Garrett found a big shell

loving the sand

eating supper on the beach

gorgeous sunset on the beach

I know it has been about two weeks since we got back from Florida, better late than never right?! We had a great time and the kids were really great. We actually took two different DVD players but only ended up needing one. The kids were so great on the trip down and back, my mom or dad sat back w/ them most of the time and I sat in the passenger seat. We went to the beach in my grandma's town the day we got there and the kids loved it. Garrett liked splashing around in the water but Elizabeth hated it!! She loved playing in the sand though- she was crawling around in it and demolishing all the sand castles that grandpa and Garrett made. :o) On Tuesday my mom and I went shopping and the kids stayed home w/ great grandma K and grandpa Dennis. We went to the Ringling Brothers Museum which we thought Garrett would be more excited about b/c he is in the circus here but he could have cared less! It was getting kinda cloudy but we were only half an hour away from Siesta Key and I really wanted to see that gorgeous white sand. I am so glad we went that day b/c the waves were huge!! My mom, Garrett, grandma K and I were getting tossed around in the waves and it was so much fun!! Mom, the kids and I went to Fort Myers beach on Wednesday evening to watch the sunset from the beach. We even ate right there on the beach. The sunset was really pretty!! It did get kinda chilly when the sun was starting to set so we put jackets on the kids. We went to a water park on Thursday and that was Garrett's favorite part! He went on the big green slide with grandpa a few times, went on the lazy river a dozen times and overall was so good that day! Lizzy actually fell asleep on grandma K while we were there. I actually got to lay on my stomach on the innertube and the baby kicked the innertube a few times which felt really weird! I think this is enough of a post for now. I will post in a minute about our trip home.
