Roland and Mary's neighbors let us pick some fruit from their trees. Hannah and Ellie thought it was so much fun to pick oranges, grapefruit, and lemons from their trees.
What a big load!
Zach even had fun!
Greg lifting Ellie into the tree to pick an orange.
Hannah loved climbing to the top of the ladder to pick some fruit!
Zach, Ellie, and Hannah with their harvest.
After eating several oranges, we decided to juice the rest of our fruit. Hannah was such a good helper!
Ellie and Hannah watching the juice come out...Ellie was quite amazed by the process!
Hannah and Ellie loved watching the flamingos!
We had a little spare time on Saturday morning before we needed to be to Holden's baseball game, so we decided to take the kids to the beach. They had never seen the ocean before, and they were quite excited!
Hannah liked getting her feet wet, but Ellie was a little too scared...she was quite content to keep her distance!
Greg tried to get Ellie to touch the water. I think the look on her face says it all!
Zach actually LOVED putting his feet in the ocean!
Greg sat down with the kids to help them look for shells. I think that was their favorite thing to do at the beach!
After a few rides and games, the kids got to make their own slushies!
That's a big slushie for such a little girl!!!
Here is Alayna with her blue teeth. The kids thought it was so funny!
Poor Zach didn't get to have a slushie, but he seemed to be quite entertained by all of the giggling!
This is Hannah and Ellie in front of a little palm tree. When we first got to Florida, Hannah was convinced that they were "corn trees." I thought that was pretty creative! (Notice that the trunk of the tree looks like it has ears of corn coming out of it.)
We had so much fun at Rainbow Springs that we decided to bring Greg back later in the week. The girls had fun showing Daddy all of the fun things they had discovered earlier in the week. They were great "tour guides!"
The finished products! I thought they both looked so grown up!
Hannah and Grandma counting.
After they found eachother, the raced to base as fast as they could. I just love these pictures!
Zach just loves to watch all of the action!
Hannah and Ellie love to sit in Grandpa's chair.
Blake LOVED blowing out his candles! I think he actually blew them out three or four times! 
Blake eating his birthday cake.
Hannah and Ellie love everything about birthday parties...especially the birthday cake!
Zach didn't get to try any cake, but he didn't seem to mind.
Boaz wasn't quite sure what to think about his cake. He sat with his hand in his cake for a long time before he tried to eat it. I think he must have liked the way it felt on his hands.
Boaz got a ball popper for his birthday, and all of the kids had a blast playing with it. It was so much fun to see all of the cousins playing together! I can just imagine all of the fun they will have as they grow up together!
