This is the last Florida post I promise. But I had so many iPhone pics from our trip instead of dividing them out according to posts, I decided to do a whole post with just pictures from my phone.
Early morning wake up call but all worth it to go on vacation!!!!
First time our toes touched the sand on this vacation....excited kids!!!
Ok so I have been allergic to shrimp my whole life. I have never eaten seafood other than fish and I have come to the age where I decided it was time to try it. So since Jay and Brandon cooked fresh shrimp several nights, on TWO occasions I took one bite just to see if I would have a reaction to it. And I did NOT! Yah! I was so excited. So now I will eat a little more each time in hopes that I am no longer allergic and can attempt to "try" shrimp, crab, lobster and all the other goodies I have never had. My sushi menu just got a whole lot BIGGER!!!!
After we took family pics on the beach, we took the kids to get ice cream at Marble Slab for a reward. It was YUMMY!
One afternoon when it was raining we got out to shop and play for a while. Of course we made a stop by Bass Pro Shop one of Brayden's favorite places.
Ok so I am not normally a fan of places like Golden Corral but my mom had taken the kids there when they were here before and the kids loved it because they had a chocolate fountain and "chicken on a bone" as Brayden calls it (fried chicken). So we promised them one night we would take them. The food was just ok but it was worth the kids getting so excited.
Sunrise footprints in the sand...
We had quiet time/coffee together as a family most mornings....4 out of 5 of us drink it EVERY morning!
Brayden and his shark boogie board got well acquainted over the week...
Lucy and the waves had a love hate relationship! She liked them but didn't like that they knocked her down a time or two (or ten). So one day she was eating cheese and crackers and was holding it up so it wouldn't get wet. It made me laugh!
HarryT frisbee's...favorites by all!
On the harborwalk, the kids love to feed the fish!
Riding the bus to the ferry that took us to shell island...
Obviously Shell Island...Karis LOVED finding shells!
Crab at Shell Island....
Brayden found and caught this crab all by himself at Shell Island using only this net. Go Brayden!
Beach babe!
Can't wait until next year!!!!
