Team Raptor!: To the South! Florida Edition

After playing in Georgia for a day and a half, we headed down to Florida to see some of Laura's family.

Atlanta, GA to Sunrise, FL was the longest drive of our trip. About 10 hours.

Thanks, Aunt Andrea for letting us stay with you!

Thanks, Uncle Mike, for letting us stay with you!

Laura's cousins enjoyed playing with Troy's hair. He wore bows and braids in his hair more than once.

We watched Bryce wrestle with Athena.

Bryce also brought out the snake to play with, and Grandma was delighted to wear it around her neck.

We saw Aunt Colleen briefly.

And met Aunt Colleen's granddaughter briefly (Keira [spelling?] is the smallest one). Aryana and Grandma were hanging out, too. (Sorry I cut your head off in this pic, Gram!)

The kids (Aryana, Allisyn and Brayden in this picture) played with the dog. You can almost hear Athena sighing in this picture.

But Athena is such a good sport, she'll go along with just about anything the kids do to her. Here she is wearing a wig.

We also explored Miami area... It wasn't too far, about an hour away from the family's house.

Laura's biggest regret of the trip was not wearing or bringing her swim suit when we explored Miami. The beach was so inviting.. and we were wearing too many clothes! It was 100 degree (F) out, and probably 100% humidity... hence the gallon of water Laura lugged around. The smile in this picture was before Laura realized she couldn't go swimming (nudity is frowned upon in public).

For some reason, Troy looks like he's standing in front of a backdrop. Nope. The beach really was behind him.

Not really sure what this is about, but Laura thought it was funny, so she took a picture as we drove past.

We found some lizards.

We had some Cuban cafe food. (Troy's)

Their restroom spelled "toilet" wrong.

Troy took this video while we were driving Miami Beach.

And, of course, Troy being the baseball aficionado that he is, we went to the Marlins stadium.
