Florida 2025

We had such a great trip to visit our favorite retirees this year! And bonus this year-Josh's parents rented a house too so we had double the family to see :)

We were able to hit the monthly carry-in again this year. We usually miss it because of the timing of our trip but we lined it up this year!

We made it to a sunset on the beach. It's just so beautiful.

Our favorite beach (Caspersen) was closed due to hurricane damage. But we did visit Venice, Nokomis, and the North Jetties this year. 

Venice Beach

Met up with Barry and Divana for Sharky's Snack Shack.  It was delicious! And you can't beat that view.

Jetties-it was very windy with huge waves this day.

Ice cream picture! Both boys are well past being taller than I am.

Josh and Dave played lots and lots of golf.

Ike and I took lots of bike rides and hung out at the pool while they were golfing. 

Penny drop was a hit with everybody.

Last day-it was beautiful! 

And finally, had to document one of our many Buc-ee's trips. We planned our stops around them!

 

January and February

I've been horrible about taking pictures lately so I don't have much to add for the beginning of the year! Here's just a snippet of what went on for us before we headed to Florida at the beginning of March.

We didn't get a ton of snow this year-just one really good one and lots of cold, dreary days.

My mom came up a couple times to visit over these months which was awesome!

Dave had several pep band games that we went to. It's so fun to hear him play the kit!

Dave and some of his friends made the news one evening.

The boys both had school dances that they attended. Seemed like they had a pretty good time!

Finally a little bit of sunshine!

We helped chaperone the school dance here on campus. That is always such a great event. Here's me and Theresa :)

I finished a paint by number of Tony and Ben's dogs. This was so fun to work on!

Josh's Uncle Bob passed away so the whole family came together to celebrate him.
