Back to Reality

Well, last week - on what I understand was a bitterly cold and nasty week of winter - our family went to Florida to visit my in-laws. Even though it wasn't the scorching hot I love - it was warm and not -30 like here, so it suited me just right!!

I purposefully left my gear at home and brought only a borrowed point and shoot (thanks Carolynn!) and our video camera. This way we could focus more on people and less on pics. At points it was painful not to have my beloved cameras, but I think building the memories with the fam was worth it!

Here's a look at our week away...




Finally there! The girls soaking in the rays!





we went to SeaWorld for 2 days - the girls LOVED it!!












We fed sting rays....





And dolphins...



They loved the rides!




Then Madi decided she wanted to be a dolphin trainer - here's dad being the dolphin as he and the girls enjoy a morning swim!







and that's the end!
