Happy Easter!

Here are a few photos of Adyson at Easter. She was more interested in pulling the grass than looking at the camera.

There's sand in my diaper!

Adyson's first vacation had a working component to it, too. Debbie covered the C-USA tennis and golf championships after our two-day journey to the zoo, beach and Kennedy Space Center.

Adyson was great at the tennis championships. At the UCF tennis center, they had a sand beach volleyball court. So we thought it would be great to see if Ady would like the sand. When we were on the beach, she hated it! But maybe she just needed to get used to it. So when Debbie's friend, Danielle, came down to meet us for dinner one night, we all went out to the sand beach court.

This time, Ady loved it! She plopped down in the sand and buried her feet. Next thing you know, we had sand in our hair, our fingers, our mouth and of course our diaper. That's not exactly a pretty sight when you head out to dinner just an hour later.

The tennis championships were in Orlando, Fla. But the golf championships were out in the suburbs. We all stayed in Mount Dora, Fla. That sounds like Egypt initially, but it turns out it's a quaint little place. We somehow spent $50 at Chili's in Mount Dora, if you can believe that.

Each day in Mount Dora, Debbie was up and out the door long before 7 a.m. So Brian and Ady just slept in. Well, they slept until 7:01 a.m. That's when Ady was up wanting a bottle. She took an hour-long nap after the bottle, but Ady and Brian were basically out the hotel door by noon each day.

At the golf course, Ady crawled around the clubhouse with abandon. It's hard to keep a baby quiet at a golf course, you know? But she was great. Once the tournament was over on Tuesday afternoon, we loaded up and drove back to the Orlando airport. No sense in getting up early for a 40-minute drive down to the airport when you can have just a 4-minute drive, right? So Adyson got to stay at what Brian thought was the biggest Courtyard he's ever seen.

On the flight home, the three of us crashed the Southwest plane and had the middle seat all open. Ady slept from Orlando to New Orleans. But she was all over the place on the flight to Dallas. All in all, she had a great time on her first vacation. No sun burns, a trip to the beach and lots of memories (at least for Mom and Dad, anyway).
