Our second time to go to Florida in one year! Wow, we were excited! This time on our agenda was working with CA Tapes at the North American Christian Convention. We also decided to head down a few days early to enjoy a little family time.
 |
| We stopped at Providence Prairie that evening and left for Florida the next morning. |
 |
| Justus loved his roast beef sandwich. :) He ate almost all of it! |
 |
| A little over half way, we decided to stop for the night. The next morning Justus decided he needed to keep "Giraffe -y" safe! |
 |
| One of our favorite stops on the trip- the Florida Welcome Center! |
 |
| We've arrived! |
 |
| Justus loved the free orange and grapefruit juice they give you inside |
 |
| Down to the last drop! |
 |
| After a few days of relaxing, we went to Gatorland! |
 |
| The Gator Jumparoo Show |
 |
| Look at that Gator! |
 |
| The parrots wouldn't talk to us :( |
 |
| Albino Alligator |
 |
| Flamingos |
 |
| Gator Wrestling Show |
 |

 |
| They got caught! :) |
 |
| Somebody crashed |
 |
| The man who did all the shows we went to |
 |
| Feeding the birds- Justus loved it! |
 |
| Playing in the Gator Splash Park |
 |
| We stopped at a stand that was selling fresh young coconuts. I had always wanted to try coconut water. I guess if I had grown up drinking it it would be yummy, but alas it wasn't my favorite. It is amazing though how much water is inside them and so full of vitamins! |
 |
| We took a walk through Downtown Disney. This is the Lego section- all of these statues are made of Legos! |
 |
| Justus loved playing with the Legos |
 |
| Mr. Potato Head |
 |
| Winnie the Pooh and Friends |
 |
| Pretty sunset |
 |
| This is a real lady!!! |
 |
| We got Justus a really cool Mickey. He was elated as you can tell! |
 |
| We only were able to stay at the beach for a little bit, but it was fun while it lasted! |
In the meantime, we worked at the NACC. I don't think I have any pictures from then. :(
 |
| On our way back home we stopped at the Citrus Tower |
Up at the top there were pictures of what it used to look like when Orange Groves were all in that area- before it got too cold for them to grow there. We took before and after pictures.

 |
| At the hotel on our way back Justus fell back asleep the next morning with us in bed. |
 |
| He was out of it :) |
 |
| Justus loves Mickey |
 |
| We were blessed by a rainbow on the last stretch of our drive! |
 |
| Beautiful |
 |
| I think the trip tuckered out our little boy :) |
We had a wonderful trip!
