Florida 2012

The last week in April we took a family holiday to Pompano Beach, Florida. It was a much needed break. Our laptops stayed home and it was a week free of work, email, Facebook, blogs, pinterest, etc and all the stress from home. Both of the boys loved the beach. Walking to the beach one day, Micah sang the whole way, "Mister Sun. Sun. Mister Golden Sun. Please shine down on me!" Jared would giggle, flap his arms and legs wildly, and try to dive bomb into the sand whenever we would get to the beach.

Micah was also so excited to see palm trees. The first thing he said as we left the airport in Fort Lauderdale was: "Wow, Mom, look at all the palm trees!" and then when we got back to Toronto and were leaving the airport he asked "Where are all the palm trees?" I had to sadly remind him that we were back home in Toronto and we don't have palm trees in Toronto.

Besides beach time we also did some shopping, went to the everglades (Sawgrass Recreational Center), and visited the Gumbo Limbo Nature Centre. Below are a few pictures from our trip.
