The Shepherd-Aguiar family is in Florida for the next few days!
During this trip, Averie is going to meet everyone in her family for the very first time!
Averie was adopted a few weeks after Luca was born, and none of Will and RJ family members were able to meet her due to the Coronavirus and the lockdowns all over the United States.
But luckily, the Coronavirus has gone down some, so Will, RJ and all six of the kids were able to fly from California to Florida to visit their family for a few days!
Right now, Will, RJ, Benji, Coralei, Averie, Theodore, Harlow and Luca are all in the car and they are heading to visit Grandma Janice!
Grandma Janice lives in a nursing home and luckily she is still able to have visitors visit her. A lot of nursing homes are shut down due to Coronavirus.
RJ is driving while Will is sitting in the passenger seat and he is checking his emails.
