In mid-August we drove down to West Palm Beach to see Keith & Hannah who had flown in for a wedding!
We enjoyed our time together at the hotel with the pool, and ventured out to the beach. It was a VERY quick trip (like 24 hours), but it was well worth it. McKenna LOVES her Uncle Keef and Aunt HaHa.
It's super nice to find fun activities to do INDOORS! It's SO HOT through out the summer, it's almost just unbearable to be outside if you are not in a pool. A new place opened up close to our house and we checked it out. "Big Air" is a huge room FULL of fun inflatables. McK was a bit timid at first, but once she saw how much fun Daddy & Mommy were having, she joined right in.
She was exhausted and ASKING to take her afternoon nap!
Pop & Gigi got McKenna this sand/water table for her birthday. We used it only with the water and it was fabulous on those hot, steamy days. Time with friends is always a plus. Josh & Brielle are some of McKenna's best buds.
We also ventured down town a bit this summer. We took in some "culture" at the Cummer Art Museum. The gardens were beautiful and it backed up to the St. Johns River.
Lots of Artsy fun!
McK's favorites were the "noodle art" and these other 2 crazy things with Daddy. There was a camera taking their picture as they were a part of the "art" :)
Time with Ezekiel is always entertaining! Ez and McK are besties! We got to watch Ezekiel one evening while Lauren and Mark went out. We decided we'll use these pictures for their wedding slide show one day! HA!
Dave had to work at the fire house on the 4th of July, but we were able to spend it with friends. We had a cookout at the Baughman's and then enjoyed the fireworks at the beach! We ended up seeing Dave at the firehouse on our way home, which was an added bonus!
Going to the Jacksonville Zoo was oh-so-fun! It was a PERFECT day to go! The big kids had all returned to school, it was overcast, and there was a major detour that probably led people to give up and go home! The first stop was the train ride, complete with juice boxes. It was a perfect way to see some animals and head to the water park!
A perfect way to stay cool!
The goats were definitely a highlight of the day! All 3 kids loved them. I think they could have stayed long if Vanessa and I weren't ready for lunch :) Although Summer was so fun with weekly trips to the beach and pool, I am super ready for Fall weather. I look forward to having McKenna outside in her bikes, toys, cars, swing, side walk chalk, etc and not sweating to death! Yup...cooler times are a'comin' and we will welcome them with open arms! So long Summer...see ya next year!
