I'm Back!

My family and I had a GREAT weekend away! On Saturday we went to the parade....the rain held off long enough for the parade and for us to walk around and see all the booths that were set up.
My daughters favorite was the FSU Marine Biologist booth. Four FSU students had a water tank set up with all kinds of different "sea animals" for the kids to touch and hold. My daughter played in that tank for almost 1 hour..... she was shrivelled when I made her let some other kids have their turn. She was not afraid at all.... she held starfish, sea cucumbers, fiddler crabs, sea urchins and a horseshoe crab. My son, being the brave sole that he is, would not touch any of them! His dad was so proud! Sorry honey, I wouldn't touch the sea cucumber with a 10 foot pole either.
It was great to see my parents and have a little break. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.....


Here is the gang waiting on the parade to start....

Here is my baby girl playing with a star fish.... notice my baby boy in the background having nothing to do with it!!
