We made our annual pilgrimage to Miami this summer. We have been so many times and I feel like I post the same pictures of the beach and view. This time I'm putting up some different photos. This was the first year Gavin was old enough to enjoy the plane ride. We took the red-eye flight and got in to Ft. Lauderdale after 1am. One of my favorite memories of this year was about Gavin's understanding of the word 'Miami'. He thinks we are talking about someone's 'ami'. He calls it "mommy's ami" or "my ami" or "your ami". It's very cute.
Our boys are big fans of the Miami Heat basketball team. We took them to their arena. We bought them each a mini basketball. They had fun dribbling and playing with them outside the arena.
We went to Bayside, an open-air market, right near the cruise port. We tend to go here every year but this was the first time the boys noticed this giant banyan tree. It's big enough for them to climb in it.
We spent everyday at the beach and pool. This was the first year the boys really enjoyed the ocean. Before they didn't like the salt water getting in their eyes. Our first day the water was really choppy. Matt would lie right along the shore line where the waves broke and he would get flipped and tossed around. He loved it! Gavin liked the beach more than I was expecting. He collected lots of seashells and loved having the water lap up on his feet. One afternoon we rented a kayak. That was fun.
This is Matt's 'Baywatch' photo.
Gavin took these next two pictures of Matt. After he woke up from sleeping on the lounge chair, he got my camera and captured these two images of Matt.
Cowabunga dude!
Adam is just relaxing in the water.
