Vacation 2010

We headed to Jacksonville Beach, FL again this year for vacation and to spend time with family. Despite falling ill to colds, pink eye, sinus infections, and an ear infection, we managed to have a good time.

Of course we went to the beach. No signs of oil thank goodness. This year Caroline decided she hated the beach so we only went a couple of times. She didn't like the sand on her or the taste of salt in the water. Little diva.Kate enjoyed it though. As did Jonah. He's always loved the beach. A true beach baby.We spent a lot of time at the pool. Once everyone's pink eye cleared up. Just like Jonah, the girls are totally unafraid of the water and leap right in. Even if they sink to the bottom. They come up, cough up pool water, and jump right in again. We spent one day at an alligator farm. They had every type of alligator and crocodile in the world on exhibit. They also had a feeding demonstration where they fed the alligators dead rats. The kids loved it. Yuck.As you can tell from poor Kate's flushed cheeks it was super hot!
And of course good food and sweets are always necessary to make any vacation complete. Mmmmmmm!

Looks like a great time! Next year, Iris and I are stowing away in the trunk.
BTW, Iris misses Caroline and Kate. Need a play date!
