Back in June we took our annual family trip. This year we decided to go to the Florida Keys. We stayed on the key called Marathon and took drives to explore as many of the other keys as possible. There were 12 of us, my sisters, Ems, my inlaws, us and my parents. It was a total blast!!! The kids did amazing and Viv was in heaven swimming in the ocean! She had her life jacket on but she still did good. All in all it was a wonderful week full of memories that will last forever.

| Another day...another adventure...to the Everglades. This is a baby crocodile they were raising at the park. |
 |
| Lindsey just loved this little guy!! We were going to take an airboat ride into the swamps to see bigger crocs close up, but as you can see we got rained out. |
 |
| We decided to spend the last day at this beautiful beach...needless to say it was the hottest day the whole week with like 95% humidity. It sure was beautiful though. We all had a blast swimming and relaxing |
 |
| Chris and my father in law fishing off the wall at the same beach we swam at. Nothing was caught this time, but they enjoyed themselves. | | |
|

After this amazing trip to the beach it was time to head home. We were ready, but it was still hard to leave. I can't wait to someday go back to Florida and make even more memories in this amazing state.
