Brett and Kristy's visit

We love Florida but we are FAR, FAR away from our family so when they come to visit we love it. Brett (John's younger brother) and his wife Kristy spent a couple of days with us and we literally drove all over Florida...north, south, east, and west trying to show them the best of Florida.
Shark Valley
We went back to Shark Valley when Austin was at preschool and did the 15 mile bike ride. That doesn't sound THAT far but when the bikes are ghetto and it's windy it's quite the workout.












Swimming with the Dolphins
We went down to Key Largo the next day to swim with the dolphins. They wouldn't let me do it because I am pregnant and I guess they get a little obsessed with pregnant women's babies.







The dolphins brought the kids a present from the ocean floor.



They had a feel tank where the kids could touch starfish and the starfish could eat Cheetos off of Brock's hands.












We ate at Bubba Gumps on Ft. Lauderdale beach after the Draft party at the stadium.

































What is wrong with my kids? They shy away from relatives but ran right up to some Pirates on Ft. Lauderdale beach and jumped in their arms.

We had a great time. Thanks guys!

You did so many fun things! And swimming with the dolphins looks amazing! That is crazy that they get a little obsessed with pregnant woman, very interesting. I am glad you guys had such a good time and it was fun to meet Kristy and Brett. And your boys are the cutest!

Looks so fun! I need some ideas from you for entertaining guests! You didn't tell me that they didn't let you swim with the dolphins .... I just realized that I keep commenting on your blog about how you didn't tell me stuff, like I'm your mother or something..
