Florida

Saturday we returned home from a week long trip to Florida. It was so nice...hot, but so nice just to getaway! We visited the beach which the kids LOVE, they could live there! So could I, I would've been happy to just stay there! ;)

We also did a nature cruise which was 3 1/2 hours. It was nice, but I think it may have been a little to long for the kids. Ella of course took a few naps! Thankfully the boat was covered and there was a bit of a breeze. We mostly saw birds and a few alligators which were a little difficult to see as they didn't come up out of the water. Just their eyes peering at us was pretty much all we saw and that's okay with me! We snapped a few pictures, but I don't have good lens so I couldn't zoom in like I wanted to! Oh well...we did enjoy it. After we went to eat and we did see a few dolphins while we were eating they were all over the place!

I just love this freckled face girl! We got to have a mani/pedi day while we were in Florida. It was so much fun!

Thankfully this trip didn't include any visits to the ER with Tyler or the girls! We really had a good time, it's the ride home that's a killer! Ella is still in the infant seat and wants to sit up so bad that she wasn't happy and had a few moments of scream therapy. Poor thing, but gotta stay safe!

Tyler got to visit the Veteran's Memorial Museum, that is heaven to him!

He LOVES that stuff!

Sadly Summer is coming to an end for us as the kids start school next week! Tyler goes into middle school and Ally will start 2nd grade. I'm not crazy about the whole middle school scene so we'll see how it goes and go from there. I'd love to put my kids in a private school, but unfortunately that's not something we can afford right now. What I'd really like is for my kids to stay with me forever and never leave for anything....but that's a bit selfish right! So it will be Ella and myself while bubbie and siser are in school!

Enjoy the vacation pics!!
