Evan, Preston and I joined Evan, Grandpa and Bonnie Mom in Key West on Friday morning. We were able to spend a few days together and had a great time swimming in both the pool and the ocean, snorkeling, eating out together, and exploring Geiger Key. The best part of the vacation was that Preston started to learn how to snorkel! Carl took him out and he was able to see a barracuda, a skate and a shark! He was thrilled! It was a short vacation, as we had to head back home on Tuesday, but we managed to fit in a lot of fun in a few days!
Evan was really excited to go to Coral Camp. Here he is at the airport, ready to head to Key West with Bonnie Mom!
Evan enjoyed Coral Camp. He is already asking to go back next summer! Here he is on his first day of camp.
We kept Preston from taking a nap, so that he would sleep on our late flight. He fooled us though and he stayed up!
Preston fell asleep as we drove from Fort Lauderdale to Florida City, where were going to sleep for the night. He was so tired that he did not even wake up when we took him in the hotel or got him in bed!

As soon as we got to Key West, Preston was ready for some fun! He swam and went to the playground.
We picked up Evan from camp and went to the beach. The boys were excited to see each other. They were tired though, so even though we had some fun, they quickly became grouchy.
We arrived on Daddy's birthday and Evan decorated. It looked great! We planned to celebrate by going out to dinner, but the grouchy boys made that impossible. We all had cake and then Bonnie Mom and Grandpa put the boys to bed a bit early, so that Carl and I could go to dinner.
We went to The Upper Deck at Louie's Backyard, which is one of our favorite places. The food is great and the view is even better!
On Saturday, we went to Higgs Beach to snorkel. Preston snorkeled for the first time!
Preston took a long nap, so Evan got to choose what to do. He chose to play in the pool and catch lizards!
We tried to rent kayaks at Geiger Key in the afternoon, but the kayak rental place was already closed. We decided to stay and explore Geiger Key instead. It is one of our favorite places and the boys has a blast.
We tried to go snorkeling on Sunday morning. We all had fun on the boat, but the snorkeling was a bust. We had to avoid the big reef, since the waves were too big. We tried an alternate spot, but the waves were fairly large there too and they were just too big for the boys. We did have fun on the boat though! We also had fun at Lagerhead's when we were done. We enjoyed snacks, drinks and a fun little beach.
Evan thought he got sea sick when he went out on a boat at Coral Camp. I gave him some medicine to help, but it just made him fall asleep!

Sweet Boys
We enjoyed walking along the harbor and seeing the boats and the fish.
Since Evan slept on the boat so much, he and Carl took a shopping trip on Duval street, while Preston and I took a nap. They went to the candy store, which is one of Evan's favorite places to go. In the evening, we all went to Salute.
We definitely made the most of our last day! We started off with Preston losing his first tooth! He was SO excited! We also ate brunch at Croissants de France, went to the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor, went swimming and went fishing! Carl and I even squeezed in a late dinner date at The Cafe!
