We were fortunate again this year to be able to spend some time in Florida with Steve's parents & grandmother who were staying there for a few months during the winter. The house this year was in Siesta Key and it was a lot of fun to get away as a family and spend some time having fun.
The weather this year was a lot warmer during our stay and the girls spent a good deal of time playing in the water. Here they are being silly. :-)
One item on my "bucket list" was to go parasailing and I'm happy to say that we finally made it happen! Sarah surprised us by wanting to go along and she did GREAT!! She never seemed to get nervous and had the biggest smile on her face the entire time! Here we are right as we're taking off from the boat.
We were pretty close to Tampa this year so Steve and I decided to take Sarah to Busch Gardens for a day to ride the rides. :-) We had a great time and took in just about everything the park had to offer. Here we are just getting started for the day.
The house was a bit of a revolving door this year with people coming and going every few days, but here was the group on our last day. Steve's aunt Patty had arrived from Texas to spend some time with everyone and we were happy we got to see here before heading home. We had a great time visiting with everyone and hope we can do it again next year.
More pictures of our trip can be found in the slideshow on the right hand side. Enjoy!
