Florida Trip

Caleb has now been to the beach twice in his life. Last week we spent vacation in Fort Myers, FL. with Jim's parents. Jim's grandparents owned a home down there and we would go visit them at least once a year. Now that they have passed away Jim's parents own the home. So, they were down there for a few weeks so we had to visit. I think it's the nicest place in Florida! I love where they live in a retirement community on a golf course called Seven Lakes. It's so peaceful and it's always nice to go lay by the pool where it's quiet.
This year I was looking forward to taking Caleb to the beach since he only saw it when he was 3 months old. He seemed to like it at first but then he noticed his feet sinking in the sand so he decided he didn't want to walk. Jim had to carry him while we walked the beach. We only visited the beach the last day we were there just to see how Caleb liked it. I guess if we had gone more often or stayed longer he might have warmed up to being there.
Caleb mostly liked going to a park nearby. It had two water area's that were fenced in so the kids could run through the sprinklers. He had no problem walking under the water!
We had a great time and can't wait to go back there!

His expression shows what he thinks of the beach! :)

Warm Weather

We have taken advantage of these warm days by playing outside. Our neighbor friends Sydney and her mom Misty come out and we chase the kids around the yard. Sydney is only 2 weeks older than Caleb so it is nice to have a friend close by to play with. Here are a few pictures that I had to hurry to capture of them playing.




It looks like Caleb is pushing Sydney

For some reason Caleb wanted to see what the rope tasted like. Sometimes I wonder what he is thinking! :)
