to the marina!

Yesterday we spent the evening together at the “historic” downtown Ft. Pierce Marina. I love it down there during the evening- the low sun and breezes make for a nice trip. We got there around 6 and ate dinner/dessert at my favorite shop, Java Charlies!

Afterwards, we walked down to the ledge to watch the intracoastal waters. It felt SO good outside- I could have sat there for hours! There were people up there reading and talking with friends and family. The kids had fun throwing rocks and laying on the ledge looking for crabs and such.

Then, we walked down past the Tiki Bar restaurant and looked at the boats. One guy was really nice and let the kids and Uncle Marcus get a tour of his yacht… they had a lot of fun doing that!

remodeling, beach days, and bowling!

Hello family (visiting here right now and in Texas)!

There are some pictures I thought I would share some of the pictures I have taken!

Before I start, I just thought I would tell yall about the new button over there on the right hand side under “buy my photos.” I just thought one day that I would put my photos on this site that I have heard of. They pick the prices for you, and most of my photos were too small to be anything except for a greeting card (and some not even that so I couldn’t add them), but who knows who will find them.  I still need to add more.

And, I also have a new button on the right that you can subscribe to the blog by getting an e-mail when it is updated.  SO, I don’t have to e-mail you and you don’t have to keep checking even when I don’t update. =)

Ok, here we go!

First of all, me and Whitney “re-modeled” the room- we just needed a change, so we did! =) Here are some pictures of it:

I put a few of my photos (that fit the “garden” theme) in the mirror:

On Sunday, we went to the beach in Vero to let the kids go boogieboarding. It was a pretty day, but the seaweed had washed up to shore and was really gross. SO, when the kids were going out there, they were really grossed out! =) Here are LOTS of pictures for yall! If you want to download them (Uncle Marcus/Aunt Stella), you just right click them and click “Save image as.” Well, here you go! (Again, there is alot!):

The kids when they first went out there. They were so excited. When Noah saw the water, he said, “It is sooo pretty!” It was cute!

They got those boogie boards and ran right back out! They were hardly out of the water!

Seawood monster! He kept coming out of the water with seaweed all over his face and hair. =)

Then they found that the seaweed doesn’t have to be their enemy…

…and that was it! =)

Then last night we all had hamburgers at Nana and Grandad’s house. Today, while dad and Uncle Marcus went to the west coast fishing for tarpon, all of us (besides Nana and Grandad) went to Superplay down the street to go bowling. It was a lot of fun. Don’t ask who won… Okay, fine! It was me! =) hehe. Afterwards, the kids played a game of Laser Tag and then we went to Panera Bread to eat a yummy healthy meal! My favorite!!!

If y’all want to find out what happened with the fishing experience, well, they didn’t “catch” anything, per se, but dad almost caught a 150 pound tarpon but it broke off after a big fight… ALSO, a 15 foot hammerhead shark circled their boat! CREEPY! Those are the coolest sharks though!

Last thing! Here are a FEW photos I have taken and put up on flickr!

Anyway, tomorrow is a new day with new pictures!

Love yall!
