Some Of Our Favorite Animal Pics

" Hey Dell ! Is that Dad?!?! "

" We Love This Zoo !!!! "

The first of many things we had to pry Jordan away from.
They loved the dinosaur exhibit.
Jordan loved this turkey. I had to watch closely to make sure he

he didn't try to pluck him!
The little chirping bird....
.....and the squawking one !

Last Morning In The Keys

Good Morning Sunshine!
Jacob........I know you're in thar...please open up the screeen!

~Adapted from an actual statement made by my friend Angie's

brother, Stephen,years ago when we were kids. We had locked him out of a cabin

we were playing in. It was hilarious and I've never forgotten it~

(I know some of you will appreciate that short, reminiscent story:)

" Good Morning Mommy! Do you want to join us for cereal?"

"Sure ; But we've got to hurry! We've got more fun to make up the road!"

I told you......

....... This baby loves trying to eat the beach!!!
We turned taking shells away a game.
He gave up on the beach and decided to take everyone's water instead!

Another Day, Another Beach

The preventative measure I took so Jacob would not ingest any more sand!
The boat the boys insisted was, "a pirate ship!"
And he'll keep going....
....and going.....
...and going!!

Out and About

Haley kept picking flowers. I told her I would take a picture

of a few 'cause it would last longer!!! :)

Pooped out baby!
Haley posing with her final pick.(from that day anyways.)
Jordan loved the rooster. It was cock-a-doodle-doing at us

until Jordan decided it would be more fun to chase it!

Bye-Bye rooster!

What a beautiful smile!!!

Our Waterfront Campsite

Poor Daddy! I cut his head off!
One thing I love most about my little man Jackson

is that he has an AMAZING imagination! He is ALWAYS

thinking and asking so many questions. I love that he wants to learn.

(and he can make something useful to play with out of anything! :)

You're so awesome buddy!!!!

I think this is my favorite picture of the whole trip! I walked out of the tent from laying Jacob down and was going to call for the kids to come over to roast some marshmallows.I looked up and saw this. Haley had carried her chair down to the dock and set it up and was enjoying the beautiful scenery around her! Dosn't she look so beautiful?!?!

This is Haley's favorite picture

The transportation device of choice for Jacob~
He can make that thing rock!

At The Beach

Jacob kept trying to eat the sand and seashells.
Jordan hard at work
Action Jackson- need I say more?
Beauty at the beach~
The beaches at Key West were alot different than my imagination had imagined!

They were rocky and not as clear as the Florida gulf beaches which I had

hoped they would be like. But, we all still had great fun!

On The Way

We encountered this squirrel somewhere in Georgia.

He was not afraid of us by any means. So... he joined our

picnic! We fed him Cheetos, tomatoes, grapes and everything

else Jordan took off his sandwhich!

Jordan napping

The morning after.......................

we "camped out" in our van at a Wal-Mart in Miami!

O me! That wasn't fun for Dell or I,but thats not what counts.The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever to do! Can you tell by their well rested, happy little faces?!?!

Note to ourselves: Make sure the city we plan on stopping at, isn't having some huge convention where all campgrounds or hotels in the entire vicinity have "No Vacancies."

It looks like Jackson's holding his ears on!
