Vacation!

This post has been a long time in coming but we had such a good time in Marco Island that I wanted to go ahead and post. We went the beginning of August, I was more than a little worried about flying with two young children but overall the flight was ok. Lydia found a comfortable place for a nap.

Throughout the week I kept thinking how very blessed we were to be able to take a whole week to spend as a family in a beachfront condo. I loved spending all day, every day with my husband and children. The girls don't like the pool much at home but they took right to the water here. They couldn't get enough of it. Lydia would run right into the waves. Renee had a lot of fun in the sand but by the end of the week she was making real progress toward swimming.

The tidepools were a great place for Lydia to sit and play.

Renee doesn't hold still long for a picture but I got here below.

She also enjoyed visiting the gift store. Every time we went she would try on all of the hats and shoes. This one was too cute to put back.

This little face is irresistible!

We visited the Everglades Wonder Gardens (a zoo of native animals). Renee found those glasses in the gift store as well. She has style!

This is the view from the condo. We spent most of the week going back and forth between the beach, pool, and our room. 

Uncle Jason and Aunt Nancy were wonderful to have along. They made it possible for Jeff and I to have some time alone together and the girls adored them.

It was a week of wonderful memories. I'm ready to go back.
