Uncle Billy's Visit

My brother, Bill visited last weekend. It was awesome to see him. Ava really enjoyed her time with her uncle. It had been a year since we had visited one another so I am happy that he could make it down to visit.

Englewood Beach

Last evening we went to Englewood Beach at sunset. It was beautiful! The sky was perfect and Ava had a fantastic time! We had a lot of fun watching her take in everything. The water was really warm and while we did not go swimming we all got our feet wet whether we wanted to or not. For some reason I do not have pictures of that, I don't know why?! Next time. We hope you enjoy our fun!

Disney Trip

At the end of July, prior to my first day back at school, we took a little trip to Disney. Now, some may think that we are completely CRAZY f or attempting to take a 13 month old to Disney (and I would normally concur), however, we were going to meet Lou's cousin Steve and his family and thought it would be fun to see them in Orlando during their vacation. Normally, when they visit Florida they drive from Orlando to see us. Well, it turns out we were crazy and the trip did not go very well. The main problem was that Ava would not sleep in a different environment. Unfortunately, we cut our trip short. On the upside, we did get a couple of good pictures in front of the castle and our hotel was very cool (theme was New Jersey Boardwalk). Anyway, I don't think we will attempt Disney again for a very long time.
