sick

i thought we were on the mend, but this is her worst day.  we are sick and tired of being sick and tired!

back home!

such a cool view of the city as we land back at home after a sickie mid winter break

early celebration

celebrating an early birthday with mimi and papa in florida!

pool time

the kids have been sick with the flu all of mid winter break in florida.  we didn't get to use the pool as much as we hoped, but we are making the most of our last day and the warm weather.

sickie

i thought we were in the clear, but the flu bug got the kids.  no fun being sick on vacation.

gatorland

we thoroughly enjoyed our day at gatorland, worth the long drive!

soft serve

our favorite florida treat!  we go here almost every day!

sunshine

one thing i have learned living in WA is that february is still very much winter and not the start of spring.  but you have me fooled today, we are loving the warm and sunny weather!

shakers

it's been a while since i have been thrifting and i found these two pieces that got me very excited!  

RIP dino
