Florida Part 4 - Kennedy's pictures

Kennedy is turning into a great photographer! She was always grabbing my camera and taking pictures. Here were some of the pictures she liked best. Sorry, but she couldn't narrow down the sunset pictures. Apparently she takes after her Mom, as proven in the previous posts!




One morning when Kennedy woke up and went outside there was this duck sitting in the tree at Gramma and Papa's.

Each night as we sat in the dining room and had dinner this is what we got to look out upon. It was absolutely gorgeous.




Florida Part 3 - More Fun in Florida

Mackenzie loved helping Gramma cook!


Here is Mackenzie getting ready to get on the boat and head out to do some tubing. She was the bravest of the girls. The other two wouldn't do it. They knew there were alligators in the lake and thought we were crazy. I assure everyone that the tube we bought was one that you cannot tip over. Trust me, Greg has tried many times. I will post some of the video once I look it over. Not sure how well it turned out.

Early morning reading. In an attempt to keep Mackenzie, our early riser quite we would go outside by the pool. One of her favorite things to do was read books.

Reading some more, this time with Gramma.

Florida Part 2 - Fun in the Pool

Here are some pictures, OK, a lot of pictures of the girls having fun in Gramma and Papa's pool. I think they went in at least three times each day and were in for a couple of hours each time. I am not sure, but I think I saw some gills starting to grow on Kennedy and Madison.
(Sorry about the formatting. I have to stop trying to type next to the pictures.)


Group shot in the matching swim suits. I can't believe Kennedy though it was cool. I thought she would be too old for the matching thing.











Greg pushing Kennedy into the water. Can you hear the shrieking?














Mackenzie and her Daddy!












A big squeeze.











That top step was Mackenzie's favorite spot. She was too scared to go much further into the water without us holding her.











Nap time for Madison.









After much encouragement, Papa got Mackenzie to release her death grip on him and actually use the life jacket to help her float. Once she did it she had lots of fun.













Tough Girl!











Blowing bubbles in the water.











Mackenzie was a great swim teacher. I think I am going to sign her up to teach lessons at the pool where we go! She really wishes she could. Maybe in a few years.










Madison and either Sarah or Rachel. Gramma and Papa have some friends who have twin 6 year old girls. They came over a couple of times to swim with Madison. She loved having them over and they quickly became friends.











Our sweetheart, Kennedy!









Kennedy loves to practice diving. She is very good too!













All I can say here is, "Isn't she cute"?






It's not easy to see in this picture, but Kennedy and Madison are pretending to be fountains. They both have water coming out of their mouths.
