Florida, Day 2: More Beach and Pool

Today was another gorgeous day in Siesta Key. It was in the 70s and sunny for most of the day. Perfect for spending the day at the pool!

First, in the morning, we went down to the beach to go for a walk. Cameron was the line leader.

Daddy took off his shirt to try and get some color, and Cameron had to follow suit.

There were a bunch of dolphins in the water while we were walking. This is the best picture Tim got. You can't tell, but it was pretty neat!

Leah got to ride in the stroller and she really liked looking all around. For most of the walk, she was pulling herself forward in the stroller so that she could see everything and everyone.

Leah has been doing some fancy crawling lately. She still uses her "wounded soldier" technique when she needs to get somewhere quickly, but her new trick is to crawl up on all fours like a little bear!

Smily girl! Leah was so proud of herself here because she had gone from laying on her belly to doing her bear crawl to sitting up! I think she was a little surprised to find herself sitting.
After lunch time, we headed back down to the pool. Leah is ready to swim!

I'm sure this is just a small glimpse of what is to come... poor Leah!

Cameron going fishing

Leah really loved being in the pool. She always likes her swimming lessons, but I think she really enjoyed being able to sit on the step and splash all on her own.

We were in the pool for about an hour. It was so warm!

Happy girl, laughing at her silly brother

Hello, brother!

She could also stand up on the second step and hold the side, and splash, splash, splash!

After a long time in the pool, Cameron climbed out and asked if he could lie down and take a nap. I can't think of a much better place to sleep then curled up under warm towels in the sun! He slept for almost two hours, so I guess he agrees!

Leah has been eating like a champ while we have been here. Tonight for dinner we had schnitzel and she ate a ton of it! She is such a good eater!

Tomorrow we are going to Tampa to visit the zoo with our friends Erin, Reagan, Jason and Colin. We are really looking forward to it!

What fun! It sure is funny to see Cameron and Leah in shorts and bathing suits instead of all bundled up in winter clothes. I'm glad the weather has been so good.
