If you ask Adam what his favorite part of our trip to Florida was, he’ll tell you it was “rescuing animals in trouble” (like Diego, the main character in one of his favorite cartoons).

It was tough work, but thanks to a net and his starfish rescue-mobile he was able to save all the animals. It also helped that all the critters in distress were contained to Grandma and Grandpa’s pool.

Luke wasn’t too sure about the whole swimming pool thing at first. I sat on the edge with him for a while getting his toes (and very slowly the rest of him) wet so he could get used to it.

Then I passed him off to Dave and the two of them helped Adam with more rescue missions (it was a catch and release program, and those crazy animals needed a lot of rescuing).
