Welcome to Jacksonville, FL
I love how easily Elias smiles and laughs!
Evan LOVES the water, until one of the waves knocked him over, then he didn't want anything to do with it anymore.
Sure he looks like an innocent little boy playing in the sand... but moments later he was throwing it at the camera-mom.
Lovely family shot of the Kaneyuki's on the beach, if I say so myself.
Elias drinks from a straw! What a talented little boy! I don't think Evan could do that till his was a lot older.
Mark built a sand car for Evan and Evan tried really hard to push it. With little sucess of course.
My sand turtle for turtle loving Evan.
Evan making friends at the beach. Evan helped the other little boy put sand in his bucket.
Throwing more sand. No Evan!
Evan loved Elias's Jumparoo, most likely cause he's never been in one. Evan you're a little too old for a jumparoo, just don't break it.
Diaper boys
Move over Evan, this is my close up!
*HUG*
Evan actually playing nice and shareing toys! I'm a proud mom.
St. Augustine's Alligator Farm
oooOOOOooo white alligator
White eyes too! Creepy.
That made me nervous seeing Evan standing on the stroller leaning over to see an alligator right below him.
Cuddlebuddies
Mark was so interested in the scaley patterns on alligators
"ducky!"
Hello cute cheeks!
Ugly bird that fell from the ugly tree.
Its one thing to see the Crocodile Hunter on TV get close to a crock, but it's totally freaky to see someone walk into an alligator pit and get them to do tricks in real life!
Alligator and bird sanctuary at the alligator farm
These birds are so unafraid of humans that they'll build their nests within arms reach from the walkway! Beautiful blue eggs too.
The garbled voice you hear in the beginning is not Evan, or Mark, but that's the call these birds make to each other. Imagine there are hundreds of birds here all making that noise! Its hillarious!
it's amazing to get so close to seeing flocks of these birds nesting
The birds like to nest here on the alligator farm, because the alligators below protect their nests from racoons or other preditors from getting to their eggs. pretty cool huh?

petting a snake
cute little monkey that was small enough to sit in the palm of your hand! like a hamster with a long tail!
close up of albino alligator. isn't it's skin so pretty?! It would make for one gorgeous handbag.
Evan making his dismount while the stroller was still in motion.
black candy cane
Evan really wanted Michelle to play ball with him even though she was busy feeding Elias.
I didn't realize this till I looked at the video afterwards, that Evan was trying to teach Elias to sign the word "bubble". At the time I thought Evan was trying to wipe Elias' nose like I do for Evan in the bath.
Mark was reading a book to Evan on the ground, and Evan got up to get a pillow so Michelle could read too. cute little boy.
Elias that's so gross!
Little boys are SO cute in overalls!
There's spanish moss growing on the trees everywhere. So cool, but kind of spooky lookin too. Evan showing off his all natural toupee.
Not sure why Evan put his sippy cup behind his head, maybe he got tired of holding it in his hands? He got upset at me when I tired to take it away too! silly boy!
T minus 30 seconds till Elias fell asleep.
French fries!
Modeling his french fry.
Goodbye Jacksonville!
