FloRida

A few weeks ago we decided to throw in a Florida trip in the mix of everything we had going on this month! Family vacations have always been important to us, and we realized this may be our last opportunity to go before we have too many kids to afford it :) I'm so glad we did! We also got to see Whitney. She was able to spend a few days with us! Unfortunately, I'm not very bright and didn't realize how large some cities are in comparison to Boise, so the drive for her was a bit long (sorry Whit). The kids were such amazing troopers - minus Amelia throwing up 15 minutes before we arrived back in Boise -even through the horrible flight schedules and many connections they were great. I was impressed. So here's some pics of our great time!


This guy was right outside of our cute little condo. We were always greeted by these or cute little lizards.


This was our last night. We decide to eat at "Old Salty Dog." Ya check out this place. Pretty interesting. They fried hot dogs. Wow. Healthy, eh?








This place is seriously just AMAZING!





Carson and Harris caught a Sea Urchin while snorkling on the beach.



Ahhh, look at that amazing sparkly water. (Notice oil free)





Riding the train around Busch Gardens





Carson riding the Crab Ride (or his words Crap Ride)


These Sting Rays were very friendly. Amelia couldn't decide if she wanted to pet them or not. She would chicken out every time it would get close but she kept trying!



The sunglasses Whitney brought Amelia. She looked like a really cute bug!


Bye Florida! We REALLY miss you already! You too Whitney! Glad we got to see you!

After so much hard work and determination, Carson learned to ride his bike. This video is from a few weeks ago. He can now ride his bigger bike like a pro! He spends ALL DAY outside riding that thing. I'm so proud of him. I can't take much credit for him learning. He mostly figured it all out by himself. Way to go Carson!!!
