Oh my goodness the fun we have been having in Florida. Ok, so honestly, not just Florida, but Niceville, Florida. Yep you heard right, always makes me chuckle when I get to tell people where we are going exactly. So vacation aways makes for a fun time to capture memories but can you imagine how broken hearted I was to get here and realize my favorite and only lens I decided to bring with me decided to go capoot on me?!!! Oh, yep, it sure did. So I cied inside for a minute or two and then decided it was going to be vacation captured by iphone! ( I did manage to order a lens to rent while here that I should be getting today, halleluyah! In the meantime though, here are a few sneak peeks of our vacation so far and why my kids might not want to head back home:

Reasons why they might not want to come back:
playing in the creek/swamp in back of grandma’s and Pa’s house – making chocolate chp cookies with grandma and getting to munch on the chocolate while doing so – getting to go fully dressed into the ocean – being able to play in the puring rain and not worry about lightening – playing soccer in the front yard with no cars flying by – having snack breaks with Trinny the dog – visiting and riding grandma’s horse at the barn – fireworks in a small town, over the water, music blaring, whole town together, perfect – throwing sand balls out at the ocean – playing and being silly on the beach – goofy golf where their daddy played when little and still $1 a kid and $2.50 an adult – light night Jenga games – finding Five Guys burgers and fries out here – playing at the neighborhood pool everyday and meeting lots of other kids – taking the walk across the fun bridge to get to the pool – and staying up every night way past bedtime giggling until our bellys hurt!
. . . Now on the 4th of July we simply were going to stop in a parking lot so I could get a picture of the big beautiful American Flag flying high but who knew it would also lead to my kids being in a mondo beach ball looking like little hamsters. We saw it and I just had to let them play!
