Florida Vacation, Part 1

Where to start? I guess we will start at 'Part 1' which we can also call 'Before Disney.' Yes, there are a lot of photos to follow, but you didn't have to choose from 300 which ones should be put up.

Our vacation started Saturday afternoon, we drove up to Denver and spent the night in a hotel

Ethan and I at the hotel (Ethan is saying "Cheese")
All our luggage, ready to go
Going in the elevator to the pool (Ethan now loves the elevator)
Sunday morning we got on a plane, non-stop to Tampa. It was a long flight but thankfully Ethan slept for the first hour (not so lucky for our return trip). We had lots of goodies for the trip, here he has his playdough and a train.
We got to Tampa in the early afternoon, there to greet us were Aunt Teeny Weenie, New Mama and Baby Madi (all names Ethan uses). And we made it to Sarasota in time to enjoy (not really) the Superbowl. Unfortunately we were routing for the Colts and were all heartbroken at the end of the game.
The next few days were filled with mostly stay at home activities, it was too cold (not as cold as Colorado, but still cold) to do much outside.
Pops' riding lawn mower
Superman enjoys watering the patio
The only way to work the bubble gun, shooting yourself in the face
Getting in some cuddle time
The newest love of my life and Michael
What a nugget!!!
Feeding the swan and turtles, and a few pesky sea gulls

Trip to the beach
I cannot resist either of these two
First time with her toes in the sand


It was cold
so we buried Ethan, he thought he was a robot
Ethan LOVED chasing sea gulls. He'd say "Me chase him" and run
In Grandma's swimming pool he got to float by himself for the first time, he also learned how to close his mouth and go under water
Playing keyboard with Pops
Like father, like son
In the jungle, actually just a median in the neighborhood
Watching some toons
St. Pete Pier, where Michael proposed 8 years ago
it was windy
take 2, a little better
we (they) were put to work, have to earn our stay
the marina
