Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Other fun bits of our Florida adventures… Seeing Finding Dory and The Secret Life of Pets – with a large popcorn each time! – jumping in the bounce house, dressing up, making a cake, building obstacle courses, eating ice cream, and getting into every single drawer and cabinet we weren’t supposed to get into! (well, that last one might have just been Baby!) It was the MOST fun and we can’t wait to go back!
A few more pics of my adorable trio…
We miss you already Naples!! See you soon!
On the 4th of July we all wore our red, white, and blue!
We kept it pretty low-key but did celebrate with some sparklers and fireworks at home that night…
Spencer loved them – and almost caught his hair on fire! – while Maxwell was a bit more cautious. Not surprising at all.
This picture of them watching the cone explode kind of sums how they each felt about the fireworks!…
ha! Still, we all had fun in the steamy Florida weather…rainbows and all!
Hope you all had a happy 4th too!
Maxwell caught the big one…and it didn’t get away! After Robert got down to Naples he took Maxwell out for an early morning fishing excursion. Apparently the fish weren’t biting that great, but that didn’t matter to Maxwell. He caught this big snook on his first line!
So proud! Funny, as the day went on that fish seemed to get bigger and bigger! They caught plenty of other fish too…
We enjoyed some good snapper for dinner that night. Maxwell even took a (teeny tiny itty bitty) bite of it – gotta eat what you catch!
Meanwhile, GJ and I took these two out for breakfast cake pops…
Special early morning treats for all! 🙂
We didn’t spend all our time in Naples swimming at the pool…we also made it to the beach a few times!
Stopping to look at a lizard…
and my favorite shot I get of the boys every year. Can’t wait until little miss is with them next year!
They thought this fisherman was pretty cool – and also thought the dolphins we saw were pretty cool too!
I was a little surprised and how much they loved, loved, loved swimming in the ocean! They had no fear – just dove on in and would go out as far as their toes would still touch!
Of course, we did plenty of sand playing too…
I love my little beach bums!
Make it a great day!
On Sunday morning, we all got up and were at the Georgia Aquarium by 9am! I’m so glad we got there right when it opened because it wasn’t too crowded yet and we were able to see the whale sharks and penguins without too big of a crowd around us…
We then went to see the Sea Lion show and the Dolphin show. Both were great – but we had to wait way too long for them! We got in line for the Sea Lion show at 10:00 and it started at 10:30. When that was over, we went straight to the Dolphin show and were in our seats by 10:50 but the show didn’t start until 11:30! It was THAT crowded that we had to go super early – but trying to entertain/wrangle Samantha in a seat for that long was not exactly fun. After the show, we made one last stop to see the jelly fish and the eels and then we hit the road back to Birmingham.
Overall it was a great trip. I’m not dying to go back to the aquarium anytime soon but I’m glad we went. Mostly, I’m so glad this crew got to hang out!
A fun weekend in Atlanta!
