Florida Fun

Luke at the NASA shuttle launch. We staked out our seats (and sat in them) 5 hours before it took off.

About the closest seats you can get to the launch (unless you're VP's - which we're surprisingly not) are about 10 miles away.

This is what we saw at night until it took off - then we were too much in awe to take pictures or videos.

Jensen loved the beach - but it was so hot and sunny in mid-November that we didn't want him to get burned so we kept him in his car seat most of the time. He didn't seem to mind.

He's such a cute and happy baby - not to mention so dang fat!

It was a beautiful day for a trip to the beach in November! Luke LOVED it!

The water was pretty cold so Luke would run in and out of it.He practiced his swimming skills too.

Austin was the hottest guy on the beach - and he knew it! What a hunk...

The beach was perfect white sand and we buried Luke in it.

What a cutie!

Austin took a liitttle bit longer to bury.

Before we went to the beach, we stopped at the dollar store to get some beach toys - they had none! In Florida?!! Anyway, we got some tupperware and serving spoons and they worked just as well. Luke helped to bury his dad with the tupperware.

We had a lot of fun going to the Lowry Park Zoo. This monkey nurses for a few years - yikes!

This tiger LOVED the red ball he had to play with.

Luke thought it was so funny when the tiger jumped on the ball and floated in the water on it.

Austin wanted to leave Luke in the cages with the animals, but I wouldn't let him.

Luke and the bearded pigs at the Lowry Zoo park - really fun place, you could spend days there.

Mom Kramer loved to show off the boys when we visited her at work.

Luke loved it one morning when Dad Kramer took him on a riding lawn ride!

He even let him drive - Luke had the time of his life!

Jensen on his first plane ride. He was good one all 5 flights! Of course, we were so lucky that on 4 of them we got free seats for Luke and Jensen!
