A Little Rest for the Weary!

There is a reason why I could never make money from having a blog.  I simply wouldn't be able to keep up with posting each and every day.  I have a hard enough time posting a few times a month.  Who wants to follow a blog where the person writing the posts only shares every couple of weeks?!  It's a good thing I only do this so I can print it out at the end of the year and have a hard copy photo album.  It's a really good thing I don't do this for money, or else we wouldn't have any milk in the house!

Anywho..

We've been crazy busy wrapping up the end of the semester with my teaching and finishing up our 1st semester projects, as well as the kids having (what felt like) a bazillion projects to do for their teachers. As for Craig, he's just busy everyday.  No rest for the weary!

Oh, except for the mini-vaca to Florida that we took at the beginning of the month!  It was an unexpected trip that we planned a few weeks prior to visiting my dad and Cheryl. And thanks to the two of them we had an absolute fabulous and relaxing time!

 Anxiously waiting to board the plane.  They hadn't been on one for over 5 years.  Apparently all of our other vacations were taken by car.

A great view of the ocean as we started to approach our destination!

While our time was short and sweet, we had:

 Lots of pool fun!

 

 

  

Tons of beachy fun!

The water wasn't quite warm enough this time of year.

 Hunting for sharks teeth

Just love that feeling of sand between the toes!

 

 A beachy Christmas tree

 

Oh, and we encountered this guy, who actually didn't run and hide when we got up close!

But most importantly, we had gobs of family fun!

 

 

Deckin' the halls for Grandpa and Cheryl

 

 Won't be long before she surpasses Joshua, too!

 Some serious teenage fun!

 Matt and Mika

Hangin' with the cousins

We were a bit bummed that our time was so short, but we had a great time none the less!

Thanks Grandpa and Cheryl!
