FL Trip Part 2: Mt. Dora

Wednesday morning we packed up our bags and headed to Mt. Dora (just oustide of Orlando) to visit Uncle Jim, Aunt Dawn, Jake, Ben, and Sarah (and Grandma and Grandpa Brumels got to come visit for a couple of days!). Mt. Dora is just about the cutest place ever! We enjoyed beautiful, sunny, 70 degree weather the whole time we were there!

First things first, Luke needed to give Jack some Root Beer. Which I happen to think is disgusting, but Jack seemed to love it :)

Soon after we arrived at Jim and Dawn's house, Jack discovered his new favorite thing to do: walking the dog! These two kept each other busy for hours!!

This was a different day, but I wanted to group all the dog walking pictures together. Just for the record, I did not let my son walk around like this :)
Thursday night we went to the Disney Boardwalk for ice cream and fun. This is Uncle Jim with Jack. Jack took a real liking to Uncle Jim and Aunt Dawn.
We rarely get pictures of just the two of us anymore. I love this man!
After waiting around for a little while, Jack decided to take off!
Sophie decided to take off, too!!Uncle Jim and Aunt Dawn loving on Jack :)
Most of us at the boardwalk (Grandma and Grandpa Brumels, Uncle Jim, Jack, Me, Aunt Dawn)
Jack was so proud of himself for getting up in this rocking chair!
This is what we really went to the Boardwalk for: Beaches and Cream!! It's a 50's style restaurant that's known for their ice cream. You'll see what we ordered in the next picture. This, my friends, is called "The Kitchen Sink!" I didn't get a picture of it before we started digging in. Basically it's a bunch of scoops of ice cream with candy mixed all in it and tons of toppings! And a WHOLE CAN of whipped cream! YUM!!!
Jack eating his first Oreo. This one happened to be kinda soggy from the ice cream to begin with.
Me and Aunt Dawn enjoying our Kitchen Sink.... and yes, we ate everything but the kitchen sink :)
A short video of Jack enjoying some ice cream.

Friday we explored a little bit of Mount Dora, then spend some time out by the pool. It was really nice weather for laying out, but too cold for me to get in the water. Jack and Luke enjoyed splashing in it, though.
This kid loves water so much!
I love these two! I wouldn't pick Jack up when he was all wet, but Aunt Dawn is much nicer than I am :) I LOVE this picture! All the cousins (minus Jack): Luke, Nick, Jake, Ben, Sophie, and Sarah in the front.

We had so much fun with Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins in Mt. Dora! I can't wait 'til we get to go visit again! Thanks for having us Uncle Jim and Aunt Dawn!!
