Dolphins and Parasailing

One of my favorite things we did in Florida was taking the Little Toot out on a dolphin watching tour.  It was so fun to watch these playful creatures jump in the waves behind the boat.  Anna spotted some jellyfish also and got an international grandmother all excited.  She followed Anna excitedly as Anna acted as tour guide!  It really was an incredible feeling, though, hearing people from all over the world excited over God’s creation.  We also parasailed while there.  This was Abigail’s first time to parasail.  She loved it.  Everyone loved it!  Dylan did question me once, though, “Mommy, what if there is an airplane up here?”  I think he was making sure we wouldn’t collide!  Toward the middle of our ride, Dylan began asking me when he could go to space.  We had gone that far…may as well go all the way!  We ate at some favorite restaurants (Crabby Bill’s and Bubba Gumps…I think they have the most adorable serving trays for kids) and found the cutest ice cream shop that looked liked something from Willy-Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on the inside.  On the outside it had the cutest, brightest colors.  More photos to come in another post…

P.S. I threw in a random photo of this bird on our balcony one morning.  He hung around for such a long time.  It made the funniest noises, and the kids would answer it back.  It was such a funny sight watching them conversing back and forth.  The kids found it hilarious!
