Family

I'm still posting about our vacation because yes, it was just that good!


After staying in Orlando for a few days we drove over to Bradenton and visited my Aunt and Uncle. They have a beautiful house on the Manatee River. It's so relaxing and peaceful with a ton of wildlife from alligators in their backyard to a red fox who has made a home near their barn.

View from the back of the house on the river. 

One early morning we took a boat ride on the river and saw a manatee in the water and some deer in the woods but weren't quick enough with the camera to get any pictures. We did get a few pictures though of this little wild guy!

The boat ride wore him out! It was during his morning nap by the end of the ride.
We stayed in our pj's one day until noon and then went and shopped at the outlets since it was a cloudy day. I found some of the cutest things for P for the Fall and Winter.
The dog, Grace, was even lazy with us!

My Nana Bess drove over from Tampa and stayed a few days. baby P was loving her and I'm pretty sure she was lovin' him too! 
We spent a lot of time in their pool. It was awesome to have the pool all to ourselves!
My cousin and his wife came down from GA and they have two of the sweetest most beautiful girls! It was so nice to see them and catch up!

The girls with their Aunt Tiffany who is my cousin. She hasn't changed a bit or aged at all! I need her secrets!

And in normal Park fashion we left with a surprise! My Aunt bid on this camel at an a charity event and guess who ended up with it...baby P!
Graysen really didn't love that he couldn't see out of the back window but it was hilarious! I ended up sitting in the back so the camel rode the whole way home as Graysen's co-pilot! He got some funny stares and honks on the 9 hour drive home. ConCon the camel is in the playroom now and she scares me every single time I walk in the room!
