Trip to Florida

Daddy had a business trip in Palm Beach Florida. Our family decided to make a family vacation out of it.

That is our plane!


We flew into Florida a few days before the conference and spent some time in Orlando. Here Daddy and I relax in the pool.


On this particular night we decided Ghirardelli ice cream was a suitable dinner choice.


For this first part of the trip we decided to visit Sea World.


I had a chance to feed a dolphin.


We also had a chance to see a few shows.


I liked this girl!


Here Daddy and I check out some exhibits.


We sat in the Splash zone, but Shamu didn't get us wet.


I was even tall enough to ride this roller coaster.


Sea World was pretty cool.


I even got my very own Shamu to take home with me!

The Duck Derby

Our local mall had a duck derby where the proceeds went to benefit Youth Emergency Services & Shelter.


At the derby they had tons of fun activities.


I can climb these things all by myself now!


I think I am a little higher up than I originally thought!


There go all 25,000 of the ducks, one of them is mine!


Grandma C. and I find a good spot to watch the race.

Easter

Here are a few pictures of our various 2011 Easter activities.

One can not go to the Mall without riding the train and ........


......talking to the bunny!


Here I am dying some Easter Eggs.


It was chilly this Easter, but that did not stop me from going out for the hunt!


The family gets ready for Easter service.


I got to sit by Uncle Rob.


Here is the whole family after Easter Brunch!

Go Fly a Kite!

It has been a little windy here lately so we decided to fly a kite. Here I help Daddy put the kite together.


Next Daddy and I try to get the kite up in the air.


I decided that I would teach Daddy how it is done. Daddy, you just stand there.


Flying kites is fun!

Dinner with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Rob

Mommy, Daddy, and I decided to catch dinner with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Rob one night at a local Mexican place.

After I filled up with chips, Aunt Jenny kept me entertained with her I-Phone.

It was fun guys we'll have to do it again sometime soon!

Maybe one day, I'll be as tall as Uncle Rob.

Back in Iowa

We decided to have a nice picnic at the zoo with Grandma W when we got back.















Here we are checking out the otters.















Here I am feeding the fish one pellet at a time. It can sometimes take a little while;)















It is one pellet at a time for the goats also!















Don't worry grandma I will help you across.

Cousin Logan's Birthday in Ohio

While we were in Ohio, our Cousin Logan turned 16!















I'm ready to help him finish his cake!




















Happy Birthday Logan!
















Here I play with the Sadie the puppy. Watch out Sam I was about to trade you in for her.
















Uncle David and I decide to finally finish off the rest of the sausage from breakfast before we called it a day.















Unfortunately our Cousin Kaia was a little under the weather and could not make it but that was OK since Aunt Velma help make sure I wasn't bored.















As always it was a fun trip. Can't wait to see you all next year.
