We did go on Vacation

I took a few moments to look at the blog and realized that I should make record of our vacation in Florida. We enjoyed the beautiful summer-like weather daily on the Naples beach. Doing nothing more than encouraging melanoma and allowing sleep to take us over for one full week was fabulous.

Once again the early bird does get the worm or at least gets to see the dolphins and sting rays. April must be a bad month for sand dollars and calico crabs because we didn't see a one. Rats for Neal, who looked and looked. He was even seen trying to dig a tunnel to Cuba in hopes of running into a few crabs--no luck.

We did have one wonderfully grumpy, crabby and disfunctional morning paddling on the Estero River where we did see a manatee swimming beside us. We couldn't get a photo of the guy, but he was there.  The next day we were on a roll and the boys saw a manatee in the surf at the beach at the condo.

Thanks Gappi and Grandpa B--we had a blast.

Woodbut's Hit New Low of Interest

After viewing the new vimeo video site featuring A-But, I'm left feeling a bit defeated. I have no cute kid pictures or videos. No adorable stories to share and no heart warming anecdotes to offer. I rifled through my recent photo files and found nothing extraordinary, in fact, I'm offering something that one of the Woodbut kids captured while on vacation in Florida. Gappi should feel honored that the buttons on her elevator have made such an impression on them, so as to take a photo of the panel.

Here it is, the exciting button panel on the elevator at Le Ciel.
