We took a Florida road trip over the weekend, and just like any proud parents, we got plenty of pictures. The reason for our visit was our nephew was turning one. There was no way we could miss that. Our nephew's name is Cameron and he's six weeks older than Maddie. It was really cool to see Maddie interacting with her cousins a lot more.

Maddie has four cousins down in Florida, and they're all boys! She's the only girl. I can't wait to see how this plays out when they're all a little older. She's able to play with them more now and all of their little personalities are starting to show, which is awesome to see. We were able to do some things we'd never done on this trip.

We went to the Orlando Science Center for the first time. Also Maddie took her first trip to Trader Joes. She also went shopping at the outlets and of course went to her cousin Cameron's birthday party. Seeing Maddie playing at the Science Center just made Kelsey and I so happy. We love that she's getting more inquisitive about things.

Maddie is discovering new things every day, and we love being able to witness it. Kelsey and I said we're really looking forward to taking Maddie back when she's a little bit older and can really play with and do everything that the Orlando Science Center has to offer. It's a really cool place to visit if you're ever in the area. You can get more info about it here.

Here are some pictures from our Florida road trip over the weekend.

Right after this picture, Maddie got upset because she couldn't grab the little fuzzy balls.

I love moments like this, where I can watch Maddie learn and try new things.

Mommy had to stock up on Trader Joes snacks, which meant Maddie was riding shotgun.
