Spring Break!!!

E - Now that I am in Kindergarten, I get a Spring Break.  We went to Florida!  We went to a place called Seacrest, which is in the panhandle.  Think white sand beaches and beautiful clear blue water.  It was GORGEOUS.  But that is starting off in the wrong place.  Let's start at the beginning.  We DROVE there as in, a car trip!  We made it a two day excursion, so we wouldn't get too bored being in the car for so long, as the total trip is about 10 hours driving, plus potty breaks, lunch, etc.  It was a good trip.  Momma bought some new fun games and toys and some cool new pens for coloring.  I was busy the entire time!  Auntie drove down there with us, and G and Poppy met us there.  It was a family vacation!

One time we stopped later than we should have for lunch, and Reid got so hungry he decided to eat Momma's arm! 

The house we stayed in was AMAZING.  In my room, there were two sets of bunk beds (meaning, there were 4 BEDS in there) and I slept on each of the beds, sometimes all in the same night!  And there was a beanbag to match each bed, so I brought them downstairs for us to sit on in the living room. 

When we first got to Florida, it was rainy, so we stayed inside and played games.  Auntie got me a new game called " Go Ape", which was so much fun, we played it about a zillion times.  And that is NO exaggeration! 

Here I am at the beach with G!  Did you know that G grew up in California?  She loves the beach!  Me too.  I think my words were "This is AWESOME".  I loved looking for seashells.


 

 

Here are Momma and Reid at the beach!
 
 
 

And Daddy and Reid watching the waves.
 

My favorite thing was to go out far onto the sandbar and then JUMP the waves with Auntie and Daddy. 

Auntie bought these TINY kites, they were called Microkites.  If you look in the upper left corner, you can see the kite and it's little tail flying! 

 

And look at this!  We were right next to ELYSEE beach!  Did you know I have my own beach???  Yep.  Pretty amazing, huh?

 

We bought this great game called Spring Ring.  See how G and I each have a round ring in our hands?  You bounce a ball back and forth using the rings.  You can see the ball in-between us, it's blue.

 

 Daddy buried me in the sand all the way to my knees!!!

   

Ahhh, relaxation.  Is the beach great or what?

 

As you can see, we had a marvelous time at the beach.  I was very sad to go.  I think we should return every year.  Momma agrees.  Well, I think we all do.  It was a wonderful vacation. 

11 months old!

 R - You  might have wondered if I just passed my 11 month birthday up or what...  See, I turned 11 months right before we were leaving for our Spring Break vacation in Florida.  so we decided to take the photos there.  Then we got home and life got crazy and we just now had time to get everything posted.  So, better late than never, right? 





I am playing with this ultra-cool snake that my Auntie brought for me.  It twists around and makes a fun noise.  It is great.  She finds the coolest things! 

























And then I played with the sand kit Momma found.  It had a bundt cake pan and some ice-cream cups and cones.  Very cool. 

Thing is about sand.... it is kind of tricky.

I like to play with it.  Then I decided I should eat some and that was YUCKY!  Blech.  But THEN I rubbed my eyes with my sandy hands and that was a VERY BAD idea.  Sand in the eyes is NO GOOD.  So, sand is good to play with, for your hands and toes, but NOT good to eat or put near your eyes.  I learn something every day!










We had SO MUCH FUN in Florida.  Just wait - more pictures are coming!
