Captiva Island 2010

Our Spring Break Trip to Captiva Island...I have LOTs of pictures, so I will just capture things for you in a nutshell :)

Auntie A and Uncle Ben secretly set up an "Amazing Race" on the island for us. We picked teams and we were off! Here is one of our challenges....going to one of our favorite restaurants, The Mucky Duck, and hooking a ring on the ring toss game that they have out on the beach. Here's my dad trying his hand at it.




Roadblock!! We had to go to another restaurant and find a certain waitress who brought us a dozen peel and eat shrimp that we had to eat before we got the next clue. That's my mom and I...we were the "Hot Mamas" team!



I couldn't get many pictures because I was busy trying to win the race (which we did not!) But, here are the winners!! Jason and Drew!! Their prize was floating in the pool....trophies! We have them proudly displayed in our house :)



Auntie A and Drew looking cute at The Bubble Room.



Me and the kiddos in the "Tunnel of Love" at The Bubble Room.



Another day, we hopped a boat and set off to Gasparilla Island. We left at 10 in the morning and it seems someone conned their Aunt and Uncle into a little ice cream for breakfast....notice Brooke in the background in zipped up in my dad's sweatshirt. It was cold!!



Jason and Jackson working on their brackets.....



Nana and Papa fussing over Brooke. Whatever she needs, she gets!


Hangin' with the ice cream providers....wait until they have kids!



Brooke was sick during this vacation. We even ended up taking her to the er one night because I thought she may have pneumonia. Luckily, I had brought by nebulizer so here we are in the kitchen of some restaurant giving her a breathing treatment after lunch!



First time in the pool!




Auntie A ready to catch her!




The morning of our fishing trip....ready to catch a shark!




OK, maybe not a shark, but here's Drew with his Sheephead. He caught the biggest one!



Jackson with the biggest redfish....




Back on the dock watching the captain filet our fish!




At the only bar on the island that has KU on TV. The boys at their first bar....so exciting.




On a hike thru a nature preserve, we saw these signs. We did end up seeing one alligator at the waters edge. It was kinda freaky.



On our way to the beach......Brooke and her bodyguard!




She loved the sand! We would've stayed longer if the wind wasn't blowing so hard. She was getting into it.
