Longboat Key - July 4th!

We took our beautiful little daughter to Longboat Key for July 4th weekend and enjoyed every waking moment with her :) Gigi T & Peepaw were generous and spent the weekend with Kohlston and Kooba (thx;). Here are a ton of pictures from our fabulous vacation together (once you start to scroll down you'll see why it's taken me a few weeks to get these posted). We bumped into a professional photographer who snapped a quick family pic with our camera.
Kai & Mommy getting ready for lunch at our hotel on the beach.
Miss K standing next to this beautiful sail boat!
Kai was ready to run, skip and jump about! She LOVES the beach.
Mom chillin: FINALLY :)
Daddy & Kai building their 'promised' sandcastle! FUN!
Ariel took over!

Queen of the hill!
Back to the room, cleaned up and ready for a wonderful dinner: just the 3 of us! Mmmmm Seafood here we come!
Mommy & Daddy happy as two peas in a pod!
Back to the beach to play in the sand while the beautiful sun sets!
Mom & Vino + Kai & Sand :)
Relaxing with our beautiful Kai (Kai means Sea in Hawaiian)!
Gotta luv this pic!
This is the most beautiful pose! She had no idea we were taking a picture. Kai was mesmerized by the beautiful water :)
The sky was amazing!
Daddy/Daughter kiss :)
Simply beautiful!
The storm is rolling in!
So we headed to Mote Marina Aquarium and enjoyed the sharks, fish, dolphins, sting rays, manatees and much more!
Watch out Keeks!
Do you dare? Well, Daddy touched the sting rays while Mommy & Kailey watched :)
We thought these lily pads were so pretty!
Hello there buddy!
Mote was awesome! Glad we went :) We headed to lunch (it's still raining but we made the best of it). We watched all of the speed boats drive by on their way out to the boat race - pretty cool!
Tired, full and headed back to our hotel to hang out in the pool and at the beach!
Mommy/Daughter KISS :)
Daddy started digging this HUGE hole which I had so much fun playing in.
Mommy relaxing on the beach! Awwwww.....Well what do yah say we call it a day???? Maybe not for good but this girl needs a nap!
Out like a light (with pink and Ariel)!
Still snoozing!!
I'll wake up for Ben & Jerry's ICE CREAM! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream :) Kai loved that song and we sang it the whole way there - hah!
Back to the beach :)
My nap did we well because I'm SMILING again!

Daddy & Cerveza ;P

Dancing Queen!

One of my favorites!
Whoa! Where the heck did that come from?????
NO FEAR!


Well, maybe a little fear - lol!
Daddy's favorite pose! I'm almost too big :(
BEAUTY! It's wonderful to be with family :)
Time for fireworks on the beach!!! Kai did sparklers for the very first time!


Lovebugs!




Our last morning stroll on the beach to find shells (with a light sprinkle).
Dear Longboat Key - the KATZ FAMILY was here (and we'll be back very, very soon)!
