This is an armadillo that the kids all got to pet.
Colin holding a baby alligator--the kids got a kick out of this.
I spy--an alligator in the swamp.
The Fishing Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale. 
McKena and May lounging in the 70 degree water.
They found some unique shells.
The Miami Zoo--it had started out rainy which afforded an awesome parking place and the zoo to ourselves.
We rented these awesome bikes which made for getting around a large rainy zoo really quite comfortable. Also, because it wasn't crowded we could just drive right up to the fences and view the animals just fine without getting off our bike. Thankfully, the rain let up and it was a very pleasant day.Last summer my sister and her family moved to Florida, so since then we have been thinking of going to visit. We bought our tickets in January and have been counting down the days since! Finally, last week we got to enjoy the hospitality of the Stevens and the beautiful sights and weather of Florida. The kids favorite thing was playing with their cousins--they all got along so well. We visited the Miami Zoo, the Everglades, the Boca Raton beach, the movie theater, the mall, restaurants, and various neighborhood pools and parks. We had a fabulous time (until it was time for the long flight home)! Enjoy the random smattering of pictures!
