Florida Trip

Mom and I took Nolan and Ryan to Florida to visit Great Grandmom and Great Granddad. I will never fly again with a 1 year old. Ryan was hard to keep still and wanted to get down and play the whole flight. Nolan thankfully did great, he read with Grandmom or watched his DVD player. Once in Florida we had a wonderful time. We went swimming in their neighborhood pool though Ryan was unable to swim in the pool b/c he is not potty trained so he had a plastic pool to play in. By the end of the week he realized he wanted to swim in the large pool so I am looking forward to seeing him in the pool this summer. We also went to the beach which Ryan discovered sand. It didn't faze him to eat the sand, I kept thinking he would get tired of the taste but it never happened. When he got thirsty he kept trying to lay down and drink the salt water! The beach is going to be fun this summer! Great Grandmom's park has a 9 hole putt putt course that Nolan played again and again. Nolan really wanted to go to a musuem so we went to a place called the Jungle Garden where Nolan got to hold an alligator and a parrot, feed flamingo's, and see lots of animals. We also went to see the Lippazon Horses a dancing horse show where Nolan was able to ride two ponies.

This is us waiting to board the plane. The boys were excited and looking at airplanes while we waited.

Family shot, a good thing we have a timer on the camera.

Nolan holding the small parrot. He was really excited to hold the bird and not afraid at all.

My muscle man! He is holding a 5 ft. baby alligator and loving every moment of it.

We had such a great time in Florida and I look lots more pictures that are in the pic. albums. While we were in

Florida, Mathew and Sarah and the girls moved into Mom and Dad's house. We stayed for the weekend b/c I had an oncologist appointment Monday morning (everything looks great) so my boys got to play with their cousins. Ryan loved chasing Mackenzie around. She is only a few months older than Ryan and they played really well together.
