Florida Part Two



After soaking up more of the beach, we would always mosey on over to see "Hammah" and "Big Daddy" aka Grandmamma and Granddaddy!

Down the garden path toward the porch

Anna preparing to assist in the cat's bathing process...

Silly girl!

Playing Soccer in the yard! Grandpa keeps a safe distance ;) I love how my little brother looks in this picture: Like a big, ball-stalking T-Rex!

Anna and Andrew playing with water. I think she is trying to aim for his mouth, but you can tell that didn't work out!

Wet all over! What a good sport!

Ben wanted to treat my Dad to a game of golf while we were visiting but my Dad couldn't escape from work long enough...SO they dueled it out with the Wii! There really were some great gestures and facial expressions during their games, I just couldn't capture them :P


It wasn't ALL fun and games in Florida. My mom had a pretty serious finger injury and fate would have it that Anna should try to follow suit. She slammed her thumb between a sliding door (with the locking mechanism poking out) and the wall. Her thumb was busted up and bloody, but didn't need stitches. In this picture, we wanted Anna and my mom to both hold up their injured hand, but Anna didn't quite get the gist ;) Can you still see her little bandaged hand?

We are lucky enough to have all sorts of awesome family practically on the same street! Here the girls play with my Aunt and their cousin:)


Howler Monkey!

Granny lives just down the street from Mom, too. Here is our Four Generations picture!


For our last supper, my parents bought us an amazing and fresh seafood dinner! When I saw it packaged as above, I thought I had better eat IT before it eats ME!
Ben getting to work! ARRR!

Oysters, Corn on the Cob, whole Crabs, grilled I-forget-what fish, Hush Puppies, and Taters, all Cajun style! YUM!!!

Oysters down the hatch! Sorry about the flash...I'm not sure why we let that happen...

Everybody chowing down!


Somehow I feel like I haven't done the experience justice. Well, we had a WONDERFUL time! To this day, Ben and I sigh and wax wistful about our Florida vacation and everyone we were able to visit there. It was so luxurious and relaxing! Thanks so much, Mom and Dad!!! Love you!!!
