Florida Vacation

At the end of the February, Addy geared up for her first airplane ride to head to Florida to visit Grandma & Grandpa Weinman at their new home in The Villages.

Here's Addy, very early in the morning, checking out the plane we're about to board.

The advantage of an early morning flight - she took a nap! Actually, Addy was great on the plane. She had her face pressed up against the window during take-off and then after reading a new book about trucks (one of her favorites things at the moment), she fell asleep for the rest of the flight.

Yeah! Warm weather and sun! Let's hit the pool!

Walking around town square with Grandpa & Grandma.

Peeking through the deck rails to see all the seagulls, ducks and other animals on the lake.

Everyone in The Villages gets around by golf cart. Here's Grandma Carol's golf cart.

Addy loved the golf carts. She pointed them out everywhere, even in people's garages!

Enjoying some ice cream on a beautiful evening. Want a kiss anyone?

Dancing the night away with Grandpa & Grandma.

Addy has some "special" dancing skills. This is all we could get on video because she's very good at knowing when she's being taped and, as you will see, wants to come over and look through the camera. (The video also captures a little bit of Mommy imitating Addy's dance).

The family.

Look at all those golf carts, Grandma!

Maybe next trip, I'll be two inches taller. And then I can definitely make it over this fence and into the water!

A new fan of dinosaurs!

The family made its first of what will surely many trips to the Natural History Museum in Cleveland. And the dinosaur skeletons were a hit!

Addy meeting Steggy.

"Why's everything's so big, Daddy?"

Addy's dinosaur face.

Our little engineer, hard at work in the hands-on discovery room.

Making friends with the animals in the outdoor exhibit. Addy saw all sorts of local wildlife - deer, wild turkeys, owls, and the crows & river otters pictured below.

Valentine's Day Fun at the Children's Museum

One of our new favorite places - the Children's Museum. Addy and her friend Gracie had fun making Valentine's Day headbands.

Addy modeling hers.

Going down the slide.

Playing at the super cool water table.

Hello...my name is Trouble

What happens when Mom lets me pick out my clothes..."I'd rather be naked" t-shirt, snowpants, and a red heart vest.

I got the yogurt container away from Mom at breakfast. Ha.

Aren't I hilarious?

And a mess.

Tackling Uncle Sean.

Showing off my new climbing skills. This can only mean trouble.

"Look Mom and Dad...the windowsill makes a great seat."
