Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

I was having issues with running people over so Jeff took over on pushing the stroller! Abby was watching for Penguins...She loves Happy Feet so it was almost like meeting Mumble! Jeff, Abby and me enjoyed watching the Tiger show.... Apparently Discovery Kingdom has some of the few tigers in the world that will dive in captivity. In the wild tigers love using water for helping to catch their prey but its rare in captivity. The trainers would throw RAW meat into the water and the tigers would dive in for it. Abby and I before the show started! Her face all lit up watching the tigers!

We got to ride on Harold the Helicopter in Thomas Town! Believe it or not there was a TON of leg room. Batman and Robin had blown us off about a half hour prior to this. We realized then that they were on their way to the bat mobile. My favorite part of the day was the butterfly house. Stilt lady was pretending to be a bird. Abby was in love with the colors on her outfit and she was nice enough to bend down and say hi to her!

Sarasota

Sunset at Siesta Key...Dancing in the drum circle. The shower after the beach. We got ice cream at Kilwins...I agreed to this after two glasses of wine. Alligator Alley on the way to Sarasota. Me, Abby, my Grandma Suzanna, and my Grandfather Olgert. He cried with happiness when he saw my Abbigail. Said to thank the Lord he got to see her. She loved running into and out of the water at Siesta Key. The drum circle on Siesta Key happens every weekend on Sundays... My mother seemed to really like it.

First Day in Florida

Hanging out by the pool! Taking a break after dessert! Four generations gathered together! That's me, my mother, Abby and my mother's mother Edith. My cousin Angela joined Abby, me, my mother, and my Grandmother Edith. Three generations only in this photo as Abby refused to sit still for more photos! We went to the Festival Indoor Flea Market where they had a New York Pickle Co. This is Abby chowing down on a dill pickle! My Aunt Marsha sits by the pool on this 93 degree day. Abby was sucking down the water on this uber-hot day. My mom in her Prius.... Mr. Potato Head and his Veggie friends....

Milk goes with EVERYTHING!

I don't know how you feel about milk but I think I am starting to hate it! Abby will dunk, pour, and soak anything in milk as long as its available. DISGUSTING!!!! It's a good thing I love her cause otherwise I would ask for a new baby!

Abby Update!

After running through the sprinkler its always fun to sit in the dirt! I don't know how she does it but those are almost 4 inch heels and she can walk perfectly in them! At least these clothes are easy to get off for when you are playing in a mixture of water and sand! I wonder if the sandy butt made that uncomfortable in any way? Abby tried to climb down the climbing wall at the playground the wrong way! "I need attention right now mommy!"

It's always fun trying to convince Abby to slow down for few minutes so she can eat her food! Time to take a breather from playing! About to go down the slide at McDonalds toddler play area. I think she spotted a car here! I love this photo because Abby and I both look so happy!

Abby is going to be a nerd if I can help it! Here she is playing D&D! She even throws the dice when asked! Jeff and Abby climbed to the top of the second story of the play structure and then came down on the slide. Abby tries to go back up to the top via Jeff as a ladder! It was pretty scary seeing Abby and Jeff in a flimsy tube play structure 15 feet off the ground!

Abby and her Aunt Jamie were watching TV together! Abby and her boyfriend Matthew! They were holding hands and sharing snacks while we were walking!

Jeff and I went to see the A's play the Cardinals. The Friday night before the A's stomped the Cardinals 14 to 3.....

...unfortunately when we went the Cardinals repaid the favor by stomping the A's 15 to 6!
