Beach Bums

Pat thought this would be fun, bury Gabe.

Chance

Chance was a little scared of the sand at first, but then loved the beach and of course shovel and bucket.

Yikes an Alligator

Notice the alligator in the background. Gabe wouldn't take his eyes off this one long enough for a picture. We went to a famous mermaid show our first day in Florida, and a 9 foot alligator swam up the crystal river last year to surprise the mermaids in the theme park.

The Manatees

My favorite part of the trip was watching the manatees in one of the largest refuges in the country. There were 70 wild manatees in the day we visited. We got really close to them and the park rangers also fed them carrots. Amazing animals. Chance got a toy manatee to take home.

Golfing on Christmas Day

As we are golfing on Christmas Day, we were picking oranges off the trees and eating them. Gabe really liked golfing.

Xmas Sweaters

Smile....Mom wanted a picture of us in our Xmas sweaters.

Trick or Treat

The Pirate and the Skeleton had a good time trick or treating. Fell asleep on the way home.
