A Bunch more Florida pictures

On our first full day in Clearwater Beach we walked to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which is always a fun place to go. Sea turtles are their version of St. Paul's Peanuts characters, apparently, so we took the obligatory picture.

It was a long, hot walk to the aquarium, so by the time we got back everybody needed a rest.

Especially Grandpa. Once the chair is reclined, it's lights out!

At least the kids weren't mean enough to drop anything in. I think.

The next day we went to Busch Gardens. Koleman loves eagles, so here's a bald eagle.

We saw a goofy show about a dragon and his birthday.

Eli and Annie were paying very close attention to the plot of the dragon show.

All the kids love tigers, so here's a picture of tigers.

Eli and Milena got to go on a ride, and I showed off my poor action photography qualities.

Koleman got to ride something as well.

Kelson just got grumpy and got to do the "Cry in my Stroller" ride.

Hopefully I understood the intended meaning of the sign.

Eli was our navigator, which probably explained a lot.

Ice cream break!

Kelson loves zebras. Zebra! Zebra! Zebra!

Random animal poop.

And, of course, they were tired on the way home. On pictures they sure seem to nap more than they do in real life!

We still had time that day for swimming. Even though he never really went in the water on this day, Kelson was totally prepared.

Annie is kind enough to be Milena's motor.

Koleman really improved his swimming on this trip. We went to the pool at least once every day we were in Florida, so he had lots of time to practice.
