Our Annual Trip to Florida

Thanks Alex (a 2nd grader from church) who had a
school project to send "Flat Stanley" to as many places
as possible. His Stanley got to go with us to Florida.
We took Abby's Flat Stanley with us when she
had the same school project several years ago.

Up, Up, and Away!!

The Great Floating Abby

The goggles act like sunglasses for this blue-eyed babe.

Whoever invented swimming noodles is brilliant!

Do you think we swam long enough?
Abby's wrinkled hand test is proof!

And you thought raisins had wrinkles...
Molly's hand after it was a little water-logged.

Golf anyone?

Still perfecting the golf swing.

Time out for a photo on the mini golf course.

Molly all curled up in a shell at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa.

Abby is a little taller than Molly and
doesn't quite fit in the same shell...

We had a fun afternoon at the Florida Aquarium.

The three girls...

Paul driving the "Vette."
Paul's mom's hubby's new "grown up boy toy."

We love Grandma Rita!

Another Florida vacation comes to an end...

One more picture with the Florida palm trees!

At the airport before heading back home.

Since Paul's mom/Grandma Rita and her Paul live in Florida, it seems we make an annual trek to visit. This year my Paul managed to get an incredible deal for our flights, so we ended up taking the girls out of school for three days to go for this year's visit. The weather there was great (we did have one afternoon of rain, but we had already had our share of swimming for the day, so it didn't matter to us). We didn't go to Disney this time, but we did have an afternoon at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, which was fun. We do like to take these little vacations to Florida.
