Florida!

We went to visit my sister, Katie, and her cute family in Florida for a little over a week and we had Soooo much fun!!  We did a Ton of stuff there, so this is going to be a Long post, just warning you ;0) 

MIAMI:

Conner and Jack on their way to the park!

Kt on the Laptop, Jack with the IPad, and Conner on the cell phone.  What would we do w/o technology?!!  :0)
 All the boys playing on the computer


 This beach was Really cool!  It was kind of enclosed so no waves which made it easy to watch Conner and let him play in the warm water. It has a small separation of land in between this water and the ocean.  It was pretty cool!




We went to a Gator park in the Everglades and rode a boat all around!  We saw gators and all kinds of other animals.  It was So Rad!


The whole gang! 

The Everglades


If you look closely you can see the gator in the water.

 A group shot!  (Kt holding Jack, Pat holding Charlie, Andrew holding Conner, and Me carrying Baby Boy#2)
 After the boat ride they had a little show and this guy was telling us all kinds of facts and doing Crazy tricks with this Huge Gator!!  He also showed us a scorpion and some other creatures too.

 Then we each got to hold the gator and take pictures for a small price!

 Conner didn't like the real gator heads attached to the full bodies.  



 Inside this burger is Gator meat.  Being pregnant, it did Not sound appetizing whatsoever.  I did, however, have a small bite to say that I tried it, but I let Andrew, Conner, and Pat eat it up!

MIAMI HEAT GAME:

While we were there, Andrew and Pat went to a Miami Heat game.  Here are some pictures he took.  They had Really good seats and had the time of their lives!!  The bargain was Kt and I get to have Massages done!!  Which we did.  No pictures though ;0)

KEY LARGO:

Kt and Pat offered to watch Conner for us one night, so Andrew and I got a Hotel in Key Largo for the night and they met up with us the next day!!  It was Heaven!!  As much as I Love Conner, it was So nice to get away and relax and soak in the sun w/o having to chase a little 2 year old around.  Thank you again Kt and Pat!!  You guys are the Best!! 

The back of our Hotel, which led out to the Beautiful Ocean

Look at how blue the water is.  It was Sooo warm too!!

 Andrew went and got us some Yummy drinks!
 Indulging in the Sweet Goodness! 
 Andrew does Such a Great job taking scenic pictures.   

He likes to play around with the effects on his camera as well.


 We grabbed dinner and ate on this dock and watched the sunset.  It was Sooo pretty.  Also, from this dock, we saw a 2 Manatees' right up close.  That was pretty Rad!!

Our Beautiful sunset
Here's the Manatee in the water.

It was a mom and her baby.  If you look close you can see both of them in this picture.
This is their tails going under the dock right in front of us.


Taking pictures of the sunset.  So Cool!





We wanted to try the Key Lime Pie since it originated in Florida.  We had their Pie and it was pretty Good, and I'm not a Pie Lover.  We also got a Key Lime Freeze, which was Not so good.  At all.  I wouldn't recommend it.  Lol


Sorry this picture is kind of dark.  This was cool though.  It's the freeway/highway, and on either side of us is the Ocean!  Hopefully you can see it.  

Kt, Pat and the kids met up with us and we went to this Beautiful Beach!  

Another one of Andrew's picturesque moments.  I Love that he takes these, especially cuz I don't ever think about it. 
 Charlie and Conner having fun in the sun and playing on the beach
 Look at how white the sand is.  
 Me, Conner and Andrew
 This bridge was pretty cool.  People could walk on it all the way until it broke off. (Don't worry, it's gated, you can't fall off the edge.) 
Andrew taking more pictures. 
 Family photo time! 


 Pat found a crab in the water and picked it up.  He got lucky, I don't think it ever pinched him.


KEY WEST:

As you can see we hit the Southernmost Point!!  
 Ernest Hemingway's home
 Mile 0.
Another beach.  This was across the street from the Hotel we all stayed at in Key West.  Conner Loved going to the beach.  He would ask us everyday if we could go!  




 More family shots!


And more scenic pictures!
 Our hotel

So after we explored some of the Keys we went back to Miami to Kt and Pat's house and hung out and relaxed!  We enjoyed the next couple of days trying out new foods and restaurants!  We had such an Amazing time, and Kt and Pat were Amazing hosts!!  Thanks for letting us stay with you guys and show us around!!  We miss you guys and can't wait for you to move back to CA with us!!  :0)
