Getting Caught Up - Florida Vacation

So with the beginning of the school year, I realize I've fallen way behind on the blog.  In an effort to get caught up so I can post pictures of what is going on now, I'm retracing our way through the end of some of our summer adventures.  In August, we took a wonderful vacation to Florida to see Grandma Carol and Grandpa Russ.  Their new house has a pool, and I think we were in the pool more than we were out of it :)

I have 173 pictures from the trip, so here are just a few of my favorites...

Addy really set to work on her swimming skills, and with a little help from Grandpa, here's what she could do by the time we left...

Grandpa also taught Cora a few tricks, too :)

From the geckos to the turtles, to the sand cranes and sea gulls, the girls loved the animal life.

Does this say Florida, or what?

We had a great day at Sea World.  I actually touched a dolphin!

Dancing on town square.

And celebrating Cora's 2nd Birthday!

Addy chose the saying for Cora's cake...nothing works quite as well as the obvious, I guess.  "Cora is now 2."
