Florida Vacation 09'

Life has been so crazy, I'm not even really sure what happened in the months of January and February. Again, finishing graduate school has kept life jumping. So...my one rescue was a break from it all and a well needed vaca in Florida!! We went with my parents, my brother and sister-in-law to Ft. Lauderdale, Weston and Jupiter Florida for St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training. It was ABSOLUTELY wonderful to get away for a week!

James and Layni playing in the ocean, it was hard to keep her away.

The first stop was Ft. Lauderdale where we spent a day at the beach! Layni and Brooks were extremely excited. Layni loved the sand and water. Brooks loved the water too much! We're thinking he thought it was a gigantic bathtub!!

Layni loved the sand. Loves visiting the beach!

Brooks was very excited to see the "big bath tub"! It was a full-time job keeping him from jumping in.

We stayed in Weston, Florida for the remainder of the vacation. My parent's have a time share and we were fortunate to go along for the ride! There was a lot of relaxing, sunning and laying by the pool for us. Florida evidently was experiencing a drought, but while we were there it rain everyday for awhile...I believe they are no longer in a drought!!!

Brooks' happy face in the pool!

These are some of the other visitors at the resort, do you notice anything interesting about them?

St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training was fun. It was basically scaled down version of a major league ballpark with everything a major league game could offer! It was fun being so close to the field and players.

Brooks loves being outdoors and loves baseball, especially his St. Louis Cardinals.

It's baseball season, YEAH!!
