Pictures and Stories - part 1

After spending a couple of days at Disney, we visited with my aunt and uncle in Inverness, FL. They live across the street from a pond and Uncle Bill called to this alligator, like you would call a dog, and the gator just swam right over to the dock. The boys fed it marshmallows and loved every minute of it.
This was at Biscayne Bay, just south of Miami. We hiked out to this area and the smell was horrible!!! If you could look to the left, you would see some kind of plant spewing out some nasty smoke. This is not a place I would encourage you to visit. Our old babysitter Julie traveled with us to Florida and it sure was nice to have another adult. This was her first spring break as a teacher, not as a college student. She got paid for vacationing and thought that was great! :)

This is at Lover's Key State Park and it was very nice. We found sand dollars, star fish, crabs and lots of shells. We also saw dolphins playing and a sting ray that was caught by a little girl's fishing pole.
Kaleb became the great crab hunter. Oh, if he only knew how fitting it was that he liked to catch crabs. Mr. Crabby catchin' the crabs.

Trevor's favorite activity was playing in the sand and then dumping water on it to try and make it harden. Our condo complex can be seen behind Trevor. It was wonderful.

This one is dark on the camera, but oh well, you get the picture. Sunset, on the beach, etc.

This was the last night at the condo. It was very relaxing and I would go back tomorrow, unless it's raining there too.

The last picture of your boys is so nice. Frameable.
I told the kids there was an alligator in the first picture and it was like a game of Where's Waldo. It was tricky to see!
Thanks for a peek into your vacation.

Mr Crabby...I love it. He looks like he's having the time of his life.
