Vacation in Progress

We arrived safe and sound in Sarasota. Grandma Barbie and Great Aunt Martha met us at the airport in matching t-shirts.


Ally was soon off to the beach with Grandma Barbie.

Digging in the sand with mama.


Ally loves the beach this year!


Chasing a lone seagull. Becky and I were stunned at Ally's compassion. There were flocks of seagulls sitting on the beach and we encouraged Ally to run and chase them away, but she declined and said "they seemed happy there" and implied it was cruel to chase them away. If she found one by itself she would chase it, so "it would go find its friends and not be lonely anymore"


A new favorite activity is playing with her leapster. Grandma Barbie insisted on getting her one, since cousin Kaitlin has one and loves it.

This afternoon we waited outside to see the shuttle Discovery fly overhead on its final voyage into outer space.

The three of us at dinner.
