Florida - Day Three

Whew - it is a very different feeling to wake up to humid hot weather. I have been having lots of hot flashes with this pregnancy and unfortunately when I feel really hot I start to feel very nauseous. So I am trying to sit out on the porch and feel the breezes off the water and take deep breaths, so far so good! The water is so pretty to sit and watch....we could spend all day just relaxing on the porch and watching the kids play. We decided to go to Jungle Gardens today....another special memory I have from growing up!! It is right down the road from my grandparents house. It is a beautiful little zoo/park with nature trails you walk along and see reptiles, birds, flamingos, turtles etc. We watched a fun bird show and I think Angel was a little confused how these birds were riding bicycles and roller skates. Alli held a parrot and fed flamingos....Angel just wanted to watch from a distance!! She and Emma did enjoy feeding the fish and walking along the trails. I got them each a cute bird that makes bird calls when you push their bellies. A fun outing and not too hot in the shade!! Then later that afternoon we went and picked up Meghan and little Albert at the airport. Bertie boy has gotten so big!!! Almost looks as big as Emma.....he is so happy and will easily smile at you! The girls love the baby and Emma just wants to give him lots of hugs and kisses. My cousins Emily and Michael and Aunt Ann came over for a visit so that was fun. We made spaghetti and salad for dinner, yummers!! We had a little eventful night as Megs and Albert are sleeping up with me and the girls and when one of them would wake up and fuss....it would trigger another one to chime in and then the next. So hoping that gets better!! So nice to have all my sisters together and making lots of special memories!!
