We had a wonderful vacation to Florida to visit Nathan, Nikki, and family. The trips there and back were long, but rather uneventful. Ella had a hard time toward the end of each trip, but did quite well for an 18 month old. The weather while we were there was perfect. High 70s to low 80s. 

On one of the days Nathan and Nikki took us to Emerson Point Park. The kids played along the shore for a little while and then we did some hiking.
Annie and Kendra were buddies the whole week. When the week was over we asked her what her favorite part of being in FL was and she said "Playing with Annie".

I wasn't sure exactly where Isaac would end up fitting in with the girls, but he and Joy played so well. We hardly even knew that they were there half of the time!


Love this!





 Wrigley is even cuter in person!

The kids spent lots of time in the pool. Isaac loved the water. By the end of the week he was swimming without his life jacket.


Kendra really warmed up to the water too.


We went to the beach as a family on one day. It was beautiful. The kids loved swimming and looking for shells. Ella had the most fun terrorizing the sea gulls!




 We also went to the beach with Nathan and Nikki one evening to have supper and to see the sand castles that were part of a contest that was going on. This is a sand castle behind me and the girls. It was huge!




Thanks for a wonderful time Nathan and Nikki!
