Our trip to Clearwater 2-23 to 2-24

First day at the beach was COLD and windy!! At the hotel

Spiderman sunglasses...Sam won't even take them off for lunch!

My little nudist didn't want to get dressed before leaving the hotel room!

The kids had so much fun swimming in the indoor pool...Aubrey asked over and over again to go swimming, she couldn't get enough!

Sam on his big bed at the hotel, we stayed at the Bellevue Biltmore Hotel in Clearwater, what a cool old hotel!

Lunch time...always interesting with Sam and Aubrey

Aubrey in her bathing suit, swimming, yeah!

My little swimsuit model

My two little fishies

The ice cream shop at the hotel...yum!

Outside the hotel at the fountains

Checking out, time to get to the beach

Sam loves playing in the sand, he found lot's of shells on the beach. He was very excited to find so many and can't wait to bring his favorite to school. He also brought one for Evan, he's missed his buddy so much and keeps getting sad thinking about how he hasn't seen him in so long!

Lunch on the beach

Spending time with MeMere and PePere

The kids have had such a nice time with their MeMere and PePere, they've done lot's of cuddling this week!

Faith and Health Deland Hospital 5k Road Race 2-22-09

For some reason these pictures are in the WRONG order...so I will try best to explain and you'll have to forgive the order. Anyway, Mike loves to run races so he found one to run on vacation in Deland Florida for today and signed up a few months ago. The weather was beautiful! This first picture should be the last, it's Mike getting his award for coming in 3rd place in his division (18-29 years.) He came in 17th overall...I'm very proud of him!! Sam and I while waiting for Mike to finish

Aubrey being very silly with a baby wipe

Mike as he ran through the finish line

My pretty girl "cheese"

The race is about to begin

Mike as he went by me, it was really hard to get a picture with such a big group moving by so fast, Mike is on the far left in green

Aubrey having a snack while Daddy runs

Sam and his juice box wearing his spider man sunglasses

There was also a health fair, Aubrey got a "future doctor" hat, so cute!

Right before the race, when we first arrived

Blue Springs 2-21-09

This afternoon we went to Blue Springs state park where we saw hundreds of manatees. They come into the spring to stay warm during the cooler weather. It was really cool to see them all there swimming around. I tried to take some pics, hopefully you can see them.

Daddy kisses

My 2 babies

Looking for manatees

Swings, hooray!!

A visit with Grammy Barbara and Don at the Marion Flea Market

Today we went to the Marion Flea Market to visit with Grammy Barbara and Don. After lot's of walking and talking the kids were tired!! We had such a nice time though...and it was so warm in the sun.
