spring break in FL

Two weeks ago we traveled to south FL and met up with Grandma and Grandpa Keyser (a UW graduation present for Mama - how nice!). We spent time on Miami Beach in a really nice apartment and then headed just south of Miami to visit relatives. Jackson had fun exploring in the sand, dipping in the Atlantic Ocean, meeting family members, and visiting where Grandma grew up. At first Jackson didn't quite know what to think of the ocean (in his defense the wind was intense) but we spent an afternoon at the beach in Key Biscayne and he loved the water (much less windy). The company and relaxing in the sun with family was awesome.

Jackson is a great flier but coming back was some what difficult. Tony said that it could have been much worse though and I'd have to agree. Coming home is always wonderful but it is really difficult not waking up on the ocean. Jackson is moving a lot - getting up on his knees and experimenting with maneuvering from seated position to hands and knees. No full on crawling yet. He is mastering catching himself when in the seated position.

Alright, here are a crap-ton of photos from our trip.

Doing what they do best together!

Miami-Dade Sea Aquarium - Jackson got tuckered out.

Enjoying the dolphin show!

Wisconsin pride - it is sickening, I know.

My mom's cousin Liz - so I think that would make Jackson a third cousin.

Jackson with Great Great Aunt Joie - she loved her "JC" and he loved her.

Getting a ride from Grandpa.

Posting a video from the beach with Jackson and Daddy. You can't hear Dad but he told Mom that we needed two babies in order to get a complete workout. Ahh, not so fast big guy.
