VACATION ADVENTURES in Cocoa Beach, FL -- Part 1



So here is the view from Mimi and Papa's condo in sunny Florida... breathtaking right, it is every time we go there. Our trips are filled with many adventures including morning and afternoon beach time, pool play, naps, reading, playtime, a day-trip to Miami to see Uncle Craig and Isabel, great food, a trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom and lots and lots of great FAMILY TIME!

  Here is a pic of Grady diggin' in the sand.  He brought all his diggers and cars from Mimi's house and we all took turns helping him make castles and roads that he would play with for 1 minute and then gleefully destroy... I also want you to take note of all the smiles I got out him.  Maybe a few.  Smiling for the camera is not a favorite activity for my three year old stinker! 


Building with Daddy...




And here it is! 










Here are the very first pictures of our new swimmer!  Yes, he picked up this new and exciting skill on vacation at Mimi and Papa's house!  I was starting to put the water wings on Grady (and for those of you who have been around him for 1 minute knows that my little man is somewhat stubborn...) and he told me he didn't want to wear them he would just swim.  I was tired and didn't feel the need to fight that battle.  Anyone who has a three year old knows that some battles are worth fighting and others are not... we were all in the pool and the worst that could happen would be he might swallow a little water.  He has no fear of water (or anything for that matter) so the next thing we know he is pushing off or Mimi and swimming to Daddy about 5 feet away.  He proceeded to do this back and forth thing with us for the next 6 days.  He is also now jumping in and then swimming to us -- scoopers and kicks just like Mrs. Kasi taught him last summer. 
We are so proud of our swimmer!!!  "Go DOLPHIN" as Papa says!
