Florida

 I've been meaning to post about what I consider an epic road trip to Jacksonville, Florida last summer to see Uncle Taylor play baseball for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.  Our first stop was the Washington D.C. temple and visitor's center.  It doesn't even look real in the background, but it is!
 This captures Grace's goodness. She is so good at observing and serving. Hoping she will always try helping her family and friends towards Christ.
 The big and beautiful waves in the Outer Banks of North Carolina blew us away. I'm glad we all survived!
 Grace cracked me up with her kite at the Jockey Ridge State Park Sand Dunes in Kitty Hawk, N.C. It almost looked like it was her pet. All she had to do was hold it there, there was so much wind keeping it up!

 It seems like wherever we go, the girls break out into a dance party. They even rewarded them with bumper stickers after utilizing the dance floor at this restaurant in OBX.
 I'd love a painting of this.
 A huge highlight was seeing cousins (Vivi and Bella!) that we hadn't seen for years. They played and swam and swam and swam.

 This girl is fearless.  She wants a pet so badly. I even considered a ball python since you only have to feed it every 11 days...This was at an Alligator Farm in Florida.
 Clara reminded me of a frog everytime she'd get in the pool.


 She is a riot!

 Swimming in with the waves at Amelia Island.
 Seeing Uncle Taylor play!!!
 On our way home we stopped at Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's house). It was so well done. We loved the gardens and history.
