Our vacation to Naples, Florida Part Two

We stayed in Pelican Bay and the two beaches we had access to were gorgeous. Gracie loved playing in the water and crawling on the sand. She, of course, also tried to eat the sand.

This is one of the many amazing houses along the beach.

There was so much amazing wildlife along the berm area.

Yes, that is a baby aligator! Not sure where his mama is ...

Naples, Florida Part One

We took a family vacation to Naples, Fla., in early August and it was wonderful. Grace did great on her first airplane rides and made friends with everyone. She loved the beach, especially the waves. We had such a relaxing time!!

Grace loved the tram ride to the beach! She loves the wind blowing in her face and hair.

First time to feel the sand beneath her toes.

She loves it!

Day One was a success!

GRon and Grammie Barbie Birthday Celebrations

Both Grandpa Ron and Grandma Barbara celebrate birthdays in July. Barbara hit a majoy milestone this year -- 70 years old! We celebrated the entire month of July and even had a big party for Barbara at the end of August.

We took Ron to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's -- his favorite place for ribs.

Barbara's lunch was just the girls at the Webster House.

Greg babysat the cousins, and they had a blast with Grace!

Barbara's big birthday bash was out at their house. Grace has so much fun climbing up the stairs, and was, of course, the center of attention.

The Paulsons come to visit!

Okay, so this is sooooo long ago, but the Paulsons came to Kansas City to visit and to attend Cho's wedding. This was the week of July 22nd. I know, ridiculously long ago. Here are the lovely pictures of the Sunday evening picnic of all of the kiddos. Grace got to hang out with Grace Katherine Taylor, who is just two days older. And of course, there is the adorable Zach Paulson who is sooo big!!
