Marco Island

This past weekend, we took a somewhat spontaneous weekend trip to Marco Island Florida. If you are unfamiliar with it, I'd highly recommend checking it out! It's on the SW (gulf) coast of Florida, we flew into Ft Myer and drove about an hour south. 

The boys did so well on the airplane. I was really worried about Caleb and his curiosity and contant need to move, but he did well!

The balcony of our hotel "look, mom, there's the beach!"

Both boys LOVED the beach. Digging in the sand, picking out seashells, playing "construction". 

When Caleb first stepped into the water and the waves were breaking at his feet, he thought it was the funniest thing ever. He laughed hysterically whenever they crashed!

The second night we watched the best sunset. The other two nights were a little cloudy so this one was the best! Of course, I had to get some pics!

My two little fish truly enjoyed the pool too! They had an awesome slide that Caiden went down about 50 times.

We got lots of comments about how good of swimmers they both were. Of course people were amazed by Caleb, being such a little guy and swimming like crazy.  Here's links to videos of theme swimming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDzyeYQQAEY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSYhylKO7Ls

The last night we had a pizza picnic by the beach.

I am so very thankful for this trip and that everything worked out so smoothly! We almost got stuck there because flights were preemptively cancelled due to weather in Dallas, but we made it back! Also, you might be wondering (because you know how my boys are), they actually slept fairly well in the hotel! No major drama in that area!
