Florida with the Fam

Below are my first tries at taking pictures of fireworks. It's alot harder than I thought due to the crazy lighting. Anyways, our family had a very nice time together. We went to Animal Kingdom, Epcot and spent some QT together at the beach and poolside. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to do such nice things.





We went orange picking (julie, lee lee and me)


There was this very cute old farmer who ran the orange grove and he teased all of us tremendously. I think we were a great source of entertainment for him as we never had done this before and we didn't know the least bit about orange picking...nor about the gators he told us to look out for!


Sunset over our place in Punta Gorda.


Me and Prince Charming at the Royal Palace. (I know, I know prince charming doesn't exist...but hey it's Disney World, you can believe anything at Disney World!)


mmmm...turkey legs..if only prince charming could see me now, he'd definitly whisk me off into the sunset!


Dad & Lee Lee


Mom had a hoot picking up shells all day


What a handsome guy...my brother Dave in a rare, relaxing moment.


David is a hard-pushing, type A amusement park goer. He frequently consults the map of the parks to see the best route and what we should include on our way to each stop to prevent retracing our steps and therefore wasting time. As you can see Julie on the other hand is biting her tongue to keep from saying...."COME ON! Let's just go and have fun!"


Mommy and Sharlelie are definitely cut from the same mold. They loved this scary roller coaster...Everest. But it was so scary that when Sharlelie got off she was crying. Did that stop her from wanting to go on it again, right away? No way!!


Us with our cool 3-D glasses on



This trip was momentous on many accounts. But probably the most notable would be that little sharlelie lost BOTH of her two front teeth (see above) and made us all laugh till we hurt while she giggingly tried to shay shentences wid "s" and "th" shounds. lol
