Discovery Cove Pictures!!!

Swimming with the dolphins at Discovery Cove - we all got to kiss them and pose with them for pictures!!

If you hugged them and leaned into them they picked up their tail - makes for cute pictures!!!!

Then we swam to the deep water and the dolphin came and swam us back into shore

Marcus even posed for the picture!!

By the looks of this picture - I think that I might be shrinking-seems I keep getting shorter around here!!!

Just brought away the underwater cameras-so will have more in a few days!!!

More of Florida

Grasshopper by our house - Marcus wanted to show how big it was - it's really quite large - yuck!!

Mike and Marcus taking off on their fishing trip for 4 hours!!

while Jamie and I sat on the beach at Cocoa Beach - it was hot and gorgeous to be on the beach today and yes we are quite burnt today - even though we reapplied 3-4 times today

Mike and Marcus joined us after they were done fishing - enjoyed cooling off some in the waves - if you can see Marcus is way on the right side in the wave - I was under the umbrella since had enough sun for the day!!!

We walked out on the pier at Cocoa Beach right before we headed back to our house - it was really neat out there as well!

And this was the catch of the day - Marcus caught a Sting Ray and he got to keep the barb from it - their guide cut it out and Marcus just got finished bleaching out the poison and is taking it home - the guide cut it out and let him go again and he said that he would grow another one back - that seems weird to me but cool for Marcus!!!

Last day tomorrow already - wow time flies when your having fun - we are sleeping in and talking bout going back to Sea World - Good Times!!!

Florida - Part 1

there is a dolphin in this picture - hunting for food - hard to see but he is there

Kids swimming at Canaveral Beach - was an absolutely gorgeous beach - found many shells here too

Shopping at Ron Jon Surf Shop

Sea World on Thurs - AMAZING

CUTE

Mike and Jamie getting along well - :)

Dolphin show at Sea World - more later when we get back !!!!!!!

Now we have 4 vehicles!!

Jamie is the proud owner of Marcus' car and she is thrilled - she already has girlified it according to her - she now has a pink and blue flowered wheel cover instead of a camo bullet one!!!

It's very nice having a reliable car for her as she has a school permit and I am thrilled not to be stuck with the moped when both need a vehicle!!

Marcus purchased a 2002 Bonneville - it's in great condition - has lots of miles but runs and rides really nice - he is excited as well and gets the garage until he leaves for college and then Jamie gets it back and yes Mike is still stuck outside for now :(

Have lots of smiles here tonight - fun times for the two of them to be busy making it their own vehicles!

He graduated!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep finally got around to putting the graduation pictures up! Been a little crazy here but all good crazy.

Marcus had many friends and family at graduation and enjoyed being finished with high school and moving on to the next step! Karlie and her mom came for the graduation

These two are quite the pair - Jamie will miss her brother not always being around next year and also not being here body guard at school

Proud dad and mom

grandpa and grandma

My sister Bonnie and niece Alex

and grandma Altena - was so fun to have her here for the long weekend of celebrations and graduation!!

and these three Marcus - Brandalyn Van Zee - Patrick Kooima - have been classmates since Pre-school - always hung out together and still do - today (Saturday) they are all together with probably another 6-8 friends at Patrick's lake home on Lake Cochran for the day - boating and having a great time - they were up and gone by 7am. It is a great blessing to have such wonderful friends, Congrats to them all!!!
