Beach time

Several people asked us what we did while we were in Florida. We don't do any of the big parks, like Disney World. In fact we don't really do much of anything at all. We love to spend time at the beach, so honestly that is what we do.

And our girls love it! 

 I told Bill that I wanted a picture of the girls together on the beach. Of course getting them all to smile and look at the camera all at the same time is easier said than done.

 This picture does make me laugh. If you look closely Kelly has a silly smile on her face. She was laughing at her sisters! How perfect while they were making funny faces.

 Jennifer standing on her wave board with the help of Grammie of course.

 Mikayla thought it was great to get buried in the sand! We started to take some of the sand off of her and she quickly said no and started putting the sand back on.

 We did venture to a near by Children's Museum one day. The girls loved making pizza. 

And then sadly our week came to an end and we had to come back to snow and cold. We had a great time enjoying a week of sun and warmth. A special thanks to Grammie for such a fun week! 

Spring Break

For a few weeks earlier this winter there a discussion about going to Florida for spring break. At first we didn't know if it was going to work out or not. I was pretty sure it needed to work out! So we made the plans and finally picked the week that was going to work the best. And then winter set in and would not leave, in fact it still hasn't left! So we were very happy that we had made plans to leave the cold and snow, even if it was only for a few days.

This baby girl was loving to be outside! It was fun to watch her. She is definitely going to be an outside girl this summer! 

 And this girl is already an outside girl! She loved being in Florida at Grammie's. 

 Oh, this smile. This girl would swing all day if we would let her.

 How nice it was to go to the park, with no coats! The sun felt so good after being cooped up for what feels like months.

 We got to Grammie's house Friday afternoon and just did a little relaxing, But on Saturday, Jennifer was pretty sure we just needed to go to beach. So although we knew it would be a little windy and chilly by the ocean we decided to make the girl happy and head to the beach.

I wasn't sure how Kelly would like the wind or the sand. Usually if the wind hits her face she throws a little fit. But the wind on the beach did not bother her a bit! And she was all about feeling the sand. Like I said it was fun to watch her.

 Despite the chill in the air these two had to get in the water!

 And as always Mikayla was just content to play in the sand.

 After a fun day outside we ended the day with a game of Headbandz!
