Spoiling Lunch

I'd venture to say she liked it....

Sugar Sand Festival

Our visits to Clearwater usually coincide with the annual Sugar Sand Festival, but this is the first year that we've actually gone to check it out.  As you can see, the sculptures were pretty impressive!

The theme this year was Fairy Tales.  This was Rupunzel's Castle.

Harry Potter -- This was neat to see, since we've read the kids a couple of the earlier Harry Potter books.  

Little Mermaid is still always a favorite.

We're hoping to go see the stars of Dolphin Tale (Winter and Hope) during our visit this year.  We saw Winter years ago when the kids were real little, and last fall Grammy & Grampy actually took the kids to see the movie when it was in the theater.

Clearwater Beach pier.

Beach Day!

Pretty sure the ocean was warmer than the pool today! 

Hey, look who decided to join us!  Daddy arrived yesterday after his business travels and will be with us until Tuesday.

Finishing off the day at the pool (of course!).

Island Way

All fancied up for an al fresco dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Clearwater.  Aiden was a doll and read to Bree while we waited for our food to be served.  :-)

Thanks for dinner Grammy & Grampy!

Yay for Warm Weather!

After the winter we had, this warm weather vacation was certainly well deserved!  Time to hit the pool!

Life Is Crap!

Sooo....Parking was a bit of a nightmare when we arrived at Manchester Airport earlier this afternoon.  I was getting frustrated, and Aiden says (much to my horror...), "I wish I had Grampy's t-shirt to wave in the air right now -- Life is Crap! (*giggle, giggle*)"  Fast forward to our arrival in Tampa, when Grampy picks us up at the airport wearing said t-shirt!  To make the story even funnier, Grampy apparently leaves this particular t-shirt in Florida, so Aiden hadn't even seen it in a year!  Memory like a steal trap....

Traveling Is Getting A WHOLE Lot Easier!

Flying solo (for the first time ever) with these two to Florida, but so far, so good!
