Florida 2018

Our annual trip to Florida started out with some early morning fun at the airport.

Once we landed, we went to Apollo Beach to look at the manatees.  We even got to pet some stingrays!



Getting up before dawn means naptime later!

One of Kayla's favorite things to do at the condo...swim!

Jordan and I took a side trip to go pig hunting.  Afterwards, we caught up with my aunt and uncle on Marco Island and took a boat ride to see the island and dolphins.

We went camping in the Everglades and then hiking the next day.

When we got back from our mini-trip, we all rented canoes and went paddling down the Myakka River.



Fun at Caspersen Beach looking for shark teeth.  The kids found a ton to add to their collection!






Colin's trying out some hair chalk


We had a blast at Busch Gardens









Our favorite was the porcupine on a leash!

Daddy made friends with a giant tortoise

The kids were up to no good with a penguin


Kayla was the only brave one of us to do the Giant Drop

You can see Colin's reflection in the mirror but him and the baby orangutan were eyeing each other up!

Kayla met a wallaby

What a fun day we all had!


More swimming and beach time!  This day we were visiting aunts in Siesta Key








Hiking at one of our favorite parks...Jelks



Unfortunately all vacations must come to an end.  Back to the airport
