Here we go on a spring break trip to see Oma Sue and Goomba in Florida! I LOVE traveling with this crew these days. They make it so easy - even if you are packing THIS many bags, golf bags, etc... They are great travelers - and honestly make it fun! 
Grabbed a rental car (big enough to fit all those bags) and hit Doc Fords for dinner!
Here's the whole crew! Love being with my folks in the place they enjoy so much!
First stop is the ocean - with a new fishing net that Drew is determined to figure out.
Thankful to rent a car that fit us ALL. Now we are headed to a spot Oma Sue has wanted to check out. About an hour away called Babcock Ranch
The bus and tour guide were quite the hoot - the wild life was unique to the area and therefore VERY different than what we normally see. Baby crocodiles, wild hogs - learning plenty about the local plantings and how they help against bugs and sunscreen. He was a wealth of knowledge and I don't think he ever stopped talking.
Feeding time for the wild boars
We rounded the corner and came up on this HUGE amount of crocodiles that seemed to be arguing about something. The tour guide was even shocked. We were on a bridge when I took this photo (which was a bit un-nerving for me) but the tour guide spoke lots about them.
Here is the family souvenir for us!
Look what this guy pulled out of the ocean!! Shane the fisherman! A SCHOOK! and a big one at that. Lots of folks came by to check it out. We sent it back, but not without a photo.
Love how my folks enjoy the sunsets nightly - simply beautiful. Nature at its best - nice to slow down to enjoy it.
Here is the lead fisherman
Love this evening shadowy photo of the boys that never slow down.
Chris had a great idea to rent these bikes and get some miles out to the tip of the island. It was EARLY morning and Nick was the first one up - shows that he was really interested and kicked our butts! Worth doing and it was great doing it with him!
The big boys went golfing and we went mini golfing! We let this guy pick it out - feeding the crocodiles and all.
These 2 are just too cute together. Love this capture.
Here is one happy kid with a new suit
Another adventure day and this time on the water for some deep sea fishing. Drew proved to be quite the fisherman and bill hooked us up to the great spots. We listened to the OLDEST twangiest country music I have ever heard.
Check out THIS fisherman. It was an EFFORT reeling in the SHARK - Chris rocked it and than our guide was very schooled into how to grab it, take the hook out and let us hold it. THIS was impressive.
They handed this guy around (I myself was not interested) the boys all got to feel what a baby shark feels like.
SUCCESS!
Chris and I scooted out for a cocktail one evening. On the walk back I saw this bird and he looked like he was offering up his fishing opinion to this gentleman.
Excited to capture these family shots before our departure back to real life the next day.
The whole crew!
love this guy and our adventures together.
Not a bad looking crew
Thank you to my folks for hosting. I love the time with you guys in your happy place.
