Bethanie and I were able to see the Florida cousins before a family vacation with Greg's brother and his family. We don't get to see these cousins very often and were excited to find out we were going to be near their home
You can't go to Florida without hitting the beach. The kids loved the water. It is obvious these two little boys go to the ocean often they were crazy. Bea girl hung back and wouldn't get as close to the waves. Paige and I stayed way back, the wind was blowing and there was definitely a chill in the air.
She was enjoying the sand between her toes. We are still trying to get sand out of that swimsuit.
After leaving Paige's cute little beach town where she lives we headed for Orlando. We took the kiddos to Gatorland. I wasn't sure what to expect but we were all pleasantly surprised. We paid for an upgraded package and were able to feed the alligators and after watching the gator show the kids each had their picture taken on the back of a live gator. Well worth it.
Little picture opportunity on a not so real gator. I love how Bethanie wore her sunglasses most of the day. Paige also introduced me to boiled peanuts. Apparently, they are a Florida thing. I actually enjoyed them and may need to try making them at home sometime.

On our last day with the cousins we shopped and played a round of miniture golf. This was a first for miss Bea. She had such a great time she forgot she needed to "GO" and had a little accident right on the green. She was mortified but luckily our car was close and we had all our luggage since Paige was going to drop us off where we were meeting up with Greg and his family.
Paige thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to spend time with the Bea girl and I. We had fun and can't wait to visit again.
