Summer Vacation...Florida...part 1

We headed to Florida to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Gant. Unfortunately, for half of the time we were there we dealt with the effects of Tropical Storm Debbie, which meant a lot of rain and spending time in doors. We made the best of it and had a great time.

Our big boy, Colton, playing with one of Uncle Andy's old toys.

Having fun in the pool. Colton swam nearly every day, rain or shine.

Hanging out in the spa.

Kinley loves her Grandpa David.

Colton took a walk with Grandma Deb and found this huge mango.

Kinley helping Grandpa David vacuum. This girl loves to help clean. I'll have to remind her of that one day :).

Due to the weather, we decided to take the kids bowling. Colton did awesome and even beat Mommy one game. This was his first time and wants to go again soon. Notice the blurriness? That is the humidity that you see. Very, very humid.

Grandpa David watched, or should I say ran, after Kinley so we could bowl.

When the weather cleared up, we took the kiddos to a "Wonder Garden" in Bonita Springs. Colton loved seeing all the animals, especially the alligators and turtles.

Kinley enjoyed the animals as well.

Sitting on a big alligator. This kid has no fear :).

Grandma Deb made snow cones and cookies with the kids. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the snow cones because they were babysitting for us, but here are some cute ones of them making cookies.

Colton not only had fun punching the cookies out, but eating the dough too. So did Kinley :).

Kinley scooted her way on the step stool and was apart of the action.

Grandma Deb had some old bags and purses that she got out for Kinley. Here she put one on her shoulder and walked around like a little lady.

Trying to open the purse.

Deb has kept a bunch of Andrew's old toys from 20+ years ago. Colton loved playing with them. I wish they still made some of these toys....they were awesome!

Playing with "Seasame Street" playhouse.

After a fun filled week, it was time to get on a plane and go see the other two sets of Grandparents. Colton was mad at us for leaving. He wanted to stay and play with Grandma and Grandpa.
