Florida Holiday - Day 1 - Sanibel Island

After a quick lunch at Hoots, we continued out drive to Sanibel Island. The kids caught up with the rest of their sleep, so it provided us with peaceful drive. It was so peaceful that even i slept! hehehe..

So, when we got to Blind Pass Condominium where we rented the a spacious 2-bedroom apartment, the kids were fully rested and all charged up again. They were excited to check out their new room(they love staying at new places!). Cody was super excited that he got to have a big boy bed all to himself! They even had their own TV!!

After we unpacked and got settled in, we went to check out the long awaited beach! Tyler was particularly excited about because he's only been talking about it for a week!!! The beach is just a short walk away across a "alligator river" as Tyler calls it.

The beach itself was alright by our standards(we've been to lots of beautiful beaches) but to Tyler, it was perfect!! He saw all the shells and was picking them up by the buckets. I had to tell him that we can only pick a few. But shells could only excited him for so long. Soon, he was brave enough and started jumping in the waves and started wading in. The nice part about this beach was, it is quite shallow for quite a ways out.

Cody on the other hand was a little intimidated but soon was willing to wade in a little. We are hoping to get him by the end of the trip. He spent most of his time scooping stuff up with his bucket.
