Our Natural Born Boater

Here is a little video.

Our Baby Moon

This year, we decided that for our annual vacation, we would go to Fl to see the Grans before the new baby comes. We always have a great time and this year/trip has been no exception. We drove half the way Thursday night and the other half Friday so it was a surprisingly easy trip. Jaiden, as always, was great. Saturday was an easy day with a bit of pool time for the boy. He got to try out Gran-gran and Grandpa guys new kayaks and he is a natural born boater. He got to paddle while Nanay pushed him around. Saturday night, Nanay and I got to have a real date so we went to see Cirque De Solea. No pictures but I did get a really BIG candy apple.

Today was another great day. We rented a pontoon boat at Hontoon Island and spent about 4 hours on the water. This was Jaiden's first trip in a real boat and he love every minuet . We took sandwiches and after a while of tooling around, we stopped to swim for a bit. After that, we did a little more boating and even saw some wildlife. After about 15-20 min, Jaiden loosened up and really started to enjoy himself. Toward the end of the trip, he even got to help Grandpa Guy drive.

In true FL fashion, we did run into a little rain storm but again, in true FL fashion, there were beautiful blue skies above. The shower was short lived so we did a little more exploring. We got to see some neat wildlife but for me, the coolest part was seeing cows next to the water. (I'm guessing mom and baby but???)

It was an amazing day and I only ended up a little burnt. I guess I didn't put the lotion on evenly. :{ but it's not too bad. (I guess I really have learned a few things in the past 30+ years.) The trip still holds a few more adventures so we will keep you posted.

Love and hugs,

Steph, Anna, Jaiden, and ???

The rest of the story....

So I am finally getting around to publishing (in the words of my favorite radio personality) "the rest of the story" from the fourth of July. Mostly because 1. I found my camera again and 2. I need to room on the chip because at the moment, we are currently on another adventure. I'm calling it our baby moon because it's probably the last trip we will take as a family of 3 (before the new baby.) Anyways... Here are a few pictures from the second day our our trip to Alabama: the actual 4th of July. It was VERY HOT. I really wanted to go to the beach but it was way to hot so we went to the battle ship to see the fireworks. We went early so we could have a picnic on the grass. It being the USS Alabama, the had a bunch of "other" things things there too. They had a really big airplane, a rocket of some sort, a helicopter and a few other smaller planes. Out of all of that going on, Jaiden wanted to go see the firetruck parked all the way on the other side of the lawn. (It wasn't an old firetruck or a navy firetruck, just Company??? from up the street making sire nobody got to stupid...) He was just so excited, how could we help but get excited too...
It was a great evening with and awesome sunset and wonderful live music. It was still hot but we had a great time.
Love and hugs,
Steph, Anna, Jaiden and ???
