Other Florida Fun

Dirt and 4 years olds seem to find each other....to their delight.

The Brahma herd interests me every time we pass.

Is is possible to go to Florida without a trip to the beach?

The tide was high and the surf was up on this day.

We found a windrow of coarsely crushed shells along the beach.

It wasn't pleasant to walk through bare foot.

As you can see, it was a busy day at the beach.

I found the perfect shell for SJ that day.  Of course it 

was at a store and not the beach. She wanted her own 

shell that allowed her to hear the ocean any time she wanted.  

It was for her "display" shelf.

FOR FHE we harvested palm fronds for sliding down the slide.

This is Taylor harvesting some fronds.

Ammon was one of the first to demonstrate how to do it.

Sadly, it was so exciting that he had a little accident near
the end, so his mom quickly designed a black garbage
bag outfit so the fun could continue. 

Abby is up!

Janna gets a boost from Caden.                Scott and Sam take the plunge.

Taylor was our sentry in the tree.

Andrew fashioned a weapon is case of attack.

It was a fun activity to remember the events of palm Sunday.

This is the current shell pit on the ranch.

We actually found some amazing shells!

Best of all, they are petrified shells!

I carried several home in my 35 pound carry on.

The contents consisted of grapefruit, shells and chocolate!

This is the near by jungle from the top of the pit.
