More Spring Break Fun!

We are having a great time in Florida with the Klaasens. Tuesday was a rainy, cloudy, windy day. We walked to downtown Clearwater to have some lunch, did some shopping and the kids played at the playground for a while. Wednesday we went to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. We had a great time!! Got to see lots of animals and the kids got to ride some rides. Elyse and Jordyn loved the Tiger roller coaster! They were both a little hesitant the first time they rode it (I rode with Elyse and Christie rode with Jordyn) but they decided they were brave enough to go just the 2 of them. Here they are one of the first times riding by themselves. They are having a ball but notice they are hanging on!

But it wasn't long until it was hands up all the way!!!

When we got back to our condo - Jeff and I went out to dinner just the 2 of us, while Kevin and Christie watched all the kids. They took them down to the beach and Elyse was so excited when she found this starfish but she was quite surprised when Kevin told her it was still alive!!! They took this picture of Elyse with her starfish before throwing the starfish back into the water.

Today we took the boat to Caladesi State Park. It is an island that you can only get to by boat. We saw some dolphin on the way there. We set up "camp" for the day and had a great time!! The girls had fun looking for shells and I even found a whole sand dollar!! It was such a beautiful day! When we got back - it was Kevin and Christie's turn for a kid-free dinner and we stayed with all the kids. Can't believe there is only 1 more day left - even the kids all got a little sad when we told them we only have 1 more day in Florida. Here is a link to more pics on facebook - enjoy! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=297200&id=559977367&l=a06619366f
