Last week we went on our first family vacation as a family of 4 to Ft. Meyers, Florida! It was so much fun. We went with Brad's family-everyone was there except for Joey's girlfriend, Whitney (who is spending her summer in Alaska doing an internship). It was great to all be together and to have such a grand adventure! There are tons of pictures so enjoy!
Florida, Here we come!!!!!
Gwen loved Wyatt's tent/bed. She even tried to get in it!
"I'm ready for the beach!"
"This is the life...the sound of waves, shade under my own umbrella, and a nap"
They were at it again building a castle at Ft. Meyers Beach
During a trip to the Everglades, Auntie Ashley got Wyatt smiling big time!
"Joey, the alligator is over there! Don't get too close!"
One of many alligators we spotted
"What do you think? I think I look a little like Sir Elton!"
"I think I look like a flamingo!"
Gwen won't get any closer to the alligator...she thought it was still alive just sleeping!
Brad, Gwen, and I went on an air boat ride through the Everglades and this guy and 2 of his buddies came a long for the ride!
Speeding through the Mangroves...
5 minutes in to the ride...
She woke up half-way through and loved it!
Wyatt loved hanging a the pool
Gwen liked the pool too...it was her beach
Wyatt was all smiles even when it was time for bed! Gwen just read him a story too :-)
We got to ride on a very nice boat while we were in Florida...
Wyatt and I chilling as we watched for dolphins
Gwen and Joey got the camera for a bit--this was one of many pictures...but at lease I can tell who the picture is of!
A dolphin!!!!!
We had lunch at a restaurant that had lots of wooden parrots all over
We even saw real pirates!
Gwen attempted a nap while heading back to the marina...it was a no go
Back at Ft. Meyers beach, some kids found this baby hammerhead shark!
"Do it again Joey!"
I don't know who was having more fun!
A day trip in Sanibel proved to still have tons of shells...Gwen loved picking them out to bring home.
Wyatt just loved being with everyone!
Hanging out after lunch was always fun, especially with Gwen as entertainment
"I'm attacked!!!!"
Gwen riding her own bucking bronco!
"Okay Gwen, now it is my turn!"
This says it all...we had a great trip and loved every minute! Gwen just couldn't make it awake to baggage claim once off the plane and the vacation ended...
