Pool Time Fun With Papa

My parents had a heated pool at their condo, and the girls enjoyed it as often as they could. They loved when Papa would take a dip with them because he taught them so many new things! By the time we left, Jordyn was doing the backstroke and Drew was jumping in by herself and learning to float on her back (this was huge for her as she has been rather afraid of the water until recently).
Thanks for everything, Papa!!!! ---->now come home already :-) !!













Love the palm trees!!!!!

Lion Country Safari

One of the places Papa & Mi-Mi took us was to the Lion Country Safari. What an awesome place. There were so many great animals to see, and most were quite active with such a beautiful day. They would just walk across the road right in front of the car. There is also a water park and amusement park. It was a great time that we followed up with a picnic lunch.








This is Drew's favorite part, by far. She adores giraffes and had such a great experience being able to be so close to them and feed them!



























This rhino was about 30 feet away from our car, which mom did not like at all. She gave dad the 'get out of dodge' look as it started to inch closer to us. She was terrified that it would come at the car. We all thought she was hilarious. Then, as always, she proves her point when she finds out that our aunt's car was head-butted by a rhino at that same safari.


























Speaking of butts!

Nothing says, "Florida" like a man-made waterfall!


To our surprise Mi-Mi & PaPa rode the ferris wheel! Dad said he had some bad memories of his older sister (aka Auntie Collette) rocking the last ferris wheel he was on. But, he was not as 'white knuckled' as my mom. Wish I could have got her death grip in the picture.



































Gotta have a gator pic!
Look hard and you will see Jordyn, Drew, & Papa. (You might need to click on the pic).








More to come...................................

Home Is Where the Heart Is.......


...BUT THE REST OF ME'S IN FLORIDA!!!!


The girls and I are in sunny-ish Florida, visiting with my snowbird parents. We are missing Ben a lot, but still having a great time, and I will be sure to post all about it soon! Until then, here's a pic of Drew up on the balcony.
