Our Trip to Florida!

The trip started with snow-blowing at 5:30am
After an hour delay to get the one guy that could clean ice off part of the engine we were on our way



Nathan looking like a seasoned traveler with his drink, snacks and tablet.

Elly and I took pictures of the coast


Elly and Nathan were ready to jump in the pool the minute we got to grandma and papa's house






We went for a walk to gather materials for fairy houses

Playing with bubbles

Ready for a day at the beach!


....and grandma was worried they wouldn't gave enough sunscreen on...

Bulldozer at Siesta Beach







Looking for shells





Little Elly, big Elly


Sand Doodles



Coconut cocktails


A different sounding doorbell was very exciting


Working on the fairy house













Tie dye time






The rental mini-van was also very exciting.

Lunch at Sharky's



Freezing at the end of the very windy pier








Elly getting progressively more drenched





We stopped to see an alligator 


Papa's grand entrance 

Listening to papa play all of his instruments

Recorder band


The finished fairy houses

The great tie dye unveiling 








Picking some oranges

Making some fresh orange juice

Checking out the shell store







Nathan picked out a parrot 




Mommy's birthday!






Elly and Nathan made lots of sticker art for the fridge 



Elly helping Nathan write

Jetty





We saw two dolphins



Caspersen Beach




Elly found a shark tooth on her first try


Doodles wanted to play in the minivan instead of on the beach




And back to the pool

Not too cold for the tough northerners 

Hanging out at O'Hare
