Florida, Day 4 Afternoon

After naptime, we headed back down to the pool for more swimming.  We definitely had to take advantage of the beautiful warm weather.

Fun in the water with Opa

Another boy had some rings that he was diving for and he let Cam get them too.

Almost...

Got it!

Cameron wanted to take a picture of us

Leah and Mama

Daddy and Leah underwater

We went back up and changed and then headed back down to the beach to watch the sunset.  Of course, when we are on the beach we like to take lots of funny pictures.  Cam wanted to try some jumping pictures.

And Tim wanted to try some throwing the kids in the air pictures.

There goes Leah.  She loved it!

What a handsome boy!!

Cam also ran after the birds, but they were not in much of a mood to fly away.  Cam was also not fast enough for any of the birds to have to do much more than walk away quickly.

It was a little bit windy out there

Mama and kiddos

Kisses!

Cam wanted to try giving Leah a ride on his shoulders.

Then Cam wanted to get on daddy's shoulders

Family picture

And even more fun - family jumping picture!  We must have looked like goofballs taking a bunch of these pictures!!  :-P

After dinner, Cameron asked to help Opa make some more fresh-squeezed orange juice.  He was very serious about making sure all of the juice got out of the orange.

Leah came over to see what they were doing

And of course, she had to try too.

The results were DELICIOUS!  Another wonderful day in Siesta Key!!

Trip to Florida - Day 2

On our second day, we did more swimming, of course.  When the weather is warm and sunny, what else do kiddos want to do?

Leah in her super cute bathing suit and adorable pigtails

Since she was dressed like a little ballerina, we were showing her ballet moves to do.  Here she is in the middle of a twirl.

Cutie splashing

Another cutie swimming

Cam did so awesome swimming all over the pool

And so did Leah - she couldn't do it on her own but as long as someone had a hand under her belly, she was swimming like a champ

Leah jumping in!  She did so great!

Jump and underwater!

Leah swimming in her boat

We have a whole series of these underwater shots, and I LOVE them.

It was fun when Leah was in her boat because we could swim to the deep end and back together (which I wasn't able to do when I was holding her - I can't swim and hold a baby at the same time!).

Tim was goofing around and trying to make bubble rings - this was his best try.

Towel time!  I have no idea why she is making such a funny face.  She loved being all bundled up and sitting in the sun drying off.

 That night we went down to play on the beach and watch the sunset.

The kiddos playing together in the sand.  This was a few minutes before Leah started throwing sand and Cameron decided he did NOT want any help with filling his bucket.

One of Tim's all-time favorite things to take pictures of is him throwing the kids in the air.  Well, I guess I should say that I take those pictures, while he does the throwing.   Here is flying Leah.

And flying Cam.  Luckily both kids really like flying, so Daddy can get as many pictures as he can do before he gets tired out.

I think this is a cool picture of Leah - cool angle and I love the sand falling from the shovel.

 Cute picture of Leah and Mama

Mama and kiddos - I love this one too!

My favorite of the day - two ADORABLE kiddos!!!

Smiley Leah

Family picture.  Not the best one, since Cam was not being cooperative.

A beautiful sunset

After dinner that night, Omi and Opa needed to make some more fresh squeezed orange juice.  Cameron remembered helping last year and wanted to help out again.  He loved it.

He took his work very seriously, it was adorable.

He was very careful with this part, using the spoon to push the juice through but making sure not to get any of the yucky pulp into it. Cameron does NOT like pulp in his juice.  :-P

The result was some very tasty juice that we got to drink for the rest of our trip.
