We got back on Sunday from a great trip to Sanibel Island in FL. We met my mom, my Aunt Barbie, my cousin Rhett's wife Christie and their 7 year old Tyler. It was a great, very realxing trip and Alec thoroughly enjoyed the beach. Sanibel is a super cute little island, and we had a cottage that was only about 30 ft from the ocean, we also had a great pool. It was super hot, like 102 with 90 percent humidity, so we spent a lot of time in the water every day, and generally just relaxing and hanging out. We did go on one dolphin spotting cruise ride where we saw a bunch of dolphins, which was cool, although not as cool as seeing the dolphin's swimming in the ocean water right by us on the beach, which we ended up seeing several times.
All in all it was a great trip, and I think something we will try and make a yearly tradition of.
Watching for dolphin
Tyler and Alec. Alec absolutely adored Tyler and wanted to do every single thing that he did at all times.
Frisbee on the beach - he got really good
Some yard work at the condo
The beach - Sanibel is known for its shells, which you can see on the beach. It was incredible to see, and Alec loved collecting them everyday.
Races with Bub
Watching dolphin with Grammy
Headed to the beach for the day
Like last summer, Alec is already ridiculously tan. I dumped sun block on him the entire trip, but he still darkened right up - one trait he got from his mama.
The boys
The Sanibel crew
Alec also LOVED floating in the ocean - every time we were out he would want to lie on his back and float, waiting for another wave to come and crash into him. He wasn't so into floating at the pool, where instead he wantes to jump in every 5 seconds for hours on end.
More running - you know it's a good trip when you get almost everyone in the your party in on some good old fashion chase.

So much fun! Next year we need to correspond our trips to Sanabel and Marco! Can you imagine those two boys on the beach together? It looks like an awesome trip and seriously Alec's coloring could not be any more gorgeous.
Yeah, and I am pretty sure I mean coordinate not correspond :-) I just read the Thomas Yearbook for the 14th time today and think my brain is fried.
What a cutie, these are great pics, Alec is a mini ken doll in the summer:) I can't wiat for you guys to come home, we miss you!
I miss Sanibel! What fun it was to see Alec enjoying the beach so much. My favorite is the first picture of him strolling along. Precious.
