Visiting Uncle Mark

 

Uncle Mark and Aunt Stephanie live in Pembroke Pines, Florida, which is somewhere in-between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. They have two cats, Polo and Sneakers, and lots of geckos in their front yard.  

Uncle Mark and Aunt Stephanie picked us up at the airport Friday night, and then we ordered pizza for dinner. Saturday we went to the beach, had some ice cream, and then came home to play Monopoly and watch TV. That evening we saw the Pokemon 2000 movie, and had chili dogs for dinner. On Sunday we went on an airboat ride and saw lots of alligators and wild birds, then that evening we watched the X-Men movie. (It was cool!) 

We left Uncle Mark's house on Monday morning and drove to Orlando. Then, on Thursday, we drove back to their house, and rested all afternoon by playing Star Wars Monopoly and watching The World Is Not Enough on Uncle Mark's really cool home theater system. That evening, Uncle Mark and Aunt Stephanie drove us to the airport for the flight home.

Alec and Ben say thanks for letting us stay at your house, Uncle Mark and Aunt Stephanie!

Dcp00276.jpg (68132 bytes) When we were on the airboat, we saw an alligator named Squirt, who was pretty tame. Dcp00271.jpg (64259 bytes) Alec and Ben also played a lot of Monopoly--both the regular and the Star Wars version.
Dcp00277.jpg (23659 bytes) Here's the pilot of the airboat feeding Squirt--he better count all his fingers afterwards!  Dcp00269.jpg (62715 bytes) Ben was feeling a little shy--I don't know why!
Dcp00273.jpg (35263 bytes) This is a crazy guy who wrestled alligators--and then fed them by hand! Dcp00270.jpg (57927 bytes) This is the spare bedroom where Alec and Ben slept--and fooled around!
