First day of school!

This is a big year for the kids. Benny is in 4th grade, Lorelei is in 6th grade at the big junior high, Evan is a freshman in high school, and Avery is a senior! Where has the time gone?! I can't believe next year will be our last year with a kid in elementary school. Kyla starts her sophmore year at SFA next week but is already on campus training with the cross country team. Hoping for a great year for all of them!

30A Florida trip!

At the beginning of June we took a quick little trip to Florida and stayed at a friend's beach bungalow off the scenic highway 30A. The beach house was walking distance to the beach and had a community pool that we enjoyed. The highlight of the trip was definitely the beautiful emerald water and sugar white sand! So stunning and so different from what we are used to in Galveston. Dan and I loved to start each day with an early morning walk along the beach and end it with a sunset walk. On our last day we explored the cute little town of Seaside that was just 5 minutes from the beach house. The movie The Truman Show was filmed there. We loved looking at all the cute shops, eating lunch from the food trucks, and exploring the neighborhood. Hope we can come back next year to explore some more!

most of my photos were taken with my cell phone but i still enjoy lugging my big camera around every now and then

We loved our evening walks on the beach!
