Easter's On It's Way....

Today, Nannie and I, tried to take some Easter pictures of Camilla at Sturbridge and at the Shakespeare Garden. A few of them turned out.....

These two are my favorites!

Picking the flower...pretty sure we were not supposed to do that!

Fun at the Zoo

This past Monday, we went to the Montgomery Zoo with some of our Kindermusik friends since we didn't have music this week because of Spring Break. Camilla had a great time. This was our first time to play on the playground at the zoo. It is high off the ground and the slides are very steep...it is big enough for adults to play on! Here are some pics from our day...
At the top of the BIG Slide!

Dolphins!!

Marty and I had a great time swimming with a dolphin named Marte in Cozumel! The company that does the swimming with dolphins is called Dolphin Discovery. They were great! We had a awesome time. We chose the package where you were able to learn about the dolphin, kiss, be kissed and hug the dolphin, dance with the dolphin, go on a belly ride and ride the boogey board (the dolphin pushes on your foot while you hold on to the boogey board). It was so much fun. The dophins are actually in the ocean...it is just fenced in so they can't escape. The trainer said there were 16 dolphins in the large area where we were.

Here are some pictures from our day....


Ready to meet Marte!

Our first time to touch Marte!

"Cruise with me Baby!"

We just returned from an AWESOME cruise with our dear friends the Barnetts, Bledsoes, DeShazos, McCarthys and Prices! We cruised out of Mobile on the Carnival Fantasy on a 4 night trip to Cozumel, Mexico. We had a great time! We took a cruise with this group minus the DeShazos and Prices in August 2006 (pre kids). All of us left our little ones behind! The kids had fun with the grandparents and we had fun getting to spend adult time together.

We only had one day in Cozumel. Marty and I have really been wanting to swim with the dolphins so we choose to do that while the rest of the group rented Jeeps and toured the island. Marty and I had a great time. I am going to post the dolphin pictures later since I have to scan all of them in (we used an underwater camera!)

You can click on any picture to enlarge it for a better view!
