Florida Summer 2011, Part VIII

Still in the Sesame Street area, the kids cooled off in the water park. (cousin Connor, Grampa Ray and Uncle Ben went on their own to do more Connor-appropriate things. That worked out well!) See this image larger. I told him not to run. There were no casualties reported. See this image larger. Somebody red […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part VII

July 21st continues for the next couple of entries, we have a lot of pictures. Granted some of them are “mood” shots (like the next one, below) just to give you an idea of what the kids were seeing to make faces like this. (Keep in mind that the blog is for you and I […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part VI

July 21st, we were treated to an amazing day at Busch Gardens. Let’s open up with a big thank you for a whole lot of fun. Thank you! See this image larger. This is us arriving in the parking tram, Grampa Ray pretended it was like a roller coaster! See this image larger. Welcome to […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part V

July 20th, there’s a properly exposed beach shot. Hi family! See this image larger. Consider this a mood-shot. See this image larger. These guys played together pretty nice most of the time. Good sharing, etc. See this image larger. *Seriously? Ok look, if you don’t stop taking my picture I’m going to pretend I’m sleeping.* […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part IV

July 19th, and we’re back on the beach! Sand-covered zooey in 3…2…1… See this image larger. Family lunch! See this image larger. The day went by quickly… Ian and I joined the ladies while the rest of the fellas went to a baseball game. (I had joined the expedition too late to get tickets with […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part III

July 18th, and Nina decides all this warmth is good for a nap! (Must have been sudden… she couldn’t quite get that last goldfish cracker to her mouth, either!) See this image larger. Connor was a real pro with his boogie board! (And nice shot, Aunt Mel!) See this image larger. Here’s Aunt Mel, Kaylee […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part II

July 17th. I want to say this now, but you’ll hear it more than once. Connor is, frankly, an amazing young man. He was always really cool, and a hilarious kid… but throughout this vacation he responsibly looked after his sister and cousins, particularly Nina. And that’s on top of, in general, just being good. […]

Florida Summer 2011, Part I

Melissa and I really did need a vacation. Melissa was watching the kids a lot while I was finalizing my contest entry… and I was busy finalizing my contest entry. And the day after the contest deadline, we were at the airport, ready for a break! July 16th, and we’re on the plane! Ian doesn’t […]

Images That Time (Almost) Forgot, Part II

June 3rd, and Ian’s class ended up at our local zoo; they have a playground, apparently! I did not know that! See this image larger. Ian checks out a sculpture that used to be in the Grand River for Artprize, a competition for artists in the area. See this image larger. Posed specifically for Grandma […]

Images That Time (Almost) Forgot, Part I

Well, we’re almost caught up to the Florida trip! Before we go there, however, I wanted to show some images that are from Melissa’s laptop, her phone, and Melanie’s camera… these are shots that are from all over chronologically that I didn’t have access to when they fit in our story. So it is time […]
