Florida!

I finally got all of our vacation pictures up!  I have so many pictures, I could not decide which ones to put up!  We had so much fun!  I am so thankful our family got to do on such a great vacation together!  I can not wait until next summer!
I put so many pictures up you will have to click on "older post" when you get to the bottom of each page if you want to see all of them!

Day five...

This was Friday.  Our last day for the beach.  We went to the beach again first thing in the morning.  We stayed for a few hours and then it started raining.  It was suppose to rain every day we were there and this was the only day the rain kept us from the beach.  After the beach we went back to our house to wait out the rain so we could go swimming.  It didn't stop raining until about 8 or so that night.  We went to the pool and swam that night and had so much fun!  Even though it rained on our last day we still got to do the two things we wanted to do on our last day the beach and the pool!!

Pretty girl!

 Daddy and Avery playing

 Brody was happy to eat his chips in his chair!

 My favorite guys!!

 Avery was soaking it all in and enjoying the beautiful view.

We left the next morning and drove home.  We drove straight through and again we had such a great trip home.  I am so thankful the two car rides went so smoothly.  We had so much fun in Florida.  We can not wait to go back next year.  We were all so sad to come home and not get to wake up to the beach every morning.  Mimi and Paga are so sweet and we are so thankful we got to spend a week with them.  Thank you for the best vacation yet!  We are counting down the days until next year!!!

Florida Day Four...

We woke up the next morning and went straight to the beach!

 My sweet safe girl would not take this life jacket off at all.  I am glad I have taught her to be safe and proud of her for wanting to make sure she is always safe.  But, she would not take it off for anything not even when she was up on the shore sitting in a chair or playing in the sand!

 Brody was not happy to be at the beach or the ocean.  He did not want to leave that chair.  He sat there for at least an hour just eating his crackers and watching everyone else.  Finally we convinced him to get in the ocean and eventually he walked on the sand.  After that it was like he had always loved it and had so much fun!

 Sweet Mimi and Avery!

 Me and my favorite girl!!

 I love these two soooo much!!!!

 peace...

 Avery was doing some modeling for me...

 We went back to the house after the beach to get ready for a fun night!

 Love this picture.  It captures her genuine smile...I can hear her laughing when I see this picture!  She is so happy!

 Avery became best friends with this ice cream man.  We got ice cream from him just about every day that we were there.  He did tell us we were his best customers!  Avery was so sweet and drew the ice cream man a picture.  He said that no one had ever done that for him!  =(  He asked her if she wanted to come inside the ice cream truck.  She was sooooo excited!

 That night we went back to the boardwalk to watch the fireworks.

 Mimi and Paga with their grand babies!

 Avery wanted to get her face painted!

 So pretty!  She was so proud of her butterfly!

 They also got balloon hats.  Avery had a flower and Brody got an airplane!

 It was so much fun and the fireworks were really good!!!

 When we got home Avery and Daddy practiced their cheerleading skills!

Brody was laughing at them!  We had such a fun day and night!
