Florida -Part 2

On our second full day we headed to Anna Maria Island to the beach.  It turned out to be a good beach day, and the kids had tons of fun!

That night we went to dinner at the Linger Lodge, a place that sits right on the bayou

Camille and Grandpa, after dinner.  She was all about Grandpa on this trip!

Florida Fun!

Well I am skipping ahead because I am hopelessly behind, but I did not want to forget to share the great pictures from our family trip to Florida in early October.  We went down to visit Gaga and Grandpa Carl, and everyone had a fantastic time!

Ready to go (still dark outside)!

After a cancelled flight and being rerouted through a different city, we found ourselves in Bradenton 

The kids loved the pool!

Grady found a friend - a gecko

The next day we headed to the Mote Aquarium!

Grady and the jellies

Sea dragons - they are hard to see until you look closely

Touch tank!

Touching a sea cucumber

Panning for shark teeth and other treasures

Brothers

Camille is enjoying hanging out in a giant shark's mouth!

That afternoon we had a little pool party with family we don't see very much - Uncle John, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Barbara, and Uncle Ed - as well as a few friends

Uncle John brought them the boat, which they LOVED!

Grady really enjoyed building Legos with Aunt Barbara!

It was really great to see everyone and the kids had fun!

To be continued, since there are so many great pictures to share...

Random Camille

Since I spend so much one on one time with Camille now, while her big brothers are in school, I often snap random pictures of her playing or just being cute.  Here are a few...

She loves apples!

It hasn't really been chilly much yet this year, but she did really want to try on her new winter jacket from Nana

Having fun scooping rice

She loves to try on any type of shoes!  Here she is in Grady's boots

Enjoying a little playground time

She loves her new stroller and asks to go on walks all the time

She also really enjoys riding on the rocking horse that was originally Grady's.  she actually rides it a lot more than he ever did!

She is just such a happy, easygoing girl!
