December 5 - December 11 (J-Week 51)
Florida!
Lily and I left for Florida during a HUGE snowstorm that dumped 12 inches of snow on Ray and Jon. We also avoided the deep freeze of NEGATIVE 4 degrees! We had an awesome time in Florida!
Playing with Mem
And Gracie!
Yes, Gracie does look scared. Lily was very gentle but I think Gracie was having flashbacks! Gracie is doing really well with Mem and Pep. They spoil her way more than any dog has ever been spoiled! She loves them and I'm very happy she's there.
The Zoo
Auntie Bev and Uncle Art took us to the zoo. I spent most of the day on Uncle Dan's or Uncle Art's shoulders. It is the preferred method of travel for one of my stature.
Fun!
We had lots of fun making things at the zoo. Lily and Aunt Bev made a penny and a plastic manatee and a plastic camel. Lily gave the camel to Muma and when we got back to Kansas and she found the manatee she said "Where's my camel?" I told her that she gave it to Muma. "Muma give it back", she said. She's got such a mind of her own now!
And Gracie Again
She really is spoiled. This is how she spends most of her day.
Decorating Muma
Lily liked making Muma sparkle.
Airplane!
They had a neat play area at the Tampa airport. Here's Lily in a plane!
Daddy & Jon
My, how well they got along. Poor Jon. That's a marshmallow stuck on his nose. Apparently it was there the whole time we were gone. :-) Love you Ray!
Rock on! First post again! (Sorry Ray!)
Lily your hair is getting so long! It looks like you girls had a great time in Florida (Hello everyone in Florida)! Jon and Ray were saving that marshmallow for later... who needs real food when the girls are gone! I bet they ate fun stuff and played all day!
I really enjoyed going to the zoo with you guys, although I did miss not seeing Jon! It was still a lot of fun! I think it's great that Lily bonded with her uncle Dan, and it was good for him too, even if he won't admit it to anyone! :-) Muma looked great Lily!! I think Jon and Daddy did pretty well alone, a week with a marshmallow isn't so bad! :-) Well, it was great to see everyone and it was lots of fun, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!!
Love you all!!

Hi All,
Glad to hear Daddy and Jon had fun while the girls were gone. Lily was so much fun to visit with,(we missed you Jon & Ray). There seems to be one photo missing from their visit though, the one with the bird on Jen's head. I think she needs to add that one. It was too cute and Lily was such a good sport when all the birds landed on and around her. We miss you already!!!
Love Aunt Bev
