Summer adventures {adventure #1 Florida}

Here I am two weeks into summer and God has already blessed me with so many long lasting memories and adventures.One of these adventures was being able to go to florida on vacation as well as being able to see my dad graduate from seminary in Orlando. Here is a wave of pictures {all taken by Toots} from the trip. 

All packed up!

 We got up at three-fifteen and drove to the air port and this is me  at four-thirty in the morning staring up in space 
(even though it doesn't look like it Im super excited)

Sunrise from above the clouds... So pretty

one night at sunset my fam and I went down to the beach during low-tide and collected sea shells on a sandbar and watched the sun set

My brother, Toots, and I made a work of "modern art" and if I may say so it was pretty epic when it was finished

Columbia is a spanish/cuban restaurant on a little island it was a really fun experience.

In florida there was a French cafe that served crepes, espresso,juice, ect. Many of the workers didn't know much English so they spoke French I was in 7th heaven.

We drove to Orlando for my dad's graduation and the church where the ceremony done was so beautiful!

chalk board wall

We've been re-doing Toot's old room into a kids hang out room and part of that re-doing was painting a chalk board wall. The thought of a plain black wall can be kind of depressing but being in front  of a chalk board wall is SO inspiring!

 To prep the wall for drawing we have to rub chalk on it 

 so fun!

 If you can't tell from my red face I got a spectacular sunburn

 about 15 pieces of chalk later we were done prepping 

This reminds me of a patchwork quilt

 Almost ready for drawing!

 Toots drew this picture of her camera isn't she just...

TALENTED

 Just some of my doodles

Oh how I love ramona!
