spring break

We enjoyed getting away to somewhere warm so much for spring break last year that we did it again this year!

We drove to Norfolk on Suday and flew to Ft. Lauderdale.

It didn't take the kids long to get in the pool.

Nothing soothes the soul quite like the beach.

Jason, Bryce, Chase and MeMa went on a shark dive experience on the first day and the rest of us hung back at the beach. 

MeMa rode in the boat and watched, but the boys got in the water with the sharks.  No cages, just a rope to hold onto and a snorkel.  CRAZY people!

Made for the beach!

Cutie patootie!

We cleaned up after a fun day and went out to dinner.

Day 2 was all about the sun and sand.  We used a ton of sunscreen, but we all got a brighter shade of red each day.  Our winter selves weren't ready for the Florida sun!

There's never a dull moment with this one.  He would have eaten it if it were big enough. 

Tuesday night we went to a Miami Marlins game and checked another stadium off our list.  This was number 17.

Ice cream in a helmet is a must.

An outfielder threw him a ball!  He's gotten a ball from almost every major league game we've been to. 

We spent our last day soaking up more sun!

This was exactly what we needed to help us make it to summer break. 

We enjoyed this trip away together, but it truly wasn't the same without Jason's dad.  PaPa was happiest at the beach with his family and we definitely missed his presence.
