Key West with G & G Steel

 Grandma and Grandpa Steel came to visit us a couple of weeks ago and we had so much fun! We went to the science museum, played tennis, went to Key West, and enjoyed every day we had with them.

 At the Museum we had to check out the gift shop to see if any of Grandpas display cases were there, and sure enough there was a couple of them. He had figured that they were ones he had made over 10 years ago! We love finding these all over the country!

One our way to Key West we stopped at Islamorada and went to Robbies. We had a delish lunch (the shrimp tacos were fabulous) and also fed the tarpon. This was a definite highlight for the boys.
 Eating lunch right on the water. Tanner was a little ornery here because he was hungry!

 These Tarpon were huge. As you will see from the video I was a little scared to feed them. As the fish jumped up to get the food I saw my life flash before my eyes!


 Beautiful sunset in Key West
 While in Key West we rented Kayaks, rode jet skis, and went snorkeling.

 Grandma and Tanner went out on the Kayaks first and were gone for quite sometime (they got a little lost) but had a great time!
They also had a fun pirate ship playground for the kids to play on.
Drew and the boys also went out on the Kayak
Mason, Drew, and I got to go out on a wave runner and had an absolute blast. 
To say Mason loved it was an understatement. Tanner on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it. He gets nervous trying new things.

Last, we headed to the beach and did some snorkeling. My camera went dead at this point so this was the only picture I got there, but the boys loved it and got to see lots of fish.



 We really did have such a great time! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the fun fun time! We love when you come to visit!

Great updates! Can't believe it's been a year either. I still miss KY! Looks like you guys are having so much fun. I think we need to come visit.
Ok-I watched that video of you feeding the fish at least 5 times and laughed harder each time. I miss you!
The boys are darling and it still kills me that I haven't met Hayden.

Where is that pirate ship playground? We have been to Key West so many times and I've never seen that! How fun! Also, I know I've seen the video of you feeding the tarpon before but Tyler and I just watched it two more times and were laughing so hard. I love it. We all need to take a trip down there together!
