Cousin Violet!

We were so excited to be able to see Cousin Violet in Florida. We spent a day together in West Palm Beach where my parent's 'rented' a hotel room at a nice hotel downtown for the day. We hung out at the beach and the pool and the weather was fantastic. The second time we met was at Butterfly World. Here I was able to take my camera and get some pictures without fearing sand and water attacking my camera. My kids loved this place...it was the perfect size to take up a big chunk of our day, allowed plenty of room to RUN and explore, and the kids finally started to get to know each other enough to 'hang out'. A fun day!

Beautiful Violet:)

Skyler and Violet checking out the butterflies.

Uncle Matt....

He was talking about the BIG butterflies we saw.

I don't know what they were saying here but this picture cracks me up.

Uncle Matt and Vi....and Skyler looking at something. Another Skyler picture that makes me laugh.

And another....

And another!!!

The bird jumped right onto my dad's head. He thought it was funny. Michael? Not so much...he had a silent freak out that only I noticed when a bird landed on his shoulder.

Sadie was really into the map of the park and was explaining it for the remainder of this field trip. She still loves that map! She looks like a little old lady reading her map in this picture.

Vi and Sadie 'discussing' what they saw on the map. A discussion that lasted a pretty long time!

Now Skyler was involved in the map discussion with the girls. Love the cousins together:)
