Triplets' First Vacation: Part 3 (the rest of the trip)

I'm on picture overload right now.  I love taking pictures and I used them to mostly tell the story.  If you want to read about our travel day with triplets, click here; and if you want to know about the first part of our Florida vacation, click here.

 

 

On April 30, Brian and I signed up for a kayaking tour by ourselves.  The girls stayed with the grandparents for the day (and had a great time without us).  Brian and I got a tandem kayak so we could chat while we were on the water.

 

 

 

 

We came across some wildlife while kayaking.  We saw some dolphin in the distance, some tree crabs in the mangroves, and the neatest were the Cormorant birds.  They were paddling next to us in the kayak, when they would dive and swim under and all around us.  They stayed with us for quite a long time.  Take a look at this video.

 

 

 

 The tour also took us through the mangrove tunnels.  They were so cool and we had done something like this in Puerto Rico before.  You could see the tree crabs all over the trees and we also spotted some sea stars under the water.

 

 

Ready for another Beach Day!  The girls are ready to go.

 

 

Siesta Key beach was beautiful.  This day the waves were much higher.

 

 

 

 

Our last day, we saved for the MOTE Aquarium in Sarasota.  We knew it was supposed to rain, so it was the perfect opportunity to do something indoors.  It was another first for the babies.  However they fit right in...

 

 

 

They loved looking through the glass to see the sea creatures.

 



 

 This ended up being a really memorable vacation.  I loved watching my girls do and see things for the first time.  I know they won't remember it, but I will and I can tell them all about it.  Traveling with triplets is not what you would call easy, but it can be done, and I'm so glad we took on the challenge.  And a big big thank you to my parents and Brian's Mom for joining us and making it a little easier.  Thank You!  Where are we going next?!?
