Visiting Ft. Lauderdale

Brooke and I decided to head to Ft. Lauderdale when we were done at Universal Orlando. We really enjoyed our stay (even though Daddy wasn't there). Thanks Nina and Poppi for letting us visit!!!

Brooke enjoying a meal and giving Mommy a cheesy grin in the process.

Brooke being silly while I was trying to take pictures after we arrived at Nina and Poppi's.

Visiting Great-Grandma and Great-Aunt Mary.

Brooke as we walk into Butterfly world with Great-Aunt Mary and Nina.

What a great picture of the 3 girls!

Nina and Brooke checking out butterflies.

They have some beautiful flowers at Butterfly world.

This blue butterfly was gorgeous.

Brooke and Nina checking out the cocoons where the butterflies hatch.

Aunt Mary's new tatoo...lol....we thought this butterfly was going to land on her cheek but it didn't. Sure looks like it in this picture!

Brooke enjoying a stroll around the exhibit.

What a happy girl she is!!!

This was such a beautiful flower. I think Nina bought one. I wanted too, but I can't plant it at my house since we are moving next month. :(

Nina feeding the parrots. I can't believe she's never been to butterfly world!!!!

Brooke actually got to touch the bird. They usually try to bite if you try to touch them.

The bird using his tongue to get the nectar out of the cup.

Nina feeding one of the birds.

Then another one showed up on her shoulder.

The bird bath.

You would think from the picture that she was crawling. She didn't start crawling until after our trip was over.

Brooke hanging out with Great-Aunt Mary while we played hand and foot.

Hanging out with her Poppi.

Bath time in Nina's tub. She only likes to stand now while bathing!!

Brooke cuddling with her Nina the night before we were headed out. This is a rare moment. She only likes to cuddle with her Mommy!
