Florida Vacation 2014

As promised, lots of pictures of our vacation to Florida.  Not much to say other than the weather was great, we went to the beach and the pool, and that's about it!  Oh, one trip to the park and two for ice cream.  Other than that we relaxed in or near the water!

Ellis loved the water from the moment we got to the beach; he barely came out of it!

Swimsuit model pose!

Iris could float for hours in this thing!

The only picture of me from the trip, and it isn't very good...

Where does she get that pose from?

Pool races!

And so concludes our family vacation...without one single picture of our family.  Ugh.  Why don't I think of these things in time?  Lots of great memories though!

Other Randomness

Before and after vacation we continue with our normal busy lives.

Ellis and I spent a day together after discovering (the hard way) that he has a severe peanut allergy:(

Ellis flirting with his Valentine and best friend Eddy on Valentine's Day!

Can you believe Cindarella herself came to the birthday party?

Ellis had no problem cozying up next to her!

 First day home from vacation, the kids adjusted well to the temperature change!

At the allergist for allergy testing.  This required lots of treats:)

 

Last Sunday Nora ran in a kids trail race organized by a friend.  Shockingly, she completed the 1.8 mile coarse with only one meltdown after a slip in the mud-she wanted a change of clothes on the race course :) 

 Hill repeats to warm up

Working hard!

Thumbs up:)

Strong finish!

 Nora and Rocco.  Can you believe how tall he is?
