Day 3 ~ Captiva Island... my favorite beach!












The tip of South Captiva Island.. we are heading to North Captiva by boat in a few days!




I had to take a photo of this hat because I am amazed at how many people from Indiana are down here... they are everywhere and they love to point it out to each other!






 
We stopped at the Lazy Flamingo on our way home for a late lunch and played the ring toss.. (or as the girls still call it.. the "pink flamingo")







Elise finally hooked the ring and the entire place clapped for her.. her face turned bright red... it was so cute.. (she blushes like her mommy).

AND.... they are wiped out!

Day 2... off to Sanibel Island!!

We spent a big part of the day on Sanibel Island.. it is beautiful and has great shells!





Grandpa chasing Elise with water... it was so funny.. she was screaming and he was running... with his new hips!!

First Day in Florida!

 
We left the rainy cold weather to go to Ft. Myers, Florida for a week to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hubbard... it was a picture perfect week of sunshine, good food, and AWESOME company!
Lauren immediately put on her summer clothes, poured a glass of freshly squeezed OJ and sat outside!


The girls discovered Grandma's bike and started riding the loops! 

Grandpa giving Lauren a ride on his bike...







Off to the Lani Kai's Sundeck Glider Lounge... right on the beach with a beautiful view and cheap beer!




Sorry it's a little blurry!






We had a little birthday party for Lauren.. Happy 7th Birthday!!

Getting ready for vacation!!

The girls and I went to the salon and got manicures and pedicures.. it was their first experience and they LOVED it... we had so much fun.  They even got a free Diet Coke!

"From Here to There"- Lauren's First Grade Concert

Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than watching my kids choir concerts.  There is just something about their innocence, smiles and joy that just makes me smile.  With all of the chaos in the world these days.. this is what keeps me grounded.. my kids!!






















Reagen, Halle and Lizzy- 3 of Lauren's good friends!!

Faith Feurhelm... Lauren's best buddy and neighbor!!
