Florida and other ramblings...

Yes, I know this is waaaay late but we are just a busy bunch around here right now! I do check up on every one and post comments here and there but we would much rather be outside these days than inside on the computer!!!
Well we had a BLAST in Florida and we didn't want to come home! I have just a water baby is not even funny! He really didn't want anything to do with playing in the sand he wanted in the water all the time. And the funny thing was there he wasn't interested in the pool at the condo is was the OCEAN he LOVED!!! We were playing in the waves every day but he usually only lasted about an hour to an hour and a half and then he was exhausted and it was time for a nap!

After nap time we were usually of for some other types of adventures. We have family in Florida so we met up with them, we went on boat rides, found a favorite restaurant and ate there several times at night - it was open so you could see the little marina and the eckrets and the atmosphere was great! And this little man grabbed the attention of all the wait staff everywhere we went - everyone just fell in love with him - he is just so funny!!

We had the best time there and it was bitter sweet to come home but daddy really missed us!!!

Then about a month ago we had several storms come through and we had just got home and in the garage and I was getting little man out and lightening hit our house!!!! Holy cow talk about scary! My husband didn't know we were home, he was working on the dryer and got shocked a little, came running out to see what in the world had happened! The neighbor across the street came running over and told me what happened! Nothing caught on fire and my husband is okay, we ended up losing a bunch of electrical stuff and are still in the midst of getting everything taken care of! So needless to say I no longer like storms!!!!

My mom got an above ground pool at her house about 2 weeks ago so we have really been enjoying that!!! The water is finally starting to warm up which is really nice and today was great, we just got home a little while ago from being in the pool since about 2:00 this afternoon (with a nap in there!!!).

So that is where we have been! Just enjoying the weather with swimming, walks, playing with the cousins and family and life couldn't be any better right now! We hope you all are enjoying your summer too!!!!
