&
family

fort myers, florida....

our first adventure took us into the swamplands...
we rode an airboat with a driver that had no front teeth and an accent only his mother could understand! he took us all through the narrow ways in the everglades (40mph on an airboat=crazy fast) and tried to lure the gators out with marshmallows (who knew?) at the end of the adventure we all got the opportunity to hold an alligator....jonathan was very skeptical :)

we also took advantage of the 80 degree weather and headed out to ft. myers beach. it was def a world away from the cold weather in chi-town! bayleigh did great all vacation and he especially loved to chase the seagulls that got to close to our beach chairs....what a great "security" dog :)

after we tanned at the beach, we took a stroll down the ft. myers pier and watched the sunset. it was a great end to a great day!

what a bunch of "crazy fools"....

new years eve...fort myers style

the streets were closed off, the booze was flowing, the music was playing
and the ball dropped, ringing in the new year....2007!
