So, I'm very behind...I'm so behind I don't even know how many weeks I'm behind now, so I'm just going to write what I had uploaded first, and then the next post will include whatever photos I've got leftover to post. So, this post will still be photos from Florida, and the next post will contain a few photos from Florida and the remainder will be from our time here in Virginia.
So, on with the more interesting stuff. We visited the Erna Nixon Park a couple times while we were in Florida. It's a pretty small park, but lovely and perfect for a short outing with the kids. There are good signs that show all the different types of plants and trees that grow naturally in that area with photos to go with the signs so that the kids are able to find and identify each of the plants.
Sleeping baby legs are so funny...
At the end (or beginning, depending on how you look at it) of the trail loop, you must look "up" to see the small owl box. We got very lucky this visit because the little owl just happened to be looking out of the door at us...I thought it was just a prop at first, until it turned its head and stared right at us!
We also took a visit to Kissimmee to link up with Kate and JJ's family. While we were there, we visited a farm and it was amazing. Here we are waiting for pony rides.
I got to lead the horse around the circle. Tay got to ride the pony. Rea barked at the pony.
Jeff led Ri around on the pony.
We also got to see some Guinea pigs
A dwarf cow...didn't know such animals existed...
Pot-bellied pigs.
Train ride selfie!
A few peafowl were roaming around the farm...screeching up a storm.
Some sweet little donkeys...
I never noticed that donkeys have a cross on their backs...
Lots of goats...smelly goats...
And little lambs...adorable.
Ri especially loved the little goats and lambs.
They also had a chance to catch ducks and chickens! See Tay chasing the duck?
She caught it!
This was probably my favorite part...we got to hold baby ducklings and chicks! Ri is SO excited.
Just look how excited she is!
Adorable.
Even Rea was fascinated by the little creatures.
She reached out and almost grabbed the duckling! I had a flashback to our study of "Of Mice and Men" back in my English class...::squish::
Holding the duckling.
Hay ride!
Ah, here's the back porch of the resort room we stayed in while in Kissimmee. Adorable little pool, perfect for the cousins...
Silly bedtime face.
Sleepy babies.
On our way back, we decided to stop by Downtown Disney.
It was chilly, but the girls enjoyed wandering around and seeing the sights...
My little Minnie.
Lunch at the Rain Forest Café. I couldn't get a photo of this girl with her eyes open...
Daddy and his first little girl.
When we got back to the house, Tay drew me a picture to help me "remember my favorite part of the farm"...she drew me holding Rea and the duckling...sweet girl.
We had some silly time by balancing frisbees on our heads...
Look at that runway walk with a frisbee perfectly balanced.
Our other model. :)
Pardon my sweatiness...I had just gotten back from a run. Did you notice I have TWO frisbees on my head?
Tay tops me by adding the teapot to the two frisbees.
She maintains her posture, even with a baby attacking.
Like father like daughter - preparing their bait for fishing.
A nice day for a wagon ride.
Some scooter races with a wagon.
She's just learning how to ride a scooter, so she tends to sink way back with her rear when she scoots, but it's adorable.
Riding along on a windy day...
Another picture? Yes.
Getting wind-blown.
Not a huge fan of all the wind.
There she goes again! Better form this time.
Learning to coast a bit.
Puzzles were sometimes popular...so were squats.
I'm not sure what she was doing here, but she seemed pretty relaxed.
Then she wanted to know why I wasn't holding her.
Chow time.
Baby selfie?
Love. <3 p="">
My baby and her book.
She loves flipping pages.
And eating pages.
I love this girl.
And this girl. And this guy.
And all three of these folks. Breakfast at the "pink building" (Sands ont he Beach?)...lovely view, hot sun.
Ice cream may or may not have been dessert after breakfast/brunch?
A little beach time...
She had sand on her feet and hands...so she didn't want to get any on Daddy...
Mahn-seh! Hooray!
Trying on my shoes.
Pool time.
Tea Party!
Princess enjoying their spoils from Disney.
And the rest will have to come tomorrow...or another day...since I have no idea when I'll write again...
I'll catch up one day. Also, as of today, we still have no idea where we will be living...in case anyone was wondering.
