Vacation in Florida!

Here come the Rupp's.  We had a little bit of a rough start to our vacation last Tuesday, we were supposed to fly out of Chicago at 11:00am however, we missed that flight due to a 4 hour drive to Midway, yuck!  All in all we finally made it to Mimi's at about 10:30pm the trip could have been so much worse but the pnuts were wonderful.  So here is JD enjoying some much deserved ice cream.
Ella all content with her straw.

Every morning JD would crawl in bed with Mimi for some "nuggle time" (snuggle time)

they played cards.......
they made music and read books....
Thursday morning we took a trip to "Jungle Gardens"  I had my phone call from work to let me know that my position was retained and what a relief that was.

Here is dad and Bean getting ready, she didn't keep her glasses on to long.

Here we are and JD held his first bird, he was sooo brave and even held it twice.
he wasn't quite as brave here, Mimi had to protect him....
he was fine as long as someone was rite beside him, the flamingo's were rather friendly as long as you were feeding them however, not so keen on the idea of you petting them.

Rick, JD and Mimi doing the FL ....... flamingo:)

On our last day, LouAnn's friends invited us over to enjoy the beach and pool on Longboat Key, it was a beautiful day for the beach.

LouAnn and Carolyn
Surprise!!!!!!! Liz made the long drive down to spend a few nights with us, it was soo much fun.  We don't always get to spend much time together but whenever we do, it's easy to catch up and I always feel like there hadn't been a lapse in time at all.  Thanks again for making the trip, love yah
Okay, so our little Miss Bean did not enjoy the sand on her feet, so she spent her time on our laps or in the stroller snoozin, maybe next year.
it was great watching JD and Rick have so much fun at the beach
they had a great time looking at all of the seashells

Mimi and Bean
Ella is almost 9 months here so I thought I would try to get some shots, she was sooooo full of smiles.
doesn't this one just make you laugh :)
