We were lucky to get to take a trip to Florida again this year for about 2 weeks around the 4th of July. We've done this the past couple years, and I really like this tradition! This year, it was a bit more complicated b/c I've always driven without Brannon since he works & just meets us on the weekend of the 4th, but driving with two kiddos was just not something I was up for! So, my parents & in-laws stepped up to the plate! Poppee bought a one way ticket up to Atlanta and then drove down to the beach with me (anything to get to see the grandkids!) and my parents rode back to Atlanta with me at the end of our trip :)We had a lot of fun at the beach. Mackenzie was pretty scared of the ocean & waves, so she didn't go out in the water too much but had a fantastic time in the sand and with buckets of water :) Keelyn LOVED the ocean. She took amazing naps on the beach each day, falling asleep on whoever was holding her! She also went out in the ocean with Poppee pretty deep and really enjoyed it :) She seems to be our water girl!
We enjoyed getting there the Tuesday before the weekend of the 4th b/c
there was very few folks on the beach. The weather was pretty good. Pretty hot, but not as hot as it had been. We had some afternoon showers, but we were always off the beach by that time. We also spent a day at a neat Turtle research center where they do state of the art medical treatments on sea turtles that are sick or hurt and have been rescued. Another day, Brannon's cousin's three kids came and spent a day at the beach with us, so Mackenzie got to play with her (2nd?) cousins and it was nice to have some kids around for her!Mackenzie & her cousins

Meemi & Mackenzie checking out the sea turtle tanks. You can see one in the mirror reflecting back so they could be seen more easily.
