Later Gator!




Let me start off by saying that "Dan, we really miss you...it's pretty quiet around here without the kids' belly laughs when you tickle them!" But we ate at one your favorite restaurants 'Gators' wishing you were here!

Afterwards, we headed to the Candy Kitchen for yummy ice-cream...{sorry, Annie, no big banana splits this year! Not without Dan to help me eat it!}




{notice the nice older gentleman who offered to take our picture here...heehee!}

...and then more gators...


We played miniature golf and fed the alligators...a tradition while at Madeira Beach! The gators get a little bigger every year! The kids have a great time...and also seem to improve their putting skills every year...we all scored a hole in one! Thanks...no applause necessary!




And the highlight of the day may have been feeding the seagulls popcorn and peanutbutter crackers!




Hope you had a wonderful evening too! Miss you all!

  1. Awwwwww, I'm sorry Dan's having to miss it, but I'm glad y'all still seem to be having a great time! =0)

    Love the pics of the kids feeding the seagulls and love that you are still "hip" enough to wear pigtails. How YOUNG you look for (almost) 34!
