Florida April 2009

In April Brandon & I took a much needed vacation to Florida! We stayed with Brandon's friend Dusty's, Mom & Step Dad, Sandy & Kevin.

We had such a good time. We relaxed by the pool, went fishing, slept in (well till 7 or 8, its hard to turn off your brains auto alarm clock!).

Kevin took us fishing at night on the river- it was so cool we caught some Snook and some other stuff. We also got a chance to net some Shrimp & a crab or two! Shrimp are creepy looking- they have a little horn or something on their heads, and crabs if you pinch the joint between their arms and their claw they drop their claws! I should've taken a picture but didn't think of it.

This is Brandon holding a Jack fish. I actually caught the fish but...I don't touch fish!

These are really cool fish - check out
its mouth in this picture


We were at the boat launch with Kevin and this bird was floating by so Brandon fed him a few fish. He was very entertaining. I couldn't believe how close the bird got- clearly he's used to humans!
This picture was taken on our last day, in Kevin & Sandy's back yard. They have an amazing house and yard - with their own pool and water fall- its so cool. Their own private retreat! We had so much fun staying with them! Sandy makes the best spaghetti ever and Kevin knows all the secrets to catching the big fish at night!! It was so nice of them to let us stay with them and to show us around. Thanks guys, we had a great time!
