Kate Jackson Splash Park

Professional puddle jumper!

Cooling off with her buddies Ella and Logan. Thanks for the pics Alyson!

Mia's Tribute to the Jackson 5


Great Explorations in St. Pete

We spent last Saturday morning at the children's museum. Super fun!! Mia especially loved this table. The balls would fly up in the air when she pushed the button.

Trying to figure it all out.

They had a veterinarian station where the kids could wear lab coats and stethoscopes.

Mia could've played all day long!

Okay, so check this out - they had a Publix Supermarket set up for the kids to go grocery shopping and check out.

Mia was stocking up on soda.

And ice cream. Woo-hoo! I can do whateva I want!

Daddy and daughter loved this musical thingamabob.

Playing in the fire engine!

I need to learn photoshop.

Playing with blocks and shapes.

Just for FUN pics






USF Butterfly Garden

Mia got up close to some monarch butterflies out an outdoor garden festival.

How cool is this?

It was super hot out that day, but fun anyway!

Where do I start? The Aquarium!

Brandi and Lexi stopped in town at the end of June, so we all visited the Aquarium.

Anna Maria Island Vacation



Somebody loooooved the ocean. She brings it up at least once every day since going home. We spent a week, the three of us, in a cute little beach house. It was perfect.

We even brought the dogs.

On the first night we saw a beautiful sunset.

Grandma and Grandpa even came by that first weekend.

Mia sure did love getting those little feet wet.

She didn't like to be picked up out of the water.

Hey, Grandpa's head is on fire!!

Me and my beautiful daughter.

Shannon, Michael, Aiden and Katarina stopped by for some fun.

Having a blast with her favorite people.

Chili made sure Abuelo and Abuela were well taken care of.

Hanging loose with Dad. Mia had a great time catching waves out there with him. They would yell BIG ONE!!!! She asks about those waves all the time.

Making sure Daddy is properly covered with suntan lotion.

Waiting for a table at The Sandbar.

Skipping around on the beach.

Not a baby anymore!

Ocean! Ocean! Ocean!

It doesn't get anymore fun than this!

Mia loves lemons. It's hilarious.

Having a snack with Mama.

Cracking up with Dad.

Our little surfer girl.

Chasing seagulls.

Learning to kick on the noodle.

Chili sunbathing.

Precious.

Grandma and Grandpa came back later in the week with Carmen, Maria's sis.

The surf picked up later in the week - too rough for a little person.

Relaxing in our pool.

So much fun!!

Our little cabana dog.

A view of the house, just across the path to the beach.

And here is the pool/tiki bar.

We were so sad to leave!
