Back to Normal Life


Looking at the alligator/caiman/crocodile (why can't I tell a difference?) at the nature center we went to Friday.

Addy to the window, Gator to the wall


Cool snake


Addy like to help with the groceries now


The beach before the air show. It got about 75 times more crowded than this before we left.


Mooching umbrella shade from the people next to us, lucky we have a cute baby.


loop-de-loops on planes. Air shows are cool.
