Florida

We took our family vacation to Florida this summer and visited my parents

We took an amazing air boat ride on Lake Panasoffkey

Everyone had a blast

Some just couldn't stop smiling

Laurel did very well piloting an air boat for her first time.

We spent a lot of time hanging around with Grandad and Grandma

Riding around in the golf carts

 

Shuffleboard

Playing cards

Lots and lots of swimming

Turtle spotting down at the lake

We made a trip to Orlando and SeaWorld

Grant is really into turtles

He really, really likes turtles

Laurel is a brave little rider

We made a stop at the beach on Jekyll Island on our way home.

It was a perfect "day at the beach"

Sand castle building

We also explored along the beach and found this amazing area known as "driftwood beach"

Also a lot of shells

Growing a garden

That's an asparagus the size of a kid!

We've had an abundance of cucumbers this year.  Every day I pick an armful of cukes.  We already have a year's supply of pickles and they just keep coming.

We have a seemingly limitless supply of tomatoes and it is just the beginning of July.  We are also growing peppers, peas, beans corn and sunflowers this year.
