Fun in the South!!! post 1

We are in the sunny south!!!  It’s been nothing but lovely ever since we arrived here safe and sound!
We are settled in at our 'annual house' and yesterday we got to feel that white, grainy sand between our toes!!!  The kids loved it!!!  The sun was bright and warm.  The dose of that good sun was the perfect start to our tans.  We are very excited about the upcoming forecast for this week!  Lot’s of sunshine and warm temperatures!  (It seems so different to just step out the front door and not feel that bitter cold air and winter snow!  It’s a blessing!!!)
Ashlyn is enjoying “Florida” too but yesterday she said, “I want to see Florida.”  We are not sure what her little mind thought Florida was?  A person?  A thing?  We assured her that all she see’s right here is Florida!  She loves riding a little trike outside.  She really enjoyed the beach.  She said before we left, “I am going to build a snowman.”  We chuckled and quickly corrected her by saying, “You can build sand castles!!!”  J  She getting the feel of the south!  Wearing her favorite Dora flip flops are once again on her feet.
Our nephew Hunter is vacationing here with his parents nearby too!  We are going to have so much together!  Yesterday, we were on the beach together and he kept sticking his face in the sand and then stick out his tongue!  Why in the world would that taste or feel good???  He really didn’t seem to mind!
Ashlyn loving the beach and especially her sunglasses!!!
 Matthew dug a deep, deep hole in the sand the first day on the beach!  He too is enjoying his sunglasses!
 Here is Hunter with his sandy mouth.  Ugh!
 Ashlyn and Hunter got covered with sand by their daddy's!
 Hadassah and Hunter ...

We soaked up the sun again today!!!  We all made that transfer from 'mayonnaise skin' to 'sun kissed skin' today!  :) 

Our vacation is going well and the fresh fruits and foods that the state of Florida brings this time of year is awesome!!!  We are loving the fresh strawberries!  I need to buy some oranges and grapefruits yet!!!  We love those!!!

The south is warm!  It feels so good to be somewhere not so cold!  We are going to enjoy every single day of this vacation and hopefully by the time we get back home ... Spring will be right around the corner!!!  :)  (It's OK to wish, right?)
