Watching the bird show

At Bass Pro Shop

We just got back from a wonderful family trip to the keys. We stayed in a condo/villa with my brother, Stacie and the kids. My parents were above us with my sister and Saylor. The place was absolutely beautiful. The weather was a record low... but not complaining. It was in the high 60's for most of the time. The first day, we were able to play in the water and get some sun. The rest of the trip was sunny, but chilly in the shade. We were busy playing in the sand, taking walks, playing tennis, the guys fished and golfed and the girls did some shopping. The kids played from the moment they woke up to the minute they went to bed. Lilly's first words every morning were "Pres".
While there, we took the kids to a bird sanctuary. It was neat... some birds were in cages, and others were walking around and flying above us. At one point,there was 10 or more of them above us perched on the roof to a cage while I was holding Lilly... just watching us. I was nervous they were going to either come at us or poop on our heads! An umbrella would have been perfect!
Another memorable afternoon was the dolphin show. Lilly's face was worth a thousand words. She loved it... she was clapping and "woo hooing" the whole show! While there, we took a boat ride on a "bottomless" boat. It was really neat. The dolphin swam in the middle of the boat while doing tricks for us! We also saw a bird show and a sea lion show.
Needless to say, it was a great trip full of lots of memories.

Lilly Lately: Well she continues to talk more and more. She is calling Whitaker by name now instead of dog. She is doing a pretty good job of cleaning up after herself (and sings the clean up song while doing it!), she knows where her heart is and can show you where yours is. She loves to get her nails done. She just seems like she is getting so big. I feel like the past week or so she acts like such a big girl. Really soon, she'll be 2 and can show you on her fingers and say 2!
Hope all is well with you all!

Love,
Kelli
