Sanibel

We had a great time in Sanibel ... we were happy to get to warmer weather as Denver got another big snow storm while we were gone!  The pictures are a bit out of order, but you'll get the idea!
The kids all ready to go out and play the first morning

Chec
Fun in the waves
They loved playing in the sand and waves!
This was a lucky shot - she was just running around giggling at the waves!

The first time she saw the ocean she was thrilled that the waves kept coming back up to her feet; each time the wave would come up she'd say, "another one!  And another one!"  
They loved building sand castles and digging big holes, then adding water to "make hot chocolate" or "soupy sand"
Out to dinner one night
And another one
Our attempted sunset pictures ... we got there a bit late but still enjoyed it
All of us
You wouldn't believe the effort that went into getting them to stand still for this picture!
Another pretty sunset, this time we didn't miss it!  
Grammy and the kids
Griffin loved filling his bucket with water to dump in the holes he dug 
 Working hard
They also had fun digging the sand with their hands and then throwing it back in the ocean - it's the little things in life I guess! 
Griffin loves pool noodles and spent lots of time on it during the week 
It's vacation - might as well eat right out of the ice cream container when Mom and Dad's backs are turned! 
They are just the best buddies! 
Griffin 'going on a trip'  
Grace loved playing with the sea shells - here she is making us 'cakes'
 
We went on a sunset dolphin cruise one night and took this shuttle to get there

Some pictures from the dolphin cruise:




 They loved sitting in this chair together to eat breakfast
 Griffin loves the waves!
Playing in the waves

 Griffin LOVES the pool and loves jumping in the pool over and over again
We got some good shots of his crazy jumps!
Grace loves to swim too ... the life jacket is perfect for her since she hates to be held and wants to do it BY HERSELF.  She makes it very clear!

 Siblings and sand
It's hard to tell from the picture but the kids have started putting their 'babies' in their shirts ... Griffin regularly carries his Baby Cow around the house in his shirt now.
Baby Lamby in Grace's belly, Baby Cow in Griffin's belly, and Baby #3 in Mommy's (at 20 weeks - we're half way there)!
 A family shot
 Fun in the pool
Griffin really couldn't be any happier than when he's swimming!  He loved the surf board thing too

Bye Sanibel!  It was a wonderful trip and we miss it already!
