More Vacation Pictures!

I posted more pictures from vacation that JoEllen sent to me. I have so many, I didn't know which ones to pick :) Enjoy!

Of course, Callie still wanted to swim in the waves :)

Callie swimming in the "baby pool" at the beach. The first couple days when the surf was up it created an area between the shoreline and the beach that was only a couple feet deep and the kids were able to play in it.

Our family and the Platania's on vacation at Captiva Island, FL

Last weekend

Aunt Connie came to visit us last weekend and we had a fun filled time. On Saturday we drove up to the star on mill mountain then walked around downtown and had lunch. Then she convinced me to go golfing!! There wasn't much convincing though, I have been thinking about it for a while and I had a great time. Which brought us to Saturday... We took the kids hiking up the star trail, then AC and I went golfing again :) Then we stopped at Brusters and got ice cream before stopping at home to pick up Gus and the kids and went to the pool. It was a short but fantastic visit. Callie is still talking about Connie :) That's all I have time for now. Enjoy all the pictures!

Sunday afternoon we went to the pool!

We hiked up Mill Mountain with Aunt Connie on Sunday

We also drove to the top of Mill Mountain for the famous view.

Gustav's First Tooth!!

Yeah Gustav! He finally cut his first tooth yesterday! Nothing like teething for 6 months just to get one tiny tooth! Poor little guy. They should stard coming in quicker now.

In other news, we went to Florida for 10 days and had a great vacation! We flew to Tampa and stayed with the Platania's for a couple days, then borrowed their car and drove down to Captiva Island for a week long vacation with them. It was so much fun! I have some pictures to post, but I'm waiting for JoEllen to send me the others. We also visited with some friends in Tampa while we were there, but unfortunately I forgot to get some pictures.

I guess a lot has happened recently and it will he hard to tell it all, but Callie is peeing in the potty without any prompting from me. I guess she's just going to train herself :) Gustav is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up. He doesn't really have any interest in walking - probably beacuse he can crawl so fast! They play together all the time and Gustav is really tough and likes to be roughoused (spelling?). He tries to attack Gus when they're playing. Callie has an unusual way of playing that consists of sitting or laying on Gustav and pinning him down - and then she doesn't understand why he starts crying. Oh well, the mind of a two year old is fascinating. That's all I have time for. I'll post some pictues of the vacation, which will probably appear above this. Bye!
