WOW...FAY!

OK, FIRST OFF... YES I'M CRAZY!

I WENT DOWN TO FLORIDA ON WED. TO SEE MY GRANDMA (91), MY AUNT & UNCLE. I HAD BEEN PLANNING A TRIP TO FLA. FOR A WHILE AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A TROPICAL STORM I WAS GOING TO FLORIDA.

THE FIRST 6 HOURS OF THE DRIVE WERE OK (W/2 BOYS WHO LOVE TO BE OUTSIDE PLAYING THIS WAS TORTURE) ONCE WE PASSED JACKSONVILLE AND DAYTONA WE MET FAY! WOW! SHE WAS INTENSE....THE CARS ON I95 WERE CRAWLING...WE DID 45 MPH FOR THE NEXT 4 HOURS. I MANAGED TO KEEP MY COOL AND REALLY CONCENTRATED ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS EXHAUSTING. I WAS ACTUALLY CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING IN A MONSOON. WE SAW SEVERAL CARS THAT HAD FLIPPED OVER COVERED IN WATER. I GUESS THESE CARS HYDROPLANED AND LOST CONTROL AND FLIPPED IN THE PROCESS (WHICH AT THAT MOMENT I PICTURED MYSELF DOING AS WELL) THE BOYS GOT SCARED WHEN THEY SAW THE WATERS RISING AND THE CARS FLIPPED OVER. ANTHONY FREAKED OUT!!! HE WAS CRYING AND WAS REPEATING OVER AND OVER THAT HE WAS SCARED.

BY THE TIME I REACHED EXIT 118 OFF I 95 MY NERVES WHERE SHOT. I CALLED MY AUNT AND UNCLE TO LET THEM KNOW I WOULD BE THERE SHORTLY. THEY INFORMED ME THERE NEIGHBORHOOD/STREET WAS FLOODED. THEY HAVE AN SUV AND HAD TO COME PICK US UP FROM A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT B/C I COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR TO THEIR HOUSE.

THE WHITE THING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER(STREET) IS MY AUNT & UNCLE'S MAIL BOX WHICH IS AT THE CURB.

THIS IS HOW THE MAJORITY OF THE STREETS LOOKED IN THE PT. SAINT LUCIE AREA. WE NEEDED A PADDLE BOAT!

ONCE WE GOT TO THE HOUSE I WAS ABLE TO REST AND VISIT W/ MY GRANDMA, AUNT & UNCLE. THEY JUST BUILT A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE W/SCREENED IN POOL.

MY BOYS WHERE IN THE POOL...MORNING,AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...THEY HAD A BLAST! I'M SURE MY AUNT & UNCLE WHERE WHORE OUT BY THE TIME WE LEFT THIS MORNING! THE BOYS ALSO ENJOYED SPENDING SOME TIME W/THEIR GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME THANKS AGAIN... TIZI (AUNT) ANNA & TIZI (UNCLE) TONY!

I'M TIRED I'LL POST MORE PICTURES TOMORROW...GOODNIGHT!

FINISHING UP SUMMER

NOTHING NEW HERE. WE ARE GETTING THROUGH THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS OF SUMMER. SAMANTHA CAME TO VISIT GRANDMA & GRANDPA FOR THE WEEK SO WE WERE ABLE TO STEAL HER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

SHE LOVES MY BOYS. THEY WERE WATCHING A MOVIES HOLDING HANDS AND LAYING ON EACH OTHER....TOO CUTE!

BOBBY & ANTHONY WANT TO KEEP SAMANTHA (SORRY MARI)...BUT THEY FIGHT OVER HER (RIGHT UP HER ALLEY). THEY BOTH WANT TO SIT NEXT TO HER, THEY BOTH WANT TO HOLD HER HAND THEY BOTH WANT TO TELL HER SECRETS. TO MUCH DRAMA... I THINK I'LL KEEP MY 2 BOYS!!!

SAMANTHA WAS ABLE TO KEEP UP THOUGH. I GUESS SHE IS USED TO IT FROM SAL & DONOVAN. I TOOK THEM TO SPORTS CONNECTION(INDOOR FUN LAND FOR KIDS) THEY JUMPED IN THE BOUNCE HOUSES FOR 2 HOURS.(GREAT PLAY IF YOUR LOOKING TO UNLOAD ENERGY) SHE WAS JUST AS SWEATY AND SMELLY AS THE BOYS...GOOD JOB SAMANTHA...I BET YOU SLEPT GOOD LAST NIGHT!

I EVEN TRIED TO TAKE SOME PICS OF JUST SAMANTHA & AUNT GG BUT THE BOYS EVEN GOT IN THOSE AS WELL...SO THIS IS OUR SELF PORTRAIT!

****WE HAD FUN WITH SAMANTHA!!!****
