Gatorland

We went to Gatorland one day with Haylee and Chris. It was really neat. It was amazing how many gators were actually there. It's definitely called Gatorland for a reason! We got to feed them hot dogs, which made them swarm and pounce on them. It was really cool to see them so active.

Go Bucs!

We got to go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL football game in Tampa, Florida. We had really close seats, which made it really fun. It was really cool to go to a NFL game, and Skylee had a blast. She even had an official Bucs jersey, thanks to Haylee and Chris. The Bucs ended up losing by 1 point to Jacksonville, so it was a really good game.

Being Silly

As you all know, Skylee loves being silly so here are a few of her silly Florida moments. And no, we don't put Skylee in the dog cage when she's naughty...she decided that it was fun to hang out in the cage for some reason.

Looking for Manatees

In Florida, there are a lot of places that you can go to see manatees. You can even pet them if you can get close enough. They like the warmer water of the inlets there. We went a couple times to see if we could see some, but we never did. Skylee was just as happy with the flower that she found.

The Magic Kingdom at Disney World

We spent a day at The Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando. It was one of the funnest things that we did while we were in Florida. We went the day before Halloween so the entire park was decorated for Halloween...it was really cool. We all had a blast there, especially Skylee. She got excited at literally everything she saw. It was fun to see her reactions to things and to see her having so much fun. She loved getting her picture taken with Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Pluto...but I think her favorite thing was going on the rides. She even learned how to say "ride" before the day was over.

Skylee's New Friend

Haylee and Chris had some of their friends come over to have their little girl trick or treat with Skylee. She was just a few months older than Skylee and they got along really well. After we went trick or treating, we all went back to Haylee and Chris's house to hang out. Skylee taught Sophie how to do somersaults and that was all they did all night. They were really cute playing together.

Happy Halloween from Florida!!

Halloween in Florida was fun but very different. Trick or Treating in 70 degree weather and seeing palm trees everywhere is kind of strange. It was seriously a huge neighborhood party. Everyone was sitting out on their lawn chairs drinking their beers and socializing and there were more people out trick or treating than I think I've ever seen. Skylee had a blast but ended up getting warm and unzipping her Elmo costume so she was walking around with her belly hanging out.

Justyn's Helicopter Ride

Justyn got to go on a helicopter ride with Chris and Haylee (I had a cold and didn't feel good so Skylee and I stayed home). Here are some of the views of Florida from the air.
