Playing on the playgrounds

There were a number of playgrounds throughout the complex and we found and played on them all (I think) while there for the week. Beth really enjoyed the climbing wall type of equipment, which should make her uncle Tony very happy!! Beth helped Anna get comfortable, well she tried, with the slides but didn't quite understand Anna was too little to go down alone.

In the morning before setting out to the playgrounds Mandy helped the girls build a fort with the couch cushions which was a BIG hit...at least with Beth although Anna seemed to get a kick out of it too :)

mini golf

While relaxing at the complex we took a number of walks to enjoy the weather, rode in swan paddle boats and enjoyed a game of mini golf. Beth discovered that the ducks on site rather enjoy Cheetos and she nearly gotten engulfed in a flock of them. Beth and Anna had a good time playing mini golf....but not as much as the parents did! While playing the course Beth had fun playing on the stone animal statues throughout.

First day in Florida

Our first day in Florida was rather relaxing, we hung around the condo complex and went swimming then enjoyed a relaxing dinner out. We stayed in Mandy's parents time share which allowed for nap times, food prep for the weeee ones and much relaxation for mom and dad. Beth very much enjoyed being able to swim multiple times a day although she didn't really like being pulled from the pool after 30 minutes in the middle of the day to avoid sunburn

The flight to Florida

On Feb 28,2009 our family took a trip to Kissimmee, Fl with some friends. Beth very much enjoyed her first airplane ride. She did well although she didn't really want to buckle up until I told her that it was captains orders. Beth also had a great time playing with Anna in the terminal at Hubert H. Humphrey while waiting to depart. Here are some photos from the terminal and flight.

Playing with Alex

Alex and Heather came to visit last night and the girls had fun "hiding" from monsters and playing with the yoga ball. The most fun came from trying to jump/cross the ball from the chairs and onto the couch. The creativity and imagination were on display from both. Beth also got to watch Alex and Heather talk to Keith via Skype...she wasn't sure what to think of that until Keith turned on his webcam and she could see him, then it made more sense.
