Our little family just got home from the beach last night. We had an excellent time and are both refreshed and exhausted as any good family vacation should leave you. Here are a couple shots of our adventures in Florida. The condo that we stayed was right on the water and perfect for all the gear that a family with little ones will haul out to the beach for a day of fun.
It was filled with a bunch of great birds, that O was very interested in and demanded that each one be snapped with the camera!
The kids of course had a great time on the beach. C particularly enjoyed digging up the sea creatures and transporting them up closer to our canopy to their new home to "watch them hatch". She had quite the system going on. O had fun running around like a goofy little boy, looking at all of the animals and making known every boat that sailed across our view. He also took a big interest in a boogie board.
The condo that we stayed at had a great pool and most mornings we had it all to our selves. It was nice, because I could also see and hear the ocean from the pool, so everyone was happy. Our condo had a laundry room filled with toys, so the kids had some fun stuff to play with in the pool. C in her devilish little way found the only working squirter and claimed it as her own for the whole week. O had a great time paddling his way around the whole pool in a floaty.
While on vacation we had to partake in customary vacation activities such as putt-putt and a dolphin cruise. C has deemed putt-putt as her sport for life and had a great time. O really just enjoyed the giant stick in his hand to hit things with. Both kids loved the cruise and were delighted to see dolphins in person and so up close.
To end our adventure, we could not leave the beautiful beach without taking some shots of the kids. I love how these turned out. Photo credit goes to Jay, darling beach dress props to Kathryn Sue (we love hand me downs!)
A couple of decorations and a peek at the slide show that was rolling the whole time.
