anna maria part 2

opening with a few beach pics i stole from L (these should have been with the last post):

this would be the non-swimming, wet kids day =p

my beach boy - did I mention he loved the sand and the waves?

getting sleepy

 

the next day, we went to the Pittsburgh Pirates spring training opening game, across the bridge in Bradenton.  hanging out before we left:

as we pulled into a small and expensive lot across the street, a ball flew out of the park and landed in front of us!  the attendant gave it to the girls:

 

 

exactly 7 months between each of these =)

ben had just called g&g to tell them about the game, when this guy came over!

hoping to get an autograph afterwards (no luck)

our starlet

 guess what we did back at home? =)

water wings = independence

 

the following day, ben's uncle and aunt came up to meet us for lunch - and treated the girls to this enormous sundae!

we found some 'toys' for the babies

which of course the big girls then wanted - here they are 'making pancakes'

like another little brother =)

we made pizza and stayed with the kids that night while our friends went out, and they returned the favor the next night.  perfection =)
