Summer Fun!

Woah! It has been an incredible summer!! I havent had this much time off since HIGH SCHOOL! Maverick Darrel and I just got back from Florida... woohoo! It was a BLAST! We took pics at the state lines as Darrell requested:

We also took Maverick out at each state line ;-) For some reason he just looooved pooping in LA ;-) hehehehehe.....

As for our vacation- It was amazing! Got to hang out with my parents a whole lot!

We even got to go to the beach with them! Darrell and I went 3 days in a row- first with my momma:

Then we went to Cocoa Beach with Karla:

Hanging out at the beach with Karla- was just awesome! :-)

We were all just so relaxed and enjoying every bit of it! Even found us a "Beach Walker" 

yup...thats right.... she stopped her power walk right in front of our set up... and practiced her YOGA MOVES!!!!!

She was wearing a USA themed suit.... so Darrell took off his hat and sang the National Anthem accordingly.

The next day we went with my Daddy :-) And he was soooo excited... taking a Wednesday off from work, going to the beach with us- that took the role of bartender... and everytime our cooler was empty- there he went searching for a place around us to reload.. at one point he came back with bud light and a pizza! HILARIOUS!

On our last day there my brother and family all drove in from Texas!! It was a surprise for my mom, and when she walked in to Bella jumping up and yelling, "SURPRISE" We all thought she might have had a minor heart attack.... probably not the best of ideas we have had... but after 15 FULL seconds of silence and swaying.. my mom snapped out of it and realized what was going on :-)

And so we did what we the Koakowskis do best: we celebrated with lots of Caipirinha drinks and lots of Meat :)

Here is a quick peak at Sophia growing....

Ohhh and of course, how could i forget!! We went to see the DUCKS at the Peabody Hotel!!!

Quick side note of the story of the Peabody:

 Each morning, promptly at 11 a.m., the hotel's atrium lobby is the scene of a remarkable ritual. In a special elevator, the five North American mallard ducks, four hens and one drake, comprising The Peabody Ducks, descend from their $100,000 penthouse Royal Duck Palace.

When the elevator doors open, The Peabody Ducks, accompanied by their crimson-and-gold- braid-jacketed Duck Master™, take up their positions on a plush red carpet and begin The March of The Peabody Orlando Ducks to the strident tones of John Philip Sousa's King Cotton March.

My daddy talked about this every since he had stayed at the Peabody on visit like 30 years ago... FINALLY i went :-) it was about 15 seconds of a sshow... but soooo worth it! I could not believe my eyes! These little guys are all in a line coming out of the elevator to music and a conductor! All the way down a red carpet and into their fountain!!!
