This summer has been busy and full of fun and laughter! I can't believe it is already over and school has started again. And I also can't believe that I am a senior!! I had my last first day of school on August 22.
We have had tons of fun this summer. We were able to go on a family vacation (which we haven't done in forever!) We went to Palatka and stayed at a hotel by the river. What we didn't realize is that this was the season for blind mosquitoes. It was horrible! There were bugs everywhere! The whole hotel was screened in to keep the bugs out of the hallways. We definitely made some memories this family vacation.
This is one of my favorite pictures of us sisters! Love both of these girls!
For dinner we went to a seafood restaurant. It was really special because we don't go out to eat that often, and we were all together as a family too! I got the calm strips and the portions were huge! I was so stuffed when we were done!
After dinner we went letterboxing. This is something that we did when I was little and we were traveling on Deputation. So it was fun to see Silas, Callie, and Micah's expressions as we searched for the letterbox. We finally found it!
Then we went walking along the river and that is when Callie saw the ducks. She chased after them trying to catch one, while I stood at a safe distance away taking pictures! :) In case you don't know, I have a fear of anything that flies or has wings! When I was little we would go to feed the ducks and I would sit "on top" of the picnic table at a safe distance away.
It was so hot, we were really thankful that the hotel had a pool! We just had to try not to think about all the bugs that were on the bottom! :)
And what's a vacation without ice cream and a family game!!
Then next day we went to tour an old fort. It was pretty neat to hear the history of why it was there and what they were defending.
We also went to the beach that afternoon, but I didn't have enough room to put all those pictures on too! Haha! I will put those in my next post!
