4 Dog Mother/fivedogdad meets delidog Pictures from trip to Florida

On Monday evening I returned from a weeklong trip to Florida to see my husband fivedogdad who is now living and working in Melbourne. While I was there, we had dinner at a very nice restaurant named the Quilted Giraffe with Delidog and her friend John. Here are some of the pictures we had taken of our evening together

Here is one of Nicole (delidog) by herself

We had a great time visiting with them and actually closed the restaurant. I think they were glad when we finally walked out the door and quit asking them to take pictures for us. It is too bad that the restaurant would not let Joey, Delilah and Joey in because we would have loved to have met them. But the chance is still there. Our house will soon be going up for sale and hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of Nicole and John after we move down there.

Other pictures for the trip - my niece Danielle who is three months younger than Amy (Cincy's mom), her husband, Nick and her three year old daughter, Katrina went along with me. Here is a picture of the little cutie:

A 200 year old turtle we saw at a pet store:

At first we didn't think it was alive - it looked so petrified but then parts began to move - the tongue, the eyes, the head and the legs. It was quite scary to look at - but then again we probably would be too if we lived to be 200!

Hope you enjoy - if you want to see more the album is here.

Simply gorgeous pictures - scenery, humans, and animals alike! I am mesmerized by that old turtle guy!

Katrina is beautiful! I love her smile and her eyes in the one with the lizard. :)

Great pictures!! I'm so jealous. I've lived in Florida my WHOLE life yet i've only seen a dolphin wild once, and it was in a nasty canal type thing.


I can't wait until you guys fully move down here!!

Katrina is adorable!

Kay, once we get settled you will have to come see us. I am not sure if it happens year round or not but the two times the last time was in June of 2002) I have been to this area I have seen dolphins in this "lake" - an area separated from the ocean by an island. There are suppose to be Manatees near the docks too but have never made it there. Last time we went we saw a huge sea turtle laying her eggs in the sand. Florida sure has some amazing wild life!

Katrina is a beautiful child but boy is she a live wire! I think she sleeps less than anyone I know. She doesn't fall asleep until 11 or midnight and at 6:30 in the morning she would pop into my room and climb up on the bed. "Where is your mom and dad?"
"Sleepin" she would say. Then she would give me a big hug and kiss and start jabbering away! Her naps consisted of 15 or 20 minutes car ride time.

She is such a sweetie! On Mother's Day, I called my mom to wish her Happy Mother's Day. Katrina got on the phone wished her Happy mother's day, then asked "Where is granpa?"; How's him doing?" This is her great-grandfather! She gets to see them fairly often but still it amazes me the thing she says.

We might be willing to share But I bet that Amy and her brother Rob might be inclined to agree with us!!

:)

Guys, guys. Stop fighting over Diana. I can solve this problem easily. She will just have to not go to Florida or stay in Ohio, but move to TEXAS :D

I think we are going to have to work out a schedule here!! I'm thinking Jan-April in Texas, May-August in Ohio and Sept-Dec in Florida....avoid the snow and the horrible heat and split time between family and adopted family....

Amy, her crew -- and Rob can just move down here too!!! :D

I read that wrong at first and thought you were saying we should kick you guys out...which I thought would defeat the purpose of us coming there...but thenI reread and it made more sense :)

And as for the idiot drivers...they should be banned totally, from everywhere!!!
