Sunny South (post 2)

We are soaking in the sun!  Spending time at the pool with Merv and Carol was wonderful fun!  Splashing in the ocean waves and collecting shells is something only the kids can master so well!  Taking an alligator boat tour caused us to use lots of patience but we looked in amazement and enjoyed the scenes!  And, and we are eating the best foods around!!!  Really!!!

See the amazing, yummy sweet rolls that we have been chowing down!


Ashlyn's enjoying the pool and lollipop and her snack of fishes!

 Landon and Matthew ... salt and pepper.  :)
 Same old goggles! 
 Taking a break with daddy's phone!
 There's this yogurt place called "Yogurtology".  We have been making an every other day stop on the way back from the beach/pool.  It's frozen yogurt and you put all the great toppings on you want!  We love it!  I fill my cup with coconut and salted caramel yogurt!


 We saw this sting ray flopping out of the ocean!  Neat ...
 Every morning ... they go for a bike ride.  Perfect fit!

 The girls love dill pickles!
 Here are some alligators we saw!  We wanted to do something fun with the kids and go see some animals.  We chose to see alligators.  We got to the national state park and the first boat tour was sold out and so we got tickets for the next ride.  That meant waiting a few hours on a hot day.  We enjoyed some pickles and snacks.  We walked out a pier to see some wild birds.  And then Ashlyn got a nasty splinter in her hand that was no fun getting out.  We saw some turtles and fish in a nearby stream.  We glided on the swings a bit.  Then it was finally ready for the tour ride!

 


 We did our annual restaurant stop to JoTo's last night.  They cook the food right in front of you and we enjoyed the show and food!

And ... here's a picture for my twin nieces.  They are missing Ashlyn.  She misses them too.  So, here's a hello wave from her to you!!!  :)
