Hiking Trails & Mermaid Mail

  The kids have been doing extra good at school lately, so daddy surprised them with their favorite local treat, Twisty Treat to be exact.

  Destiny went to the car and ate her slushy while we all waited 25 more minutes for our cones.  They must have had some techincal difficulties with the machines because we have NEVER waited that long!

  Nana came to town for a visit!  She flew in from Kansas to see her kids and all her grands here in sunny Florida.  We always enjoy when she comes.....

  We met her shuttle in a parking lot and took her to a nice family style dinner. She came bearing a comic paper wrapped gift for Tylan, a new Adventure in Odyssey disc, yay!!!

  They promptly got to reading!

  One of the reasons momma is here is because we all head to Leadership Training here in a bit, to learn more how to use our strengths, lead strong and have some fun with other oilers.

 One night is the Into the Deep Blue Sea party, so I've been doing some online bargain shopping in the meantime!

  Mermaid mail!!!!!

  I am sure I'll have loads of pics to share from there once we get back! :) I am so excited to go!​

   We live in horse country Florida, 2 hours from the nearest beach.  We love the sunshine, yet not too hot weather.  We love the tree covered roads and horses, southern mansions and the "farm" feel of the area.

  One of the newest additions to our town, is a paved walking and bike trail that goes on for MILES.

  One particularly nice and lazy afternoon, we decided to go walk it.  (We can't figure out a way to get all 6 bikes in our family car, so thats another project for another day) Walking it is!!!!

 We set off, and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

​ There was a cool old house, just off the main trail we went and check out..... SO COOL!

  Can you find all 4 Fergusons?  :)

  Well, we are headed to the Strawberry Festival, so I will write more again soon.  Hugs, T
