Florida 2024 Part One

We left behind Indiana for our annual trek to Florida during the last week of February. This of course involved a stop over with a continental breakfast on the way down.


Ike with the worlds tiniest pancake. The cool pancake machine ran out of batter and this is what they got!















We arrived to Lake Village on Saturday afternoon, the kids got right to taking a walk and throwing the football in the street.







Sunday morning we went to Venice so the boys could play Pokemon Go, there was a big event. We walked around for a couple of hours then hit the beach for a bit. 







After the beach we came back to swim for a little while before Dave made us dinner on the Blackstone. 










Dave cooked us up some delicious smash burgers!

Monday we got up and surprise! headed to the beach. Today we went to North Jetties. 
























After lunch, the fellas all went golfing at Lake Venice Golf Club.





After dinner I took the boys to the hot tub for a quick dip. 


















So many bike rides. 














We went to Caspersen Beach on Tuesday but I didn't take very many pictures! The boys played some football on the beach then we went to lunch at Darrell's Barbecue. So delicious. 



Ike had been eyeing a coconut tree down the street and Grandma Mary was happy to help Ike figure that out. 





Mission accomplished. It took him forever to crack that thing open but he really enjoyed it once he got it!



Wednesday we went back to jetties-it's the closest beach to their house and one of our favorites. 















This water was freezing but it was so hot I went in. Yikes it was cold!






Stop off for ice cream on our way to the drum circle. This is Sweet Melissa's Ice Cream Shop.  

 






















It was an absolutely beautiful night. The drum circle is very different, everyone brings their own drum and people just start going for it. And there's lots and lots of dancing.
