Springtime fun

We were itching to get outside this spring after such a cold, snowy winter. We enjoyed the cherry blossoms at a local park. We also were able join Matt in Orlando for a conference and then spend a long weekend with Matt's Grandma.

Before the first cut of the year our side lawn turned into a deep jungle.

Quasimodo and his sister?

The lovely DJ Chloe

Under Dora's spell with Cousin Emma

This spill didn't make the news

We asked a stranger to capture our major production. Who needs a Sky Cap?

"Noah the brave" rides solo at Downtown Disney.

Its boys dream, a huge lego store with piles of spare parts. They also had lots of huge Lego characters inside and out.

This dinosaur themed restaurant/store had a life sized animated T-rex equally impressive and...

scary!

An ice cream break along International drive.

Hot and tired kids

Breakfast at Grandma's pool

One of several beach days

A little game of remote keep away, Chloe always seems to win!

A canoe trip around the canals and mangroves.

Noah explains the estuarine mangrove system ecology

We took a nice walk through a local Cocoa Beach park.

Noah was very excited about his self proclaimed "safari"

Cutie Chloe looks for some more tasty sand morsels

We had to keep her up or she would seriously try to eat the whole beach

Noah touched a couple toes in the water but was dedicated sand crab while at the beach. During our first trip his first act was to lay face down and dig his hands and feet in as deep as possible.

We had a great celebration of Chloe's first birthday.

Making friends with the neighbor's dog

If its not sand, its grass, if not grass well pretty much anything and everything goes in the mouth

Great Grandmother :)

Who couldn't be proud of their Grandma facebooking and on a laptop no less!

Noah crashes after our trip
