Florida Trip 2010

We were off to Fort Myers, Florida, this past week to spend some time with Lee's parents and sister and husband. Prepare for picture overload - we had lots of fun....


Making cupcakes with Gi Gi for a little early bday celebration - Aaron will be 3 in a few short weeks!

Taking off for a fun ride in Papa's corvette - "It's a wreawey fast caw, Mama!"

Uncle Spencer and Aunt Heidi:
And Jill the dog:
Aaron bonded with Jill and told me later he wanted a dog. I reminded him that they make Daddy sick and he said, "Daddy could go bye bye and Mommy and Aaron have a dog?" I laughed so hard - Lee was a little indignant at the comment =)

The guys always hang out lots in the garage making acrylic and wooden pens when we come. Aaron insisted this trip that he wanted his own green pen.... So Papa "helped" him....
He was sooooo proud of it and wants to use it all the time!
Here's a shot of all the pens Lee made for some friends:
Aaron got to go miniature golfing for the first time.....



And of course, we got to have lots and lots of beach and ocean time. It was so fun to see Aaron really enjoy playing in the water and digging in the sand. He really loved it!



This particular activity was one he did over and over again....

Papa and Gi Gi took us all out to Bahama Breeze, an amazing seafood restaurant, on our last night and the weather was pleasant enough (though I still say humid!) for us to sit outside and listen to the live music. As you know by now, Aaron is in heaven whenever there is music to watch and listen to. Click HERE for some some video of his dancing talent.

Afterward, we did one last trip to the beach and it was so gorgeous to see the sunset over the water. The water is so amazingly warm on the Gulf.....
The tide was out and we were amazed to discover hundreds of hermit crabs scrambling to get back out into the deeper waters. We had to catch some for fun (Don't worry we let them go afterward) and it was so fun. I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or Aaron. =) It was fascinating!!!!


Probably our last trip for awhile since our newest addition is arriving this fall. Thank you for a great week Papa and Gi Gi!

Looks like an amazing trip! I loved the story about the dog and laughed so hard everyone here asked why, so I had to tell them too =) Happy early birthday to Sawyer's birthday buddy. Hope it's a blast!
