Pictures on the Beach

We attempted pictures on the beach one night.....

 This is the best I could get of the three kids.

 Drew spent the entire time trying to run into the water.  This is the only picture I have that is not of the back of his head or a blur of him running!

Last Day on the Beach

We spent our last day in Florida back on the beach and in the pool. 

The cookie shop was back in business!

 Drew decided he loved the water.  He would just yell "go" and then run into the water until he fell or someone caught him!

 Aunt Dodie brought us out 2 kites.  Taylor and Ben had fun flying them!

 Back in the pool for one last swim!

Busch Gardens

Last Wednesday, Troy and I took Taylor to Busch Gardens in Tampa.  The three of us had a great time and it was such an easy day with just her!!!  The boys stayed back at the beach and had a lot of fun too.  Taylor loved all the kid rides and there was plenty for her to do.  It was not crowded at all so she got to ride everything as often as she wanted!!!

 They also have lots of animals there....petting a kangaroo!

 We spent a lot of time in the Sesame Street Safari of Fun!  It was a great area just for little kids.  She liked this big bouncy pillow, the splash pads, and of course the rides.  They also had a short live Sesame Street show we watched.

 We also bought a cup of nectar to feed the lorikeet birds.

 We were attacked by birds!!!!  Here is one landing on Taylor's head!

 Stare down with the white tiger!

 Back in the Sesame Street area we went on more rides,

 and met some characters!

 We ended the day with the gorillas.....Taylor was so tired at this point!!!!

We had a great time and look forward to taking the boys when they get bigger!

Beach and Pool

We basically spent all day everyday at the beach and pool.  The kids all did a great job in the pool.  I was hoping to get Taylor to take off her floats and actually swim more, but she couldn't even touch in the shallow end, so that didn't happen.

 Another favorite spot was Big Olaf's.  We love ice cream!!!

 The kids LOVED the beach.  They would stay busy for hours.  The boys were not afraid to get all sandy and loved playing with the hill, tunnels, and trucks.  Taylor preferred to open up her own cookie shop!

Spring Break - 2013

We just got back from a week in Siesta Key, FL.  We had great weather and a great time!!! The kids were soooo good the whole time!  We got in late Friday night, so we stayed at Aunt Dodie's house one night before our condo was ready.  Taylor was in her pool by 9:30 in the morning!

 After our condo was ready we were able to get in a little evening beach time.

The next morning we hit the beach and the pool!

 Sunday night we went and saw the drummers "drum the sun down"!

 I took over 350 pictures on vacation so I'll keep posting as I go through them!!!!
