Adventures with Wendy

This past Thanksgiving week my sister Wendy came to visit us in Florida. It was sooo good to be with her! We missed her the second we dropped her off at the airport. These are just a few of the MANY pictures that we took while she was here.

Much of the time Wendy was here we played with Addi and enjoyed talking with one another. These are a few pictures Wendy took while we were playing with Addi. Oh and Wendy worked really hard with Addi to try and get her to say Wendy. She didn't get her full name out (she isn't even a year yet, so I wasn't expecting it), but she did get the W sound, and I have to admit... I'm impressed with Wendy's skills!

I know this picture is blurry, but it makes me laugh because this is what we do quite a bit...push Addi on her bike. This was early in the morning so don't mind my beautiful attire.

We went to a cute little shopping center called Pier Park and took a picture in front of this wacky mirror that accentuated our hips.

One of the only things Wendy wanted to do before she left was see a sunset on the beach, so the last night she was here (Thanksgiving) we went to the beach and enjoyed God's beautiful creation.

One of the highlights of Wendy's trip was Shell Island. We loved it! We took a 45 minute cruise to shell island and on the way we saw TONS of dolphins, I couldn't help but shout in excitement. I'm sure the people around me were thinking I was weird, but it was so exciting! Shell Island itself was beautiful, just look at these next few pictures and you will see for yourself.

These seagulls followed the cruise ship all the way to shell island and back, and Jacob shot some really good pictures of them, I don't think this is even the best one.

When we got back, the sun was setting, and it was so beautiful! (I think beautiful is just going to be my word for this post)

One of the days, while Jacob was at class, Wendy, Addi and I took a picnic to the bay, and had a nice little outing. Addi loved the swings at the playground

On Sunday we made carmel apples with tons of carmel...I guess that is what makes them so good though right?

On Sunday night, Wendy put a diaper on Addi's head and she loved it, she kept it on for a long time, so Wendy decided to join in. This moment also gave way to Addi learning a new sign...HAT! She hits her head pretty hard when she signs it, but it is so cute! Thanks Wendy for teaching Addi how to sign hat!

We also went to the famous St. Andrew's state park where you can get close up and personal with the alligators. Not only did we see an alligator, but we saw jelly fish and deer too!

Watch out for that alligator Mr. Bird!

Fun tree on the trail around the alligator swamp.

Thank you so much for coming Wendy, we love you!
