Always a New Adventure...

We have been having many adventures with our boys this summer. I love Florida summers! So blistering hot! But I wouldn't have it any other way =) LOVE THE HEAT! We have been to the Tampa Aquarium with my sister and David. I forgot to take my camera so I didn't really take pictures. Well, I did with my phone but it is across the room, and I haven't put the pictures in the lap top O.o (heh heh! wonderful excuses!) After the Aquarium, Isaac's brother Will came by for a week. We had a great visit while he was here :) 

We bought a 3 acre lot in Marion County several months ago. Maybe we'll move there some day. Isaac and Will did some clearing. They had fun, but the ticks bites reminded them all week of what they did there. 

Having fun climbing trees. 

 No rest for the weary traveler!

 Somebody's got muskles XD

 Lots of trees...

Conquering the land

Now to adventures that include the cutest two little people in this house :) I love taking the boys to new places and having them experience new things. I love to see their faces trying to take it all in and understand it all. 

We went to the beach with Will and his friend, Alyssa. This was in the morning. We go to the beach in the morning and only for about 3 hours so the boys don't get too hot or sun burned. We also bring shade! There is a lot to carry :) but it's always fun. 

 Look at that belly! Wade loves the beach. He loves the water and sand...and eating crunchy raisins and powdered donuts. 

 mmmmm! Crunchy raisins:)

 Got to say, that bowl is awesome

There is the handsome father and son duo :) Wade stuffs his mouth like that all the time lol!

 Ben, he likes the beach too, but not near as much as Wade does since he spends most of the time in his pack and play in the shade

 There he is :) guarding our stuff haha!

 hahaha! 

 Will and Alyssa enjoying the water. The water was just a little on the cool side but the sun was nice and hot. 

 I have really come to like the beaches down here. I used to only like the East Coast side beaches and I do miss the large waves, but these beaches are wonderful for relaxing or for babies :)

The following set of pictures was another day at a different beach in the evening. We went to see the sunset. Sunsets here are so beautiful with the colors and the water. I love sunsets!

 Sand ^.^

 haha! so cute!

 Daddy wiping the sand away =) 

 Ben. Wade and Alyssa in the background

 Sandy fingers

 Ben enjoyed this beach outing more than the previous because he was allowed to explore.

 Splash!

 Those waves look fun...

 An attempt to get a picture with Daddy, or Daddy with the boys...either way it wasn't happening!

 Diaper baby =D

 Glad he got to get wet and full of sand

 Beautiful still ocean

 Almost sunset!

 Such a wonderful man... ♥

Will and Alyssa

Good bye day! 

These different outings may be shuffled in order but the next one here is Busch Gardens. I love Busch Gardens, the rides and the animals. We got to take Wade on some rides this time :) 

 Sleeping hippo

 So cool to be able to take a picture like this even though its through a glass

 Hyena, I hate these animals!

 It was a long day for the boys we were there for 6 hours. Needless to say, they got tired of their stroller and the heat.

 We're awesome XD

 In line to go on the carousal.  

 Ben wasn't allowed to go, because he didn't have shoes, which was totally absurd because he can't even walkO.o Poor ting, he was so hot! 

 But Wade got to go. He wasn't too sure about it though. 

 He likes Daddy's' shoulders more than the carousal :)  

 Another ride for Wade! He did like this one :) 

 Waiting to get on one more ride

 Ben being patient

  =)

Something I cherish of  living in the city is the sound of the ice cream truck coming by our neighborhood. When I lived in Orlando growing up it used to go by about once a week or so I think. We have an ice cream truck that comes by once a week here and we had to introduce Wade to the wonderful experience of  ice cream from the ice cream truck!

 Can't go wrong with the ice cream sandwich :) 

 Wade sat in the carport to enjoy his first ever ice cream sandwich

 Ben, "I want some!"

 mmmmmmm.....

 Wade was getting tired of all the pictures XD

 Melting

Love to see him thoroughly enjoying himself :) 

 Ben was not thoroughly enjoying himself lol! He was in a walker, no ice cream and on top of it all he was getting eaten alive by mosquito. I didn't realize he was getting bit so bad till a few minutes later. Poor kid had like 20 bites O.o

 We also redid our front while Will was here. We mulched it last week. Will post pictures later :) 

 Wade loves being involved

 Help!

 What a handsome little man ^_^

That is all the pictures for now! It is 3:30am here. Isaac is on duty so then I hold watch duty also XD hahaha! Actually not really. I was just not sleep because I had a real long nap today. I basically napped with the boys. But I am getting tired now so I'm going to wrap up and be done here.
