So as I said we drove to Fort Myers, FL on Christmas day. We left about 3:20pm and arrived about 3:40 am. Maddox was very good in the car. We stopped about 7:30 for gas and ate dinner there and ran around with her and the dog for about 30 minutes. Then she woke up again around 11:00 for her late feeding and slept the rest of the way. She was awake playing in the car for a total of about 1 hour, maybe, and the rest she slept.
The next night we went to Thomas Edison's house/museum. Again, Maddox wasn't very excited about it because she was still sick, it was past dinner time, and almost bed time. But she made it without getting upset and she got to eat snacks the whole time and dance with Mommy in the parking lot so all was good! I just want to mention that those are my skinny jeans that I haven't worn in about 2 years. Thank you pilates. After 9 days at mom's house they don't fit anymore.
There was this plant with huge, very arid, blooms she had to check out
She enjoyed swimming in Grandma and Papa's pool. She liked to sit on the edge and kick her legs. And she liked sitting on my shoulder while I jumped up and down in the water, she laughed a lot at that! And she likes swimming with her doggie Jessi who swam about every day. She'd laugh when Jessi would swim out toward her. It looks like I have no pictures of Jessi's swimming fun, just M's.
On Sunday both of my sisters and their families arrived so we had Christmas again. For some unknown reason Maddox had a fever that night so she wasn't very interested in opening presents. Jessi seemed to think we were making her a bed. 
Papa enjoyed his new night light Maddox gave him. She wanted to be sure he had enough for all these grandkids that were visiting.
Maddox had to go to bed so she opened her stocking the next morning and played with her bounce and spin pony later in the day.
