Birthday party!

(After all the other kids had gone back to play who was left? A hungry little bug still focused on his cupcake.)

Legoland!

Strawberry picking!

Everglades

We spent three days in Everglades National Park with Go Joy and Grandpa who were down from Tennessee for a visit. Our time together included a boat ride through the Ten Thousand Islands, a tram ride through Shark Valley (yes, a valley in Florida, though you wouldn't know it to see it), and even an encounter with an enormous rattlesnake on a short nature trail next to a children's exhibit. Happily, we were able to extract ourselves without incident. The photos from 'elevation' are taken from the observation tower at the mid-point of the tram ride. We enjoyed seeing lots of wildlife and getting a taste of Everglades culture (though only Grandpa actually ate gator), but I think the kids will probably mostly remember playing Uno with Go Joy and Grandpa.
