Marco Island 2012

a REAL baby alligator!  I wasn't even a little bit afraid.

Neither was Mama T,

but Luke was!

ready for the airboat ride!

And we're off!

Mermaid in the sand

On the boat.  Look, Lucy was there with us!  It was her first boat ride.  Willie stayed with Gigi and Lucy had a blast running on the beaches and riding on the boat.

"Sweet little crab"

The second week in September marked Luke's very first trip (on the outside) to Marco Island.  The last time we went Mom was pregnant with him, so he couldn't really enjoy himself.  We had loads of fun with Mama T and Daddy Bob.  We played on the beach, picked up shells, took boad rides, spotted dolphins and manatee, and took a fun airboat ride where we saw a HUGE alligator!  Mama T and Daddy Bob's friend Nancy took some fun family photos of us at sunset one night.  I smiled a lot, because there was promise of an ice cream reward....

Labor Day weekend

Keeping cool

HItching a ride

Watching the parade

I taught Luke all about picking up the candy everyone throws from the floats.  It didn't take him long to get in the game.

Ferris wheel.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

A corn dog, unicorn face paint and light up butterfly wand.  I LOVE the fair.

Here are a few photos from our Labor day weekend in La Grange.  We went to the parade and the fair and just spent lots of fun time at Blackjack.

End of summer fun!

We are really trying to squeeze in every last bit of summer fun around here.  Here's how we did it this week.

Story time at the library

Swimming at Lifetime.  And flirting with the cute lifeguard.  

 Matthew and Lillian got to have another sleepover last night.  We watched Spiderman and chased each other around after a full afternoon in the pool.

Mom and Dad at Suzy's Soldiers.  We stayed home with Sabrina, my old swim teacher. We had tons of fun!
