On the move!

and she's off!!!

The Girl is getting around on her own 2 feet!!!
She still would rather crawl, b/c she is better at it, but she has finally made deliberate independent steps. For the longest time, she has been holding onto anything and walking around, I thought she'd never let go! It was like she was always singing "I can't even walk, without you holding my hand..."! :)

Got a lot going on right now, our ladies group at church is organizing and hosting a ladies retreat in 2 weeks and I've got some work to do for that. I LOVE it!!! :)

I'll try to capture The Girl on video and upload that for you.... we'll see, she's pretty sneaky about walking still.

I wanna go back on vacation!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


I love all the different colors of the houses. Their is even a town called Watercolor b/c the houses are all painted different colors. It is just soooo pretty!






I think we actually wore her out!!!

On our last full day in FL we drove to the town of Seaside. It's so quaint and EXPENSIVE! Somehow their beaches are even more beautiful than the ones in Destin.

This morning The Girl was NOT HAPPY to wake up to just me. She's had 11 days of waking up to both her mommy and daddy and clearly, I just wouldn't do! MAN! She is SUCH a Daddy's girl!!!

just a few...

we went to the beach yesterday, at first The Girl wasn't too excited about it, but she warmed up to the sand and the waves pretty quickly. We are going to seaside today and then back to the beach.
It's our last full day here. :( I'm not ready to go yet. :( :( :(

We had fun...

at the Gulfarium!!!
and because blogger is stupid and I'm lazy, you get to see our day in reverse!
I should have put these in a slideshow, but like I said I'M LAZY!!! ;)
I'm hoping to blog nightly so that you all can be on vacation with us. As long as I have an internet connection, I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't happen. I figure its easier to do it this way, rather than have to play catch up when we get back.
The weather was perfect, it wasn't too hot. It rained a bit at the perfect time, when we were under the canopy of the stands during the dolphin show. As long as hurricanes don't make a sharp right after the southern tip of FL, this is the best time to come to the Gulf, there are no crowds! :)
Enjoy!!!

She's a gem!


Look, I'm in a picture!


Sea lions resting after a hard day of perfoming!


Waving HI! to Daddy! (and yes, its ME, AGAIN!)


WHOOOO HOOOOO!


Even The Girl was impressed!


Rays... scary!


Her first live PENGUIN sighting... I think I see love!!! :)


Totally cool dolphin tank, I've got a lot of these.


"Just keep swimming... just keep swimming... just keep swimming"


"Fish" "Fish" "Fish"
