florida.

I was really missing my family over on the east coast, so I called my aunt one day and told her I'm coming to visit! & that's just what I did. we didn't do too much but it was nice just being in the same room as them. it's hard having family so far away. but I'm thankful for the chance go to Florida to see them.

made it.

the weather there is my favorite, sunny one minute then raining the next, it's wonderful.

I was missing the little boys I nanny. one of the nice things about today's technology.

I drove over to fort myers to visit another cousin for a few days.

sad to say goodbye.

in the middle of my stay my grandma (nonna) came to visit as well. it was a fun treat. 

I miss these sweet kids already. 

and my twin. (& my uncle who hates getting his picture taken.) I can't wait to go back. 

fourth of july

i hope you all had a great fourth! I know I did. i tagged along with my neighbors and some friends to lake mead this past weekend, my parents also showed up part way through our trip. there was a lot of seadoo riding, rock jumping, teasing, splashing, and sunshine. we lit fireworks, drank some beer, played a little corn hole, got some bruises from rough water. we took a couple razor rides, found a couple abandoned houseboats, ate some good food, and got a little too sun burnt. it was definitely a weekend for the books. I'm so thankful for the people I have in my life.

by the time the weekend was up, we were just a smidge worn out. ;)

ps sorry not sorry for always having an overload of pictures in my posts.
