Steels in New Smyrna

Shortly after Matt and I ran our half marathon, we boarded a plane with the rest of the Steels headed to Florida! We were long overdue for a week of rest, relaxation, and being tan.

Graham did GREAT for his first flight. He was a little squirmy, but when isn't he? He just walked around my lap and even took an hour snooze. If you know my child, you know that is NOT typical.

First stop: Overnight in Leesburg with relatives, then breakfast with Nanny, Dee, Grams, and Uncle Jimmy in Ocala.

Off to the beach!

Graham has this new scrunchy face that he does when he wants to play with you. He scrunches and then pants through his noes. Gets me every time.

What Matt did most of the time. Surfing, not walking.

Graham's first experience with sand. He didn't really care for it this time but it grew on him through the week.

I think someone was excited to be on vacation...

It's blurry because Matt was running, yes, running with Graham on his shoulders.

Steels plus Nanny and Dee. So glad they joined us for a few days!

Baby and daddy feet.

He liked it a little more the next day. I think the trunks and rash guard helped him feel prepared.

Then he discovered how fun and tasty the shells could be.

And he met a friend. Thanks Christy and Britt for coming to visit!

The one picture that Matt wanted.

Mmm, yummy sand...

Best picture ever.

Ok, so vacation was awesome. We spent most of the time at the condo or at the pool getting tan. I even read a book. Try and contain your shock. Thank you Judy and Gary for letting us use your condo and for taking such good care of us! We ended our vacation with a family reunion in Leesburg with Jenny's side of the family. There were many cousins and second cousins to meet and play with along with another bazillion pictures. But time for a break...this post has gotten too long!
