Vacation 2010 Chapter Two...

There were so many fun things to do and even though we all said we were just going to relax while we were in Florida not one of us could stick to it.

We spent some time on the pier at St. Augustine just watching the water and watching people fish.

Ethan loved watching them load and unload the boats on the ramp. He was so hypnotized by the whole process.

We went to Fort St. Augustine and took a tour.

We were looking into the "moat". The sign said "Stay off moat stairs" and Britton asked what the stairs were for. I was explaining to them that that was how they would get down there to get the bodies out. I was trying to scare them but all I got was a resounding "COOL"! from Britton and Ethan didn't seem to care.

"Hey Ethan, look into my cannon"... Ah, brotherly love.

The boys could hardly stay awake between each place, they were so worn out...

St. Augustine is such a beautiful city!

We also went to the lighthouse. We could see it from every street and once I pointed it out to Ethan that was all we heard. "I want to got o the lighthouse"? "Can we go to the lighthouse"? "Are we going to the lighthouse"?...

Ethan wasn't very happy though once we found out that he wasn't quite tall enough to go to the top of the lighthouse.

Daddy and Britton went up with aunt Mary and we waited at the bottom with Grama.

Poor Ethan, he took it so hard. I think this was the first time it bothered him so much to have to be excluded. Usually he just shrugs it off, but he moped around for quite a while.

Finally we toured the museum and the boys (all 3 of them) learned how to tie different types of knots.

More to come...
