Big Cypress National Wildlife Preserve

Evan and I went on a real safari adventure today; to the Big Cypress National Wildlife Preserve in Florida. We saw plenty of wildlife there. From big Blue Herons, to Woodstorks, Turtles, Vultures, Alligators, and Anhingas. (A bird that dives undrwater to catch fish.) I'm pretty sure I spotted a Bald Eagle on a lamp post on the way home, but I'm not entirely sure. We had fun, but most of the conversation between Evan and I revolved around how he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese.

Best of Photobooth







Our best Photo Booth pictures from Florida. Evan and Eliana love playing on Photo Booth, taking tons, (sometimes too many,) pictures on Daddy's computer, or "Pyuter" as Evan refers to it. It provides hour of entertanment for the kids.

All Star Music Resort


This was one of those days when Evan simply refused to pose for any photos. Daddy takes them anyway, they make for interesting moments.

Mommy and Eliana, superstars.

The real reason Evan didn't want to take photos. The arcade! Which Evan referred to as "Chuck E. Cheese." Evan played video games, Skee Ball, (Which he calls 'bowling,) and Table Hockey. If we never left the hotel and stayed in the arcade, he would have been fine with that.

Okay, so Eliana meeting Mickey and Minnie didn't go so well. 

Evan's a pro now, he's done this before...

Evan said that he told Santa he wanted "All of the toys."
