Little Lobster-ers

These girls are amazing! Addison and Ansley both were hands on today with the lobsters. Addison actually went lobstering. She held onto a ski rope behind the boat and looked for lobster while we were being pulled. She had her mask, snorkel and fins on. When she would see one she would point and yell for me to go get it! Pretty impressive for a FOUR year old!!! (at least I think so!)

Come and Almost Gone..

I cannot believe summer came and is just about gone! We have been BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! June was busy with lots of traveling. We went to Camp Weed with Guy & Reva the first weekend, then I threw my sister's baby shower down in Jupiter, then she had another baby shower we went to in Vero and then we went to Orlando for a week with the Bond Family for Pa's 60th birthday. The last weekend in June we spent at home celebrating mommy turning the big 3-0!!! We had an amazing time in Orlando, the girls had a blast going to Disney and spending the week with their cousins. By the time we got home we were all exhausted and happy to sleep in our own beds! Ansley successfully finished ISR with lots of road blocks. Her elbow actually ended up being broken but it took the doctors a week to figure it out since her bones are so small. Then her teacher went out of town for 2 weeks but FINALLY she finished and let me just tell you....that girl can swim! She is a FISH, just like her sister. We enrolled Addison in stroke lessons with Ansley's swim teacher. She loved them and it is nice she now knows what the butterfly, back stroke and freestyle are. I think it will take a few more lessons for her to master these strokes but bless her heart she sure tries! Charles and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary July 14th. We went to the Breakers in Palm Beach to celebrate while the girls got spoiled all weekend with Mimi & Grandaddy. :) We are now in the Keys on our annual Lembo Keys vacation. The girls LOVE it here. We cannot believe this Addison's 5th trip down here. Today we went out in the boat with the girls and it was crystal clear. Mimi & Grandaddy bought Addison (during their weekend spoil) a new big girl mask, snorkel, and fins. She tried them out today on the boat. She did awesome! She thought it was so neat swimming in the "deap blue sea". She would spot lobster and swim all around completely enthralled with the wide life that lives beneath. We were all blown away with her courage and eagerness and absolutely NO fear. She fought us when we told her she had to get back in the boat. I am pretty confident we have another lobster catcher in our family! Ansley, was adorable in her life vest but she doesn't like the salt water in her eyes but she still got in and enjoyed it. Hope everyone has had fun filled summer like we have! We are so blessed!
