Some final Florida pictures

Here are Carter, Ethan and Miguel in a gazebo at Great Grandma Stevenson's place.
In the pool at Great Grandma's on Thanksgiving Day.
Mindy was finally able to coax Miguel out into the water, as long as she didn't let go!
This was as far as Guelly would go. Even Carter would go farther!
Checking things out at Great Grandma's place.
Carter is finally feeling better. It was a long week for me and Carter - it is no fun being sick on vacation.
Another sunset from the deck.
Alex and Hannah lend a hand making the guacamole.

Today's adventure....

The big 4 with their lights that I got from the Bookman at school. So much fun!
On the boat for the dolphin cruise. They lost our reservation for the 3:30 cruise and said they weren't having one, but let us on the 5pm cruise for the same money. Here is the crew just seconds before Alex threw up.

Beautiful sunset.
The Fritz family.

Dolphins

Hannah watching for the big fish.

Alex was in need of a nap.

We are in Florida!!

Went out to eat at a place called Cipriati's - Italian food, had 2 different pizzas (one with goat cheese), a pasta dish, sausage roll and chicken strips and fries. Here is Dan's mom watching the crew.
Hannah and Mark wait patiently for food. She is feeling much better. Hannah had the honor of throwing up in the vehicle on the ride down.
Nacho, Guelly, Dan and Mark

Ethan, Mindy, Carter and Kevin. Carter appears to be feeling better too. He had the distinction of wetting through his diaper and into his car seat.
Alex was a bit grumpy when we first got there. He had fallen asleep in the van.
Nothing like a big slice of pizza to get the juices flowing again.
Sunset on Ft. Myers Beach from our second story balconey.
Grandma and Alex check out the water while Ethan and Miguel are fascinated with my ipad.
Nothing like an ipad at the beach.
The crew down on the beach, before Mindy slept most of the afternoon to get over her sickness.
Guelly up on deck.
Here is the house from the shore.
Neighbors a couple of houses down had a plane sand sculpture on the beach.
Checking it out.
