VACATION AT LAST...

So long story short Craig and my mom put together a vacation in 3 days after finding out we could no longer go on the cruise that we had booked. The Walds were able join us and it was a great vacation.

After a long drive we were all excited to get out of the car and stretch our legs. We went out on the beach and before we could get Teagan’s suit on she was off to enjoy the water.
Freedom at last...


We finally got her dressed and she was in the water.

Teagan found the birds on the beach fun to chase


Teagan enjoying the many slides. This was a new word for her on arrival to Florida but a staple in her vocab now.









Play time with Teagan as she enjoyed the funny mirror in the kids play area


Teagan got to play with her cousins and she had a blast.




Teagan got to try her hand at coconut painting after a day at the beach.


...and while she worked on hers, daddy made her a coconut Elmo (her favorite thing at this time)


We ate some great seafood while in Florida. The first night with Debbie, Anika and Collin we went out to a great restaurant called Fishlips and the kids had a great time running around the Christmas tree that was up and listening to the live music.

I do love to get photos with Teagan’s Bed-head and this is no exception since this looks to me like the perfect Christmas photo – (she is looking out the window at the pool.)

There was a great animal show at our resort. It was informative and fun and everyone got to hold any of the animals that they wanted to.
