Decorating Cookies

On Good Friday we got up early and drove to Deer Creek for the morning. Bud and Judy hadn't seen the girls since January. It was nice to spend time with them since we knew Easter would be busy. After lunch we went to Wadena so the girls could take a nap. After the nap, Maddie helped Grandma decorate cookies. She did such a good job! Nobody could complain that there wasn't enough sprinkles on them.

Maddie's Haircut

Today I took Maddie to get her haircut. I decided to go short. I can't believe how grown up Maddie looks now she has the shorter hair.

The final product

Last day in Florida

On Monday we went to a place that had animals out in the wild. There wasn't any fences and depending on the day and time, you can see different things. My camera was running low on battery so I didn't get to take many pictures. We did see some live gators and birds.

The Beach

On Saturday we went to the Beach. I couldn't believe how many shells there were. I actually wore my sandals most of the time I walked because the shells hurt my sensitive feet!!

Largo

On Thursday we drove from Bonita Springs up north to Largo to see my grandparents. We got there around 3:30pm. We left on Friday afternoon to head back to the Stohl's. We had a great time picking grapefruit off of the trees in the backyard, swimming in the pool and just being outside. Reggie was even to play 9 hole before we left.

Twins

On Wednesday Reggie went with my Dad and Mom to the Twins game in Fort Meyers. My parent's were down to see my grandparents and have a vacation. It just worked out that we were able to be down there at the same time. Here are some pictures from the game and batting practice.

Florida

I know it has been awhile since I last posted some pictures but it has been crazy here. We left for Florida on Feb 24th. We went to see my best friend Heather, her hubby Chris and their two boys Xavier and Zander. We also saw my grandparents who I haven't seen in about 5 years. Here are some pictures from the trip.

On the 25th we went to the Everglades Wonder Garden. They had alligators, snakes, crocodiles, bears, deer, ducks, peacocks, turtles and an otter. There are probably more animals that I am sure I am forgetting to say. Maddie actually got to pet a baby alligator.

I am not sure if these are gators or croc
