Florida part 2

As for our second part in Florida, (we spent a total of ten days there) we relaxed and enjoyed our halfway destination, our friends in Boca Raton. They have two little boys and little Lucy who arrived not long after we left their house. We had so much fun with them hanging out on the beach and swimming in the pool! 

On Thursday morning we enjoyed a free surfing lesson from a guy my mom met on the beach. After that we drove down through the keys and flew up in a helicopteR over them. This was Ryker and my first time up in a helicopter so this was super special to us! After stopping by some places to take pictures we stopped on the outskirts of Miami to use the bathroom. The "cafeteria" we visited ended up being this hole in the wall dark bar and pool hall...interesting! :))

Friday morning we drove to the Everglades holiday park and took an airboat tour through to see some alligators and other wildlife. 

Friday and Saturday night we stayed at a new square dancing friend, Barbara. She was so sweet and took care of us like her own family. All of Saturday we spent at SeaWorld in Orlando. That was the BEST ever! We went on the super fun and crazy roller coasters and saw the killer whale show, dolphin show, and sea lion show. Every thing about it was amazing and so much fun!

We somehow got a free second day at SeaWorld so we headed back on Sunday and did more rides and shows! I'm so glad we got to go to SeaWorld! Sunday night we stayed at more new square dancing friends of ours, Cheryl and Kelly. They were so kind to bring us tubing/floating down the river close by. This was gorgeous! We also boated down the Santa Fe river and saw another wild gator. 

Altogether I loved Florida so much besides all the ridiculous tolls we had to pay. I finally got a nice tan and am rockin' it! :P
