Warm Sunny FLORIDA!!!

I think all of us had a count down to Florida as soon as the ice storm hit. We only had to wait 3 weeks before we knew we would be in the pool in Florida. As you can see Megan was super excited to be in the pool with her cousins at Grandma and Papa Schutte's house in Florida. This was the first time that Megan has been in a pool without us closely watching her. She loves her "swimmies" and is officially part fish!

Megan LOVES her Conary! I don't think they were ever apart for more than 10 minutes. She adores him and would like to name the future Baby Schutte "Conary" (FYI we do not know if we are having a boy or a girl) Lucky for us, Conary loves Megan's and loves playing with her. With only a 10 year age difference it is always fun to watch them together.

Of course now I can't remember what Megan called this, but I think she called this her Motor Boat, but only when she was sitting on the noodle this way. She would scoot all over the pool in her "boat" It was cute!

Megan and Conary again. But more importantly...Papa is in the pool!!! More than once the grandkids got Papa in the pool with them,they loved it!

And she out! I think about 2 minutes before I took this picture she swore she wasn't tired and she just wanted to sit next to Conary to eat her snack next to Conary. Then when I checked, she was in the most uncomfortable position sound asleep! I wedge a pillow under her and then took this picture :)

To the beach! It wasn't long before Kelsey was buried under sand. Then it was Crystal's turn and Megan loved pouring sand all over them. She didn't quite understand that pour sand on their face wasn't good.

Very delicate. For the record, I was hiding out in the tent (pale white girl) hence the big area of shade on the sand.

Let's all dig a hole...and that is what they did. By the time this hole was done, I think it was about 4 feet X 2 feet X 3 feet deep! The kids ended the beach day by spending about 30 mins seeing who could jump the furthest.

Conary was off fishing with some friends and he caught a very tiny seahorse. This little guy was about an inch long when his tail wasn't coiled up. We kept him in the bucket long enough for everyone to see him, then we let him go.

Megan and Aunt Tracie looking for seashells to put in Papa shell garden.

Then after some Geocaching we met up with every for ice cream. Megan picked "Sponge Bob" ice cream, to my knowledge she has never seen the show Sponge Bob, but she wanted the ice cream. After a few tries, my best guess is that SB ice cream is just bright yellow cookie dough ice cream. It was good, and very very yellow!

Then after ice cream we had to o putt-putting! Megan was promised a game of putt-putting before we even made it to Florida and asked to go everyday. It was HOT and she loved putt-putting with Daddy and her cousins.

Team #1: Megan, Crystal and Mark had plenty of time to take photos, because Team #2" Conary, Caila and Kelsey had a little trouble getting the hang of this very challenging game :) It was fun, but after being outside all day in 90+ heat, we were ready to go home and swim in the pool. It was a great vacation can't wait for the next one!
