Florida 2 Grandma and Grandpa Starkey's

After saying a sad good-bye to our beautiful beach condo, we were soooo excited to have one more fun adventure--Great-Grandma and Grandpa Starkey's house! The boys thought seeing them and sleeping at their house was the most exciting thing!

The boys got to pick avocados that had fallen from the tree, and get oranges right off the branches. They were so delicious!!!

And to make it even more exciting, they boys had 2 grandmas and 2 grandpas! Grandma and Grandpa Taylor were there visiting so we got to have a wonderful afternoon with everyone.

Of course we needed a trip to walk around Lake Menzie

Unfortunately we didn't see an alligator, but Kimball decided to be one.

And to add to all the fun, we stopped at Davidson's to watch them make the most delicious candy ever, and of course to eat as many free samaples as possible :) We did purchase some to make up for what we ate (at least a little bit).

And the best part--and main purpose of the visit, was to celebrate the 90th birthday of one of the kindest, sweetest, most giving, Christ-like people I know--my Grandma Starkey!

The party crew

So, this birthday girl cannot help herself. She still had to make desert delicious (mississippi mud), a blueberry pie, and fresh fruit salad for all of us. She just can't resist spoiling everyone who comes to her home. This next picture is one of those little touches that makes my grandma so amazing. She sectionizes all the oranges before feeding them to people. She peels off everything to get to that sweet, pure orange. I just love that lady!

We all made a book for great-grandma: 90 things we love about you.

The boys got a lesson about wood working in Grandpa's garage, and a counting/money lesson from grandma.

Joey found this giant snail at the Lake and was so sad to have to leave it in Florida.

We ended our trip to Dundee with some yummy Denny's before heading to the airport, Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! We LOVED getting to visit you!
