Vacation

For Christmas my parents bought us plane tickets so we could all be together in Florida for a little vacation. Now I have to say that this is the first year they have ever invited us down to Florida with them. I think they really just wanted Maizie. :)

The first day we got there was nice and the next morning was warm but by the time Mai got up from her nap it was starting to get cold and continued to be cold (and by cold I mean in the 50-60's during the day and in the 30's at night) for most of our vacation. It was very sunny though.

Our first day we went for a walk to the park and then down by the river.

Maizie loves the swings!

But she still isn't sure about the slide.

Walking to the river to see the fish and look for manatees.

On Monday we went to the Naples Zoo. Maizie really had a good time. She loves cats and the zoo had a lot of big cats.

We couldn't tear Mai away from this leopard. It was just walking back and forth in front of the window of it's enclosure.

She also really liked the black bears.

I love this picture of Maizie and Tracy.

Watching the alligator feeding. Not too much action though. It was too cold for them to want to eat.

On our way out of the zoo we stopped at the gift shop. We let Maizie pick out something and she choose Lemur. Lemur is the first stuffed animal/doll she has attached too. And let me tell you she loves Lemur. She hasn't really let Lemur out of her sight and even shares her bottle and O's with Lemur.

On Friday it was finally warm enough to go swimming again.

A while ago my dad taught Maizie how to kick a ball. Now it's one of her favorite things to do. She loved playing by the "big pool" with her ball.

And just because she is so so cute. I love when she comes over to me and looks up at me with a little smirk.
