Fort Meyer Beach

This is painful to look at this pictures!  It is currently 16 degrees (the high) outside (with a low of 4 degrees)!!!  I want to be back on the beach.  The 80 degrees.  And the sand.  And the sun.  

Here are a few of my favorite pictures...

I loved, loved loved the sunsets---

This was taken only a few steps away from our hotel.  The hotel was perfect location in town, on the beach, and close to lots of places to eat.  It was perfect!

Then, the first full day there, we set up a dolphin tour by boat with Good Time Charter.  Cheryl & I had a blast!!!  We happen to be the only people on the boat, so we had extra special treatment.  I had fun taking pictures.

The sky was beautiful....

The dolphins were amazing...

The dolphins were just amazing!  Loved watching them jump out of the water and swim around.

Then we went to a beach...this was the view when we pulled up on boat...

 Beautiful!

Then, we were searching for shells on the beach and just enjoying the nice warm sun, and my Starbucks...I could have gotten used to that....

We found a ton of awesome shells, but nothing compares to this amazing conch shell.  It was still alive...

Cheryl & I had so much fun!  We had fun from the moment we saw each other in the airport from when we said good-bye in the airport.  It was so great to get away for a long weekend.  But it was good to see the boys too.  I missed them!

Fun playing outside in January

As we sit in the house, stuck home since most of the city is shut down on this icy cold first day in February, I am going through the last 4 days of pictures, which just happen to be playing outside and enjoying the 73 degree weather.  Ha.  Gotta love Texas weather!

Friday, we enjoyed riding bikes outside...

 Going fast only results in one thing...

Dylan had fun learning how to ride his scooter...

But then, he got confident and tried to go fast...

And of course I had the camera ready for the falls.  Neither child was injured.  Good times were had by all.

Then later Friday afternoon, we walked to the park and met a friend there...

More pictures of the park soon, I promise.  I had fun taking pictures of the boys.

Then Sunday, we headed to the zoo...

 First stop was the carousel, as always.  More zoo pictures to come soon too.  I have a lot to go through :)

I am ready for the 70 degree weather to be back.  This temperature in the teens and single digits with wind chill is COLD! 

But the Florida beach is calling my name and as long as the planes can fly out Thursday afternoon, that is where I am headed...woohoo!
