At the Airport Heading Home

Here are the last of our Florida pictures
At the airport hanging out with Opa, some quick lunch at Burger King
Then we headed over to our gate
We had quite a while to wait for the plane to arrive
At the airport right next to our gate was an indoor play ground
There was a fun slide
and some climbing areas
Holly had fun exploring and playing with the other kids
Its a great idea to have this at the airport
a chance for the little ones to get the wiggles out before the long plane rides
Here is Holly making friends
She tries to play with others wherever she goes
My little social butterfly
The plane ride was uneventful. A quick trip to Atlanta, Then asleep the rest of the way home!

Hanging Around in Florida

Here are some pictures from Oma and Opa's house
Holly giving Opa a hug
Having some frozen yogurt while out shopping
Here she is hanging out with Ruth
Reading a book
Here is Holly with Auntie Marilyn
Aren't they so cute together
Holly says Hooray
It was really great that she got a chance to spend time with my dad's sister
Most of the time Marilyn is in Georgia and she just got a house up there
But she happened to be visiting the same time as we were
Here is Holly playing with Pyro
He was wearing a t-shirt because he had an owie on his belly
Here is Holly in the car
And here we are visiting Opa's train house
Holly and Oma are peaking out at us
Here we are at the other house, Holly is inspecting the swing
When she looked up close she saw a little lizard
Hugging Pyro was a favorite daily activity
Here Holly is pulling around her toys in her suitcase
And here she is having breakfast with Oma, Yummy yogurt
Playing with her iPod Touch during one of our car trips
Playing with a toy car
Playing dress-up. We had a wonderful visit even just hanging around
Little Tinkerbell! It was a fun trip

A Lanturn for Holly

While we were in Florida, Opa had a big surprise for Holly
A lantern of her very own, just like in Rapunzel
We weren't able to light it ourselves, the fire and all
But she was super excited watching Opa
And then he let go. It floated up into the air
We watched it go over the house and to the sky, There it is in the distance
Just a little speck after several minutes, Holly said it turned into a star.

Swimming @ Auntie Janelle's

Here we are over at Auntie Janelle's house taking a dip in her pool. Florida was hot, around 95 or higher each day and Humid

So most days we either stayed safely inside with the AC or we were in a pool. We went swimming three times during the trip, Once over at Karel's house

But I don;t have pictures from that day. We went over with Marilyn and it was a lot of fun.

On this day we invited pat and his daughter Maddy who is also almost two. to join us.

Holly had lots of fun playing with Baby Maddy and she had a load of fun playing with her big cousin Jen

She was obsessed with the stairs and she was playing with some cups and doing a lot of pouring games

She was having a fun time. She was also swimming with the noodle but there pool had a deep end where Mommy could not stand

She kept trying to inch around the edge of the entire pool, but on the far side it was tricky for me to help her along

We had a great time visiting with everyone and having a nice cool swim

After we dried off Holly was excited to dress up in her pretty dress

Jen gave her a pretty barrette for her hair and also let her play with one of her pretty purses

We had a fun visit. Here is Opa settling Holly back into the car, we headed out for dinner with Maddy and her parents.
