Florida 101

These are some memories from Florida. This is the photo from the airline flight home - Sam screaming and Grace sleeping vertically. It was weird I was taking photos but this is what we will look back upon someday.
Standing in the back of the plane.
Fishing for fish - literally they were sick of it after 4 minutes.
All week, they raced to press the elevator buttons first... floor 17.
Gram Palmer made us ice cream sundaes!!
The manatee mailbox in Gram's neighborhood.
Gramp and Papa at their home. I love this photo because Grandpa bought Gram a rose for Valentine's day... it was on the table. Gram gave Grandpa a card that said, "to the man I love!"
We took a trolley from the parking lot to the church doors. So fun!!
Our family decked in Lilly P and palm trees! Thank you Aunt Jen!
This shows the beautiful view from the condo. Nate reads a lot of Princess novels to our girls.
My parents are firm believers in playpens because we all grew up in playpens. So they got one from the condo to use for the week and Sammy LOVED it! Go figure.
The girls playing in the cold water.
Gram talking to Sambo.
Precious Photo.
My favorite photo of all:

  3. LOL, I so understand the screaming in the plane shot. There was something about landing in Tampa that made Zack's ears rebel. No other airport -- just Tampa. Which we unfortunately had to do four times in one year.

    I love the manatee mailbox! Never, ever seen one of those before!

  4. Looks like a wonderful time!

    We are currently debating whether or not to take our 4 kids to Fla this spring. We had a lovely time there last year, but it's an expensive trip for us.

    Your post may have persuaded me! Thanks for that! :)

  5. I love the photos! It looks like you all had a great time! The photo of Sammy in the sand and water reminds me of Lil...she too loves sitting in the gritty stuff.

  7. Do they even make playpens like that anymore? Or was that an original?
