Easter In Naples with Lee Lee & Bill

This year we spent our first Easter in Naples. It was a great time since Lee Lee and Bill decided to come and stay with us for the holiday weekend. One of the best parts of the entire weekend was spending Saturday at Clam Pass and just sitting on the beach with the most perfect weather. We had a fun day on Easter Sunday celebrating with friends at the Vanover's Easter Egg hunt with about 100 kids. And, afterwards, we managed to squeak out a semi decent Easter lunch just before Lee Lee and Bill left for their flight.

Spring Break to Islamorada

We took a fun 3 day trip to Islamorada over spring break. It was an awesome vacation and I might even venture to call it one of my all time favorite trips. We stayed at the Amara Cay Resort and it was the perfect place for us to hang out and relax after fun filled days of jet skiing, paddle boarding, and eating out at fun restaurants. The kids had an incredible time and actually got along for almost the entire trip! On the way home we stopped at Shark Valley State Park for a quick, scenic walk. It was a cool place to see alligators and wildlife but one of us was not exactly in the mood. We will need to remember that Brooks does not enjoy walking, so we will need bikes for our next trip there.

The Snipes go Camping

In January, we took a fun trip with our usual crew to Caloosahatchee State Park, right up the road in Ft. Meyers. The weather was not forecasted to be that great. In fact, most people thought we were crazy when we told them we were going camping because it had been cold and extremely rainy all week. But, like most insane optimists, we took a chance and ended up having a fantastic time. The weather was actually perfect and the kids had an incredible time. It was definitely a trip that will hold memories!
