We went to Florida to visit Billy's mom this June. Slade was so excited on the way to the terminal. He just looked out the window the whole time.
Brant stayed by daddy.
We had a great flight to Tampa. Our computer worked and Slade played games the whole way down. When we landed, the pilot said, "Welcome to Tampa," and Slade looked confused. He said, " I thought we were going to Florida?" Then, he asked me if the airplane was going to drop us off at the beach. He is so cute!!
Brant slept the whole way, and he wore these earphones. He plugged them into the slot and listened to music until he fell asleep.
A picture from the plane when we have almost landed.
Venice Beach!! We stopped by this beach on the way to Billy's moms so we could look for shark teeth. We did not find any, but the water was beautiful and the boys had fun. We did not have a towel or a change of clothes and there was sand everywhere!!
Brant being slow. He always wants us to "Hold you" I think it is the sweetest thing that he says.
Playing in the water. It was so nice!
We went out on the boat the first day we were there. Slade loved it, Brant was a little hesitant. He did not like the big bumps. Slade loves to fish!!!
All ready with our life jackets!!
Brant wanted to drive the boat.
He had a great time, when the boat was stopped...
Brant and daddy enjoying the boat ride.
More and more fishing.
Brant's turn.
We stopped at a beach and anchored the boat, then we had to jump out and wade to shore. Slade was sooo brave, he would swim back out to the boat and then jump off the boat!! He is not like me at all... I would never swim in open water!!
On our way back to the dock, we saw dolphins!! It was very cool!! Brant even recognized them, and then someone had a dolphin float and he kept on saying, "dolphins, dolphins!!"
We went to Siesta Key Beach, the #1 beach in America. The water is beautiful and the sand is white!!
This is a beach boy!!!! He did not want to leave!
He even let us bury him in the sand.
Of course, Brant had to be buried too.
"Hey Bubba, bury my arm.."
Brant playing the drums, buried in the sand.
We love the beach!
The last day Billy went fishing and I took the boys to an aquarium type place with Billy's mom.
This was a little pond that you walked over and there were fish and turtles.
Of course, we found the interactive sports games.
Brant liked the alligator. This shows his personality, he was saying, "WHOA!!!"
A quick picture of Slade touching the snake, notice it is one finger...
We played a lot of Yahtzee on the trip. Slade finally got a Yahtzee and he was sooo excited!!
All 1's!!
A few pictures from outside Nana's house.
The big bird the boys loved.
Airport playground!! The best invention ever! We were of course early to get to the airport, and after the beating of Brant during security, we were glad to see this. Brant during security just screamed and screamed. He did not like his backpack to go through the scanning.
