Venice!

 Where do I even begin... Venice is amazing!!!!!  It's been at the top of my wish list for vacations for a very long time and it did not disappoint!  It was so magical walking around the city.

 The sun was really bright, I left my shades at the hotel.

 We had dinner right on the Grand Canal.  It was lovely.  And quite delicious.

 Every corner we turned was another breath-taking sight.  

I love to see this one's creativity and imagination.  He never does things the "normal" way.  I love him.

Carter is normally such a clean eater, always has been.  We got a good laugh out of his messy face because it's so rare to see him like that!

 Rooftop balcony

Our first night there it started raining on us.  It felt so good!  It cooled us right off and the kids had a blast splashing through the puddles.  Maybe a little too much fun, we got several "Mama Mia!"s from innocent victims of splashes.  Haha!  And sorry....

 Dennison was tickling them trying to get them to smile, haha!  We're on top of the Rialto Bridge.

St Marks Square at night.  Very pretty.

 I'm pretty sure I had to bribe them to get them all to stand here and look at the camera for me.  Why is that so hard for kids to do?!  Don't they know how cute they are??

We didn't have enough room in our vehicle for strollers so we ended up carrying at least one child at all times.

 Shane and Aunt Ellyse.  We had a blast with them!

 I love this picture of the gondola rower pushing off the wall.

Narrow passageway anyone?

We got lost the second day!  All that walking and we ended up in the furthest point from our destination.  Oh man.  We took the water bus back since we didn't have enough time to walk.  It was nice and relaxing to take in the city one last time from the water.
