Mr. One-liner

Vincenzo has been our entertainer. He has a lot of one-liners that keeps this family laughing.

Two-headed monster

During the entire vacation (and at least one month prior to) Rocco has only wanted Andy. Even though there have been moments when it was frustrating, Andy has enjoyed the special time they have had together.

Day at the beach

Vincenzo got buried in the sand at the beach. On the way to our car he also go an opportunity to pet a tortoise. However, even more exciting was the five-feet long creature that swam up to Andy while he did a small swim out in the ocean. From the beach it looked like a shark. Andy says he didn't hang out long enough to find out.

Woody and Jesse

Vincenzo and Giuseppe got an amazing opportunity to meet some Toy Story characters while we were waiting to ride Splash Mountain.

Chillin at the pool

The weather has been perfect while in Florida. The pool got a good dose of the four Gottfried boys.
