Anne & Kids spring break

Hello family, We had a really great time in Florida!! The weather was great, only one day of humidty; otherwise in the low 80's. The drive through Milwaukee was a bit stressful for me, but we made it to the airport without getting lost. Matthew had got to watch the comings & goings of planes and ground crews. Then he got to go into the cockpit in 3 of the 4 planes we were all together. Marya was just alittle too "hysterical" on the first take off. I'm sure the other passengers were amused! This was also the first time either of the kids got sunburned - even with sunscreen on. We went to Sannibel for shelling, went to the Edison/Ford estates, went to Bowditch reserve (tip of the island-the same place the girls took their really long walk too), and an everglades tour that included several stops to see other places of nature & animals, plus we hung out on "our" beach & at the pool. The kids got to see high tide & low tide, among many other sights. They also held 2 sizes of baby alligators! The airboat ride in the Everglades was fun, but we didn't get to stand on the end like the detective on CSI Miami, & we didn't go through the tall grasses; we went through the mangrove forests/islands. So much fun. The delay to home was quite disappointing to all of us; but at least we made it home in one piece without loosing our luggage. Hope to see every one soon, Anne P.S. picture posting will come at another time.
