Sundaes with Santa

We had sundaes with Santa Claus tonight! 

Our community hosted the event and the girls had a blast!

Thank you Dawn for Audrey's cute dress and thank you mom for Addison's cute dress!

Thanksgiving week 2014

We had an awesome Thanksgiving week with family this year.

We took a trip to the sandcastle festival on Fort Myers Beach. It was the beginning of the festival so many of the sculptors were still working, but it was neat to see the beginning of the process.

The next day we went out on the water.

I love these girls!

Everyone took turns as captain.

We had some good grub! Caught ya, mom! Honey baked ham on the water just tastes so much better!

Uncle Scotty gathering the girls!

On Monday, Mom babysat the girls while Tiffany, Rob and I went to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. We meet Andrew and Chandra Sale there too! The museum building and location are both stunning. The museum was also featuring Picasso at the same time. I enjoyed learning about both their work and lives. Thank you for watching the girls, Mom, and giving me this adult day!

The girls were sharing a room and waking up much, much earlier than normal! So mom entertained Audrey while we waited for the sun to rise!

We got to celebrate my Dad's 68th birthday over some yummy stir fry!

We took a trip to the Naples Zoo. Addison and Mom fed the giraffes! So cool!

These cool boys met us at the zoo...good uncles!

The morning of Thanksgiving we woke up incredibly early for some reason and walked the Turkey Trot. 

We had Thanksgiving meal out on Captiva.

After dinner we went to see the sunset, it was the first time for the girls to see the sunset on the ocean.

We went to the Six Mile Cypress Slough for a walk. 

We didn't manage to scare away all the wildlife!

 We stopped by Nana and Papa's house for an amazing dinner with family before heading home!
