After spending a few days in Robert's mission areas, we met up with my family in Miami to go on a cruise; our first cruise! We spent 4 kid-free days going to Key West and Cozumel and it was a blast (our kids stayed with Robert's brother David and his wife Mandy, and had their own fun with their cousins...Thank you, thank you David and Mandy!!!)

While in Florida, we took a boatride through the Everglades. It was beautiful but we went during the hottest part of the day, so we didn't see too much wildlife. The boat captain scared us several times when he jumped down from up above though. Seriously, you need to not jump out at people when they are looking for alligators :)

This giant iguana guy was chillin' on the lawn in front of church. Pretty cool.

   Back in May, we got to go on a vacation we have wanted to do since we got married. We got to go back to Robert's mission and meet the people he worked with in the Ft. Lauderdale mission. It was such a great experience and one that we will never forget. We got to stay with the Wilson family for a few days and also got to visit the Lustig's. To see how much Robert loved these people from his mission was amazing. We could see how happy they were to be living the gospel of Jesus Christ and our faith was strengthened from their testimonies.
