Key Largo

One Saturday when James was off of work we rented a car and drove down to the Florida Keys. We had heard rave reviews about a glass-bottom boat tour at an underwater national park in Key Largo and thought it sounded perfect, especially since snorkeling the reef is a no-go with out littles in tow. Because lets be really honest, Ever kind of made the boat ride miserable so I can't imagine what would have happened if we attempted to actually go in the water! That kid is something else.

The boat went so, so fast and the boys were feeling pretty brave watching the wake.

The highlight of the trip was the 45 minutes we spent over a huge coral reef. These pictures don't do it justice but the water was crystal clear and you could see all the vibrant colors of the fish, the plants and the other animals. Plus there were tour guides on the boat giving us information about everything we saw. It was a really cool experience and James and T were in heaven!

Everett and I spent most of our time out on the front of the boat. That kid is passionate, that's for sure. He loves hard but boy he grumps hard too! And just about everything was setting him off.

And then there's Talmage, who couldn't love an adventure more if he tried. He is such a fun kid to take places because he truly loves learning, exploring and just plain doing.

Lovies on a boat!

You know, you got to have at least a few super awkward family photos on vacations. That's about the only family picture we got on this trip!

Ever on Dad's watch. I don't know why I take pictures of him in tears. Weirdly enough I look at them and think he's darn cute though. I adore him, no surprise there...huh?

After boating we went to the yummiest ever seafood restaurant right down the street from the national park. They only use fresh seafood from Key Largo and you can taste the difference. It was amazing!

Cute, cute place.

The BEST food!

And you know, to finish things off here is T with a pirate. Arrr!
