to go scuba diving for the first time. He thought it was awesome. He found a starfish and brought it home as a souvenir. We had an awesome trip and would like to thank everyone in Florida for making it that way for us. We can't wait to come back.

Okay, I was worried. Now I'm jealous.... I'm sure denial and anger are just around the corner. It's a myriad of emotions...
How lucky are you guys?! FUN. and Kanyon is so cute in those sunglasses, I'm fighting the urge to just eat her up. At least you could say it was crappy weather out there or something. Geez. It's like you have no concept of compassion for us freezing Utahns.
I love baby Kanyon!! She's so adorable! I'm glad you guys had a good time. We missed you!! We're here in Vegas and having a great time! My parents heated the pool so we're swimming in 90 degree water. It's great! We'll see you next week!
LOVE YA!
Oh, how fun. I love Florida. What cute pictures too.
