Vacation 2011

I have to be honest, I don't really know where to begin with this blog, but I will start from the beginning. June 21st Andy, Ben, Sam and I drove to Orlando, to meet our Forbes family for a week in a condo. We had the BEST time! We had breakfast with the characters, the boys played golf, took family pictures, went swimming, and the BEST part of it all was just being together in the condo. My boys LOVE their cousins, and really it was time to be with each other. We look forward to this time every year.

This is the whole Forbes clan! (Minus Mimi & Pops)

This is what our nights were like at our condo in Orlando!

Mimi cooked nearly every night, and always had helpers:)

Our breakfast with the characters!


BUT, the real adventure began when on June 28th Mimi, Ben, Sam & I hopped in my mini-van and set out for Stillwater, OK, a 24 hour drive!



On our way we stopped in Muskogee, OK, to spend some time with our extended family, 4 of the 11 boys in the Calavan family! Surprising to many of you, if not all of you, the drive was not bad at all!



Riding the tractor with Mimi in the 100 degree heat, was their FAVORITE thing to do in Oklahoma!


At work with Mimi.


Lunch break at Chic Fil-A!

Sharing like "good" brothers!

In the heat Mimi still pulls them around!

After church in our Sunday best.

Helping Mimi make his birthday cake.

At 12:30am she is still working on Ben's cake!

But it was worth it! Better than any cake I have EVER paid for! Thanks Mimi!
