Key West Trip

Our Key West trip last week was absolutely the best! We had so much fun and did a lot of relaxing!! This was a much needed trip for both of us. Key West is such a neat and colorful place to go. There is a lot of history, many things to see and some yummy food. So yummy in fact, I gained a couple of pounds! Oh well, it's vacation! We enjoyed going on a dolphin safari. We had to actually search for one but, one finally came around. It was pretty to watch! It came up a couple of time and then finally rode the wave in the front of the boat!! They took us out in the middle of the ocean to go snorkeling. Very cool....so many beautiful fish. Then towards the end of the trip they took us to the sand bar out in the middle of no where. He pulled the boat up onto the sand and let us venture out. This is where we found our shells for Hannah. We even got to see a couple of sting rays!

Although we very much enjoyed our time by ourselves, we still missed our little stinkers! We were glad to get back and play with them! Check out our pictures from the trip!

After our dolphin trip, this little manatee visited the marina



Evidently, they like to drink fresh water from the hose!

I know this picture is fuzzy but it was at night and this was the best I could get. This is the 90 mile marker at the southern most part of the island....90 miles to Cuba!

We decided after walking around the island for 3 days.....we would take a break and rent a scooter. Pretty fun!!

Our last excursion...a sunset champagne cruise on a catamaran!! Oh, and we saw another dolphin!

Sister and Brother fun!

Who said you can't have fun playing with your sibling. Even if that means dressing up with them. Sound familiar Robert? Poor Robert just didn't have a chance. With 2 older sisters he was going to play whatever we were playing. Which usually included dressing him up in our clothes and covering his hair in barrettes! Ha,ha,ha...it was fun and he was too little to know the difference. Bringing that into modern day times....check out the picture below!!
This was from earlier today. Jake thinks that it is crazy fun dressing up with Hannah. For now it's cute we might think twice a little later in life if he's still doing this! We have had to make our own fun indoors lately due to all of the rain that we have been getting. We have been having a little bit of behavior issues with Jake at school the past 2 weeks. It seems as though he has been the bully of the class!! Thankfully, today we had a break through. He was back to his normal self!!! YEA!! Since we are nearing Mother's day, I got a little treat from the little man today and it totally is true!!! Check out what he made for me!



That was the highlight of my day! After dinner we had no more rain showers so, it was off to the outside we went! Hannah has been enjoying her umbrella with all of the rain and even if it's not raining....well, she still find it fun to play with!!
