father's day with grandpa

a few days before father's day we drove down to palm beach gardens to spend a few days with grandpa olson.  we all had a super time!

benjamin was a big fan of the pool.  he was ready to get in by 9:30 every morning. 

jason got in on some water action.  the kiddos loved it when he would squirt them with the water gun! 

one day we went to a loggerhead turtle rescue, but it was way too humid...so we instead went to a mall for lunch.   

this is lauren giving grandpa o. his father's day card.  behind her is "her" chair...the one with the towel.  she's such a little mess.  all the time. 

benjamin and lauren were trying to get a spider out of it's web here.  that task occupied the two for quite awhile. 

another day we drove down to the florida keys to see what was there.  we weren't too impressed, but did manage to get a few fun poses out of lauren and a dq malt on the drive home :)

she picked this flower at a little park in the keys, but was upset to see that it stopped growing after that...

next trip: chicago.  end of july!
