Outdoor Showering

I have an outdoor shower now and it is fabulous! I have lots of candles in it and lots of AVON bath products. There is good water pressure and plenty of hot water too! It is so big and roomy.

In The Garden

Last week, I took the girls and Adam out to my garden to help me water it. Tessa came with us. Adam helped me plant these seeds a few weeks ago. We have tomatoes, cantaloupe, peppers, lettuce, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, several different kinds of herbs and some perennials and bulbs. We saw my hummingbird feeding that day too. Spring is wonderful!

Rainy Day

One Rainy day we got out the hair twister I got the girls and twisted a lock of hair and put a bead in it. We were at the beach during spring break and it was storming outside and we had nothing better to do. I ordered this Conair hair twister from AVON. We are still practicing, this was our first try. Savannah was the only one who would let me do it. I let her pick out the color of bead and she loved being prissy.

St. Augustine

I went to St. Augustine and stayed at a hostel called The Pirate Haus (pictured), camped at Anastasia State Park, visited the lighthouse and toured the Fort there. I visited lots of shops, ate outdoors at a nice Italian restaurant, got a free spice package, free perfume sample, free shark's tooth necklace, and a free refrigerator magnet with the coupons I found. I drank from the fountain of youth. I biked all around Flaggler College. I ate gelato. I had a free pancake breakfast with homegrown ruby red grapefruit at the hostel and slept with strangers!

Easter 2009

We took Easter pictures at Stacey's house this year. The girls were wearing one of the dresses I got them for their birthday. The azaleas were blooming and we were all so pretty!

Spring Break 2009 at Panama City Beach

We went to Panama City Beach for Spring Break 2009 and stayed at a swanky condo right on the beach. We had 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and we were all able to stay comfortably. We had a nice balcony, lots of movie channels, wi-fi in the lobby, water park underneath the condo with swimming pools and hot tubs. We went to Pier Park to walk around the shopping center, to the movies, out to dinner and shopping at Wal-Mart. It was a fun trip. I bought a bad minton set for the children to play with and my kite from my last Spring Break in college (1999) and we kept busy. For the girls, I brought a hair twister machine to twist their hair with and put beads in it. I ate breakfast with my nieces and nephew and they slept with me. Adam enjoyed taking a bath in the huge tub in the master bedroom. I took my reading and sewing to keep busy when it rained or we weren't going out. We had a fun time and nobody wanted to leave.

First Flight

In January, I flew this plane from the Tallahassee airport to Dog Island. My
pilot was very experienced. It was just like driving a car except you can go up
and down. We had a picnic on the beach and I picked up shells. It was cold, but very sunny and a really nice day. I was glad I went. On the way back, the door opened and I thought I was going to fall out! I had so much fun and I would do it again. The plane was very small- a Cessna 150. As I was landing, Tessa called me and she whisked me off to the mall where I ate a big, fat Cinnabon and drank a smoothie. Then we went to Target and off to a Japanese restaurant where I ate lobster, shrimp and scallops. The cook prepared our food right in front of us. He was hilarious. There were some FSU students sitting next to us and they were doing "saki bombs". We had a nice time. It was a perfect day.
