Florida Days

Our vacation is continuing right along. The weather is beautiful and we are relaxing. Yesterday we spent the day between the pool and the beach. Kennadi finally got in all by herself with her floaties. She had a blast! She even started jumping in off the side.




This is a picture we took before we went out to dinner on Tuesday night. I don't know why we look red b/c we are not burnt. We have been using our sunscreen religiously!





This morning we got to do something really special. We went to the US Naval Museum where the Blue Angels practice. We got to watch them practice followed by an autograph signing in the museum. It was very interesting!

The Blue Angels are trained to fly as close as 18 inches apart!



At the end of the practice, they let all the kids come on to the runway and wave flags as the Blue Angels taxied by. The entire crowd (which was about 3,000) stood and applauded. It was very patriotic.



This is Halle with one of the Blue Angels. How awesome is it that there is a woman on the team?We thought it was pretty cool! To top it off, you should have seen the ROCK she had on her finger. Not a bad life she is leading.



Kennadi is striking a pose in a helicopter rescue basket.

The stairs that took you to the second level of the museum were actual airplane steps.


We are posing in front of actual Blue Angel planes hanging from the museum ceiling!
