Florida 2009

After I finished up the semester, Joshua & I headed to Orlando, Florida with the fam to soak up some much needed sun & relaxation!! My little brother lives in Orlando, so we booked a condo in New Smyrna beach for us all to stay. We went with my dad, Matt & Katie, and Linz & Steven. It was so much fun to just lay around at the beach and pool and spend time with the family. We are hardly ever together in one place, so it was nice that everyone was together.


One of numerous attempts at a normal family picture. This was the best we could do considering Matthew doesn't know what normal is.

The girls.


Matt & Katie
(Matt... why must you be so awkward all the time?)


Side note: Matt is on a 90 day work out plan called P90X. X stands for Xtreme. He reported a self-rating of 86 out of 90 on the Xtreme Scale.


According to that estimate... he'll look like this in no time...


Lindsay & Steven also enjoyed Florida. However, Steven may or may not be dead in this picture due to a lethal combination of over-exposure to UV rays, sunscreen, and high dosages of the Smith family.


In fact, I think the only way he survived the week was by taking these...



Josh & I had a great time exploring the beach...

And taking funny pictures...




Awkward sea turtle...



Me soaking up the sun.

Linz & Katie playing in the waves. Fact: Lindsay does not go past her knees in the ocean.

Right before Josh made me go dive into the waves with him and I stepped on what might have been an electric eel.

Fun times in the mini-van. We are all now believers in the mini-van. They have sliding doors and spacious leg room and fit the 8 of us quite comfortably. And you can open the doors with the click of the keys. But why oh why do they have to look like mini-vans??



Ice Cream at the Pier. Josh went the whole week without ice-cream. I have no idea how he survived.


Andrew looking angry that I'm taking his picture but on the inside he is happy as can be to document this fun-filled occasion. Don't let that death stare fool you.


Matt... you are looking pretty good. Even Andrew thinks so.

On our last day of the trip, Josh & I went to Orlando with Andrew to watch his Ultimate Frisbee game. All I can say is intense. I don't think I have ever heard the "F" word so many times - and I don't mean "Frisbee." Andrew is really good and even made some impressive dives and throws for his team. Way to go Drewbs. I had to be sneaky sneakerson in taking pictures because Josh informed me that it was not cool to have you sister take pictures of you like the paparazzi. Lame. But here is a good one of Andrew being the most awesome player on the team.


Still to come: SEAWORLD & Starfish!
