Florida Part 4

Day on the beach.
Ben and Madeline headed out bright and early to set our tent up.
The tent and wind did not get along and poor Ben had to put it up. Madeline was with him and she kept wandering towards the ocean so the wind and Madeline wanting to go in the ocean were not making it the easiest time for him.

I decided to get dressed and help.
Madeline left the condo in her nightgown and by the time I got down to the beach she....


had already stripped down to her undies....










A nice girl jogging on the beach stopped and offered to take our picture. She said her sister always complains about never getting a picture of her entire family because one parent is always taking the picture. Thanks!
Time to relax, play and enjoy the beach...







For dinner, we headed to a restaurant at the condo next door.
Mom and Aunt Sue ordered all you can eat crab legs so it took them awhile to finish their dinner. They definitely got their money worth. While we were waiting on Aunt Sue and Big Momma to finish, Madeline and I went out to the pool to waste time, Madeline decided to stripe down to her undies and got in the pool




She also performed several song and dances for us.
Her great white shark song, octopus and oh no, itsey bitsey spider song.






Time to head home and rest up for another busy day!

Florida Part 3

We woke up to a very, very rainy day so hit headed to the Gulfarium
Watching the dolphins swim in their tank.
They would swim right up to the window.











Daddy Bear and Madeline love turtles....
She calls him Daddy Bear when she wants something. She knows how to work her Daddy. He jumps to anything as soon as he hears Daaaaaadddddy Beaaaaarrrr.
She loved the ottors. She kept yelling "Hey Ottors!"
They play really hard!



Lots of huge sharks...
The fence to protect people from falling in the pool was not very tall at all. I asked Ben what he thought the sharks would do it someone fell in. I could totally see a kid leaning over and fall in. Made me a little nervous.


See how short the fence to the shark pool is....
Madeline's first icee. 
I love concession stands and had to get an icee the moment I saw them
Madeline loved it


Waiting for the dolphin show to begin...
It got really cool and it started raining really, really hard...


Watching the dolphins do all their fancy tricks...
