Gorgeous beach!
Pier 60 playground
See those red cheeks? It was like eight zillion degrees. HOT!
There are pelicans everywhere!
Seriously... pelicans!
Out at the very very end of Pier 60
You can see the beach in the background.
So beautiful.
Sweaty and sunscreened LOL!
She LOVED this floaty...
We had to leave it there (no room).
The hotel had a gorgeous pool.
Splash!
That is Daddy love right there!
Lil' frog... yeah she keeps throwing herself in, coughs, then does it again! She was totally fine!!!
The hotel had a player piano which she was *fascinated* with.
Clapping for the piano!
On the boat heading to Caladesi Island.
Bella's intentional smile... still a bit goofy there LOL!
Mangrove Tangles
Not sure what kind of bird that is!
Bella taking pictures of herself!
A live whelk I found in the surf!!!!
Check it OUT!!!! Is that the coolest thing ever?!?
Well, I thought so! I got a TON of gorgeous shells and found many live ones, which of course were returned to the ocean.
Feeding goats at Lowry Park Zoo
Yes, her sunglasses are upside down!
A goat waits impatiently.
This elephant put on an amazing show for us.
I guess she was pretty hot because she was just playing in the water like crazy!
Check out the baby!!!
Awwww!
Still getting wet!
Hmmm the spray is not enough... I must now fully immerse myself in the water!
See the trunk sticking up for air?!? LOL!
It was INSANELY hot and sunny.
Yep, still in the water!
Feeding a giraffe!!!!
Very... slobbery!!!
I was tickled pink.
Couldn't stop staring at this 18 foot tall giraffe!
The head of this giraffe was bigger than both of us!
Look at the tongue!!!
Oh my gosh, I did not notice this before... Bella's HAND!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS!
A very serious hog.
Look at the ears!!!
Taking a break from the sun.
She LOVED the carousel.
Look at that face!
No surprise since she loved the one at OC last year!
Yep, she went on it three times...
Once with me...
Twice with Daddy...
And had a huge tantrum when we left!
So to make up for it, we went to go see manatees!
We're looking right at one, right where the flash is.
See?
Bella taking pictures of Daddy making faces!
Oh my gosh that fish looks possessed!
A manatee lying on the tank floor, right in front of her.
She was worried about it!!!!
We had to try to see more dolphins!
So excited!
There were 3 dolphins right behind us
This is on the bay (Tampa Bay) not the ocean
Oh there it is!
Babywearing on a boat!!!
She was exhausted, hot, and upset.
Precious angel!
Zonked out!
Low tide!
About to head home. *sigh*
Bella took a picture of Daddy driving!
