Florida Vacation

We had a wonderful time in Florida, and took lots of pictures so this post is a little long! We did nearly everything outside, and Nora enjoyed many meals on the patio.
Nora dipped her toes with Auntie Claire Monday morning
while Jeff and Jason had a floatie blowing-up contest. I can't say who the winner was, it was a hotly contested event.

Later on, Nora got in the pool for the first time and loved it!
She enjoyed her floatie and 'swimming' in Mom's arms after her water weeble wabble and beachball.
A post-swim snuggle.
The next day, we were off to the beach on Sanibel Island.
Nora loved watching the waves and activity on the beach, but didn't enjoy the sand or cold water. We all enjoyed watching the dolphins feed so close to shore.



The beach tired Nora out, and Grandma's singing put her right to sleep at happy hour.

She rebounded later on that evening and had some ice cream from a cone just her size!
After a few cooler days, some adult illnesses and Nora cutting a top tooth, we were back at the beach on Friday. Again, Nora didn't like the sand and lifted her feet when set down in it.

But then she got over it, and even braved the cold water!

All this fun on the beach makes a girl thirsty...
Another happy hour outside and some snuggles with Grandpa.
Friday evening, we enjoyed a breezy walk on Bunche Beach at sunset. Everyone enjoyed it so much!

Saturday was the best weather yet, so Nora was in the pool again, lounging with Dad.
One more snuggle with Grandpa before heading to the airport on Sunday morning.
Monday morning, Nora was happy, well rested and ready for another day at daycare.
