Saturday July 9, 2011 - Daddy's Birthday!
We started the day with a free breakfast for Daddy at one of his favorite restaurants - First Watch.  Then, we headed to the Gulf coast to visit our friends Rich and Kathy Cirincione in Madeira Beach.

Our fabulous hosts and dear friends, Kathy and Rich

...and their beloved, wonderful dog, Hannah who received LOTS of loving from the kids.

Kira's favorite activity was drawing Mr. Cirincione's birds.
She would draw them and then he would help her label their parts.
What a fantastic science lesson!
