Florida Vacation!

Oliver and I went to visit Papa & Grandma Pati in Winter Haven, FL for President's Day weekend. It was a perfect get away from winter and very good to see them! On Thursday we went to LEGOLAND!!
 




The City of Las Vegas made out of Legos!

We waited for this rocket to "take off".  There was a count down and everything.  We were a little disappointed when it only made noise and smoked :)




A full size Ford Explorer made entirely out of Legos!

Oliver loved making a race car out of legos.  He would try it out down the track and then work to make it faster!




Hero Factory!

Waiting for the water show!
Making robotic legos! He made a plane with a spinning propeller!




On Friday we went to Wild Florida and rode an airboat through the Swamp to look for gators!  This gator's name is Fluffy, he is about 4 ft long and 4 years old.


The cow's wade around in the swamp.
Enjoying the ride!
there's an alligator in the wild!


We ran over 3 coots (black ducks) while riding.  Oliver thought it was hilarious!  The guide said they would just go under the boat and come out the other side just fine.
We almost got hit in the head by one of the coots.  It must have scared the poop out of it because I got poop on my leg!
Oliver tripped over the fire extinguisher on the front of the boat and hit his face on a step.  Poor buddy had a fat lip and we had to use liquid bandage to close up the hole above his lip.


Feeding the alligators!



Saturday we went to Vero Beach.  It was only about 63 degrees and very windy but Oliver still played in the water for awhile.  Once he stopped running around he was freezing so we changed his clothes and played Frisbee for awhile.








Feeding the birds is not a good idea!



Sunday was our last day.  We went to a few different parks and just hung out at their apartment.  It was beautiful outside!  We flew home Sunday night to a winter storm.  The snow waited for us to come back.  We had a wonderful time and cannot wait for them to come home in a few weeks!
