Bike the Drive

Drew participated in his 1st Bike the Drive on Lake Shore Drive today. It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect for a bike ride. Drew enjoyed people watching in the comfort of his bike trailer. In fact, he was so comfortable he fell asleep several times on our 15 mile bike ride. Next year we'll have to attempt to complete the whole ride, which is a total of 30 miles.

So sleepy...

Drew was so tired during lunch, he started dozing off before he was done eating.

Ft. Lauderdale Fun

So we spent a few days hanging out in Ft. Lauderdale after we got back from the Keys. Drew spent a lot of time taking walks with Florima and just relaxing. Daddy got him a pool that he splashed around in. We had lunch with Daddy's co-worker Jen one day and also visited the Fuentes. We closed out the week with a visit to the beach where Drew got to experience the sand and surf. He was a little hesitant about the sand and salt water at first but finally warmed up and had a good time. He can't wait to come back for more!

Part 1:

So the family has been hanging out in Florida the past few days. We flew in to Ft. Lauderdale last Saturday and headed straight to Big Pine Key after a brief stop at La Bamba (mommy's fave cuban restaurant) and Florima's (grandma Swecker's new name) house. We stayed for four days in the Keys just kicking back and chillaxing! Drew loved Rob and Heather's pool...he couldn't get enough of it! He also made a new friend. Daddy's friends Kevin and Colleen brought their little girl, Kiera, down. We also got to go out on Rob's boat one evening to watch the sunset. Although, the water was so soothing, Drew fell asleep and missed it. Oh well, we're sure he'll see another one soon. So we caught plenty of rays at the pool and z's on the hammock, which Drew loved!

Southernmost point in Key West
Anyway, so we're back in Ft. Lauderdale for a few more days at Florima and Floripa's house. Drew caught a little cold somewhere along the way so he's trying to recuperate. We'll be hitting the beach when he feels better! Stay tuned for part 2...
