We already went to the beach and the pool today! I was pleasantly surprised that Elle played in the sand and the ocean. None of the boys liked either at her age . . . of course that could all change tomorrow
. I’m happy to report that the water appears to be oil free! I was a little worried. We even saw a sting ray just a few feet from us. We’ve never seen one here before. I’ll be posting pics all week from my laptop . . . sorry if the color is off, my laptop is very unreliable. Off to put everyone else to bed!
We made it!
On our way!
Hopefully we will be seeing this gorgeous view on Saturday around noon. We just left Cincinnati with a van full of crazy children. It should be an interesting ride . . . 12 hours of Elle saying “OUT!”. Lately she has been screaming that on car trips lasting less than ten minutes. I packed lots of distractions, let’s hope they work. The big boys are loaded up with movies, video games and books. We will drive to Pratville, Alabama today and then get up Saturday and drive the last three hours to Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Nancy and Tim will be joining us (yay!!!). I may be able to coax a kid or two into their car along the way. I’ll try to post at least one photo everyday for those of you who like to vacation vicariously through us :). Of course I’ll still be taking pics for 300miles too. Wish us luck!!!
Oh, and to my favorite Italian freckle photoblog follower Cristian . . . Happy 23rd Birthday! Hope you have a great day!
Pool Party!
Adorable Ivan . . .
Put-in-Bay!
Anderson and family
You may remember Kelly and Andy’s engagement pics . . . here. Now they have an adorable son, Anderson! I met up with the whole family last week at Ault Park. Anderson is such a smiley and happy little guy. It was so fun to meet him! He clearly adores his mom and dad too

Night photos . . .
On Saturday night I went to Arnold’s with Andrea and her friend Ashleigh for the monthly photography exhibit by Club Blatz members. After the show a few of us ventured into the city for some night shots (which is a little different for me). I didn’t have a tripod so I just looked for places to steady my camera or I just stood very still. It was so much fun! I posted the photo of the VW bus on Flickr yesterday and it ended up in “Explore” . . . I’m not sure I’ve ever had a pic in explore. The second photo is of Bill and Lisa who founded “Club Blatz”, a photography club for misfits. They have done a great job of getting people together. I really look forward to the monthly exhibits and chatting with photography geeks like me :).
