Sun and Surf 2011

What a great family vacation. This year we went to Clearwater Beach Florida for 5 days and then spent 2 days in orlando at Disney World. We could have not asked for a better time. The beach was wonderful. It was like we had the whole beach to our selves. The kids liked playing in the sand. Cooper would go in the water but Ryleigh was scared of the ocean. We kind of expected that because when Cooper was her age he was scared of the ocean too. Everyday we would go down to play for a while on the beach and then after the kids were tired of that we would head to the great kiddie pool they had. It was very layed back. We did go do a couple of things. As you can see in the pictures below we went on a pirate cruise that was very kid friendly. Trey got picked to be a pirate named peg leg pete and he was coming to steal the treasure so the kids had to shoot him. It was pretty funny. We all had a good time on the cruise. Another little outing we did was we went and saw the famous dolphin Winter at the local aquarium. She is the dolphin that stars in the up coming movie Dolphin Tale. She has no tale due to get caught in a crab trap so they have made her a tale. Pretty neat that they could do that. Here are some pictures below of our first part of the trip and then there is another post about Disney.
