Fun with the Loricks

We went to Ocala last week to meet the newest member of the Lorick family, Haylah. She was born in early June, but we wanted to give the family a few weeks to adjust before we barged in. What a GREAT baby!! She didn't fuss one time while we were there. Adison got to play with her buddy, Gracie. This was the first time that she actually went off without me (they were only in the livingroom) to play. The girls also took a ride in Gracie's Barbie jeep. Gracie was a very good driver!! It was a really fun visit!!

St Pete Beach

Saturday we went to St Pete Beach to meet up with Lance's Aunt Betsey and her family. We went straight to the beach when we arrived. Adison thought the waves were fun. She had to taste the water, of course. She loved playing in the sand with Taylor and Michaella. She also LOVED sharing sno cones with the girls while we cooled off in the pool with Uncle Mike. We went to Crabby Bill's for dinner. Adison tried fried shrimp (YUM!) and had her first Oreo cookie. It was really nice catching up with everyone. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park

We visited Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park on Sunday for a few hours. It was a scorcher outside, so it was a pretty quick trip. As usual, Adison wasn't afraid of anything. She thought the snakes and turtles were the best. I'm not sure where she gets that from!!!

First Beach Trip

Adison experienced her first trip to the beach today. We went to Pine Island for a few hours before we took her to the real deal to see how she liked it. As with most things, she LOVED it. She liked the water but would have spent the whole day playing in the sand if she had her choice. It was a perfect little get away for the girls (Adison, Granny, & Mommy). We'll go back again this summer for some more fun!!

First Airboat Ride

We took Adison for her very first airbat ride recently. I was a little afraid that she would be scared of all the noise, but she wasn't. She LOVED it!! We found a little sandy spot to stop for lunch. After we ate, we decided to take a dip in the river to cool off. She thought swimming was the best. She kept ducking her head under the water until she got water up her nose. After that, she just floated in her crabby. She had to wave at EVERY other boat that went by. She was asleep before we even made it back to the boat ramp. It was a really fun thing to experience with her. We're looking forward to going out again soon!

Happy Birthday, Adison!!

Adison's first birthday was Saturday. We had a party at the house for her with lots of friends and family. It was a perfect day!! She liked jumping in the bounce house with everyone. (Her version of jumping was sitting while others bounced her around.) I think her favorite part was the cake. At first she just looked at it not realizing that it was hers to tear into. It only took a few seconds for her to catch on that she was allowed to make a mess and dive in. She ate so much I thought she would be sick. It was such a memorable day. I can't believe my little girl is already a year old. Where did the time go?

I'm sooo Sleepy!!!

Adison was exhausted after a night at Granny's and a day of putting together her new swing set. Trust me, it is a rare thing for this girl to miss a meal!!
