Our Spring Break Vacation...Little Gasparilla Island!!

Sorry it took so long for me to post...life here as I am sure with everyone else too....is crazy. It seemed to take me forever to get caught up once we got back from the beach. We jumped right back into school, dance, baseball, and swim...and of course work!! We had a great time on our much needed vacation...we loved this place and hope to return again later this summer! It was very nice and peaceful.


We are not sure if these are Coconuts or something else but right when we got there we looked outside and Colin had a collection of them at the bottom of the steps.


Colin digging of course...





Our house we stayed in is the one to the left...this was the pathway to the beach...there are no roads on the island.
Kennedy has found a new hobby...chasing birds! She ran all week chasing birds...




Colin and I were searching for sharks teeth...we found about 300 during the week!


Colin was skim boarding...he even made a friend that he was able to play with for a couple of days.




These are some of my favorite pictures...wrestling in the ocean.








Kennedy is laying on seashells...they were like this all up and down the beach. It was alot of fun digging through them and seeing the different shells.

Day 2

Colin ended up doing GREAT on both days at his swim meet...we had a really good time! On the second day he ended up winning another medal for 8th place in the 25 yard breaststroke. He won 9th place in the 50 yard backstroke. We are so excited with what is to come with him...he only started on this swim team in August. He is a very determined competative little boy. The boys 8 and under group ended up winning the meet...because they had the most points. Since we had to leave on Sunday as soon as Colin was finished (because Jason and Kennedy had a stomach virus) they waited to take a group picture until Tuesday at swim so Colin could be there. It will be in the newspaper sometime later this week or next.

His times:
100 yard freestyle 149.35 sec. 15th place
25 yard backstroke 22.96 sec. 13th place
50 yard breaststroke 58.10 sec. 7th place
25 yard freestyle 19.79 sec. 16th place
25 yard breaststroke 25.69 sec. 8th place
50 yard freestyle 45.76 sec. 15th place
25 yard butterfly 24.91 sec. 14th place
50 yard backstroke 49.60 sec. 9th place...he was so mad after this one...he wanted to place at least 8th so he could get a medal.

The medals...
