*** ☼ Florida__Fall 2009 ☼ ***

We had a wonderful time in Florida. The weather was gorgeous most of the time and made for long walks, great shelling, bike rides and fun. Here are some of the pictures from our trip. I'll just leave commentary under each in the order that they loaded up on here. :)

Sweet Kelly Joy

One of the beautiful sunsets!

Josiah, Brady, and Kayla dug this huge hole. Boy did they have a lot of people stop! :)
The sandcastle in the back was something I was able to start on but some kids on the beach ruined it before I could finish. *Arrgghhh!!!*

My Lion and the Lamb sculpture I made. :) Actually, I made two.
The first one was destroyed by some kids before I was quite done.

Miss Libby (Who lost her first tooth during our stay!)

Josiah and Brady took their skateboard stuff down with them and went to Sarasota's
super cool skate park. They had a lot of fun although first time there Brady sprained his wrist pretty bad and had to get a splint!

We had a couple windy/stormy days that kicked the surf up a bit. Derek took advantage of the weather to try out some surfing!

There were lots of birds...

The Shelling Sisters

THE shelling beach. Great shelling there always but especially this time! You should see the two HUGE shells the two littlest girls found!
