About Florida

Hi there! Sorry for the lapse in blogging.

We went to Florida for a vacation with the Griffin side of the family for the 4th of July week. This was Noelle's first trip to the beach! It was a wonderful trip! Noelle seemed to like the sand, but wasn't always comfortable with the "big water" of the ocean rushing toward her. Fair skinned child + fine hair = lots of sunscreen and a hat! We also spent time with her in the early mornings at the beach, so she could have some fun without the sun protection stuff.

We wondered how she'd respond to fireworks. The night of the 4th, we went to a restaurant called Pineapple Willie's. Seating was outside on a covered pier, so you could look to your right or to your left and see fireworks all up and down both sides of the beach. It was great! She never cried at all during the fireworks! Amazing...she just sat staring at it in her chair. I wonder what she was thinking?

So glad to spend time with family and friends! Thanks everyone, we miss you already!

In the post below you'll see my first time using Bubble Share for pictures. Some pictures have captions, some don't...ran out of time. Also, I know we're not always good about taking family pictures that include everyone...kind of pitiful, since we have a remote control that came with our camera. We'll experiment with this in future posts. :o)
