Here is the long-awaited debut of my Halloween video...hope you like it!

Well, these are the last of the vacation pictures. Wednesday was my first time on a boat and then Thursday-Saturday we spent at the Hilton in Longboat where Mommy and Daddy got married. We spent most of our time in the pool or at the beach, which you will see from these pics. Oh, and we were on vacation with Aunt Liz and Ben and Don and Erin-but I did not include the pics with them. They are all in thier swimsuits and I thought they may not like me sharing those kinds of pics on the web!

Me and Daddy-the "captains" of the boat.
I got my vest on and waved to let everyone know I was ready to go!

At the beach in Longboat-me and Daddy waiting or the waves.

Me and Mommy working on the sandcastle-although it looks like I am just supervising at this point!

I decided to just dig a hole and get into the sand...

Me and Mommy walking across the bridge that she she walked across to meet Daddy on their wedding day!

Thanks for looking at my vacation pics. I hope you enjoyed them! I will update soon with my new stats from the pediatrician. I had my 18 month appt on Monday and everything was good!

Tuesday of vacation was zoo day. We went to the Tampa Zoo which as voted one of the best by Parents magazine...and boy was that true. We had a great time!
We saw giraffes and zebras...I guess we interrupted this guy's lunch time!

We saw manatees, penguins, rays and lots of other water animals

And we saw elephants. We saw so many different animals but I decided to condense it down to the best for all of you to see!

Another one of my "firsts" on this trip was a carousel ride. I know you can't really tell by my face but I LOVED IT. I wanted to go "again, again, again" it was so much fun!

Monday was our first full day in FL. Mom and Dad wanted to take me to the beach, to make sure I liked it and otherwise, we just spent our time doing some leisurely activities...

Daddy and Ben went fishing. This patch of grass is right behind Aunt Liz's patio. So you can walk from the patio to the grass and into the Gulf if you want to! Notice the bird in the background-he was watching every fish they pulled out of the water!

I had no fear of the fish and loved touching them. After they catch them they have to throw them back-but it was fun to watch! (by the way, you can hear me talking in the first part of the video. I am saying one of my favorite words, "again"...and I repeat it several times).

This video is of my very FIRST time in the water. As you can see by my reaction...I love it!

We arrived in FL on Sunday around noon. We made a quick stop at Aunt Liz's for some lunch, then headed over to my first baseball game!

I think Daddy has been waiting to take me to a Yankees game as my first game. The Yanks happened to be playing the Tampa Bay Rays so we got to see them in action at Tropicana Field.
Of course we got to see some real live rays-swimming around in their tank at the baseball field. Daddy and Aunt Liz were the only brave ones to reach in and "pet" them!

Me in my seat...I had a lot of room to move around!

Me and Daddy checking out the action-we had a mix of fans around us that were making A LOT of noise.

Me and Mommy having a disagreement over one of the plays...just kidding! Anyway, the game was a blast and it was complete with a grand slam by A-Rod! What a great first day of vacation!

We are back from FL and boy did we have a good time! It was hot (they actually said they had record-setting temps for that time of year) and sunny every day! I will be updating the blog throughout the week to show you as many pics as I can. Here is a video of me and Daddy jumpin' the waves in the Gulf. I had no fear of the water and loved every minute of it!
