September 2014 - Part 2

Sage was invited to a birthday party 

for a friend he met at homeschool co-op.

Scott and I tagged along.

Whipped Cream eating contest.  

Henry and I celebrated 11 years 

of marriage in September!  

We dropped the boys off at Henrys' parent's house for the day and the WHOLE NIGHT.  This was a huge deal for us all.

Our boys had never stayed all night somewhere, ANYwhere, without Henry or me.  

For lunch, we went to Salsa's Mexican Restaurant.

Food eating pic!

There's a restaurant that I love in Columbus called El Vaquero.  They have THE best veggie burritos.  

I ordered a veggie burrito at Salsa's hoping it would be like the one in Columbus.  Nope.  It was the weirdest Mexican veggie burrito I ever had...it had broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots in it.  Not the taste I was going for.  

After lunch, we went to the beach to just SIT.  

My only request for our anniversary was that we have a seafood dinner on the water.  Nothing fancy.  

Boat Parking in the air

Dinner on the water

Loved just sitting and watching the boats come and go.

My dinner of crab cakes, onion rings, and cole slaw. 

This is the restaurant we ate at.
Inlet Harbor

After dinner, we went to listen to some awesome music by some of Henry's friends.  (He went to school with them).  

Check them out...they are kinda a big thing.

Are Friends Electric

Humoring Scott for a pic.

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse

Henry and I visited this lighthouse before we were married. 

I climbed it to the top like a beast.  

This time, 15 years later, I could not get to the top. 

I got so sick - nauseous - from being hot, dizzy, and felt like I was going to pass out.  I've been claustiphobic for as long as I can remember, but the older I get, the worse it gets.  Man!  Getting old is rough!

The lighthouse grounds are lovely and well-kept!

I love how so much of the history is preserved.

Uniforms the keepers wore.

I get dizzy just looking at this picture.

Scott being brave.

Sage being brave.

Thank God for Henry.

He took the boys all the way to the top.

I had to turn around when I was only 

about 3 sets of stairs from the top.

Sage took a picture of Scott taking a picture of us.

11 years strong!

Scott doing school work.

We'll call this Anatomy class.

Ha!  Scott was checking out my 

metal fillings with the magnifying glass.  

LOVE this road!

September 2014 - Part 1

Our bike rack on the back of our RV

doubles as a drying rack.  

Sage requested I take his picture 

with Arthur at the library.  

We have become friends

with another family that lives

in our campground.  The man has 

a 'cross ministry' and has made and 

given us lovely wooden crosses.  

Cross Necklace

Just another rainy day...

that floods our site. 

We joined a homeschool co-op

since we were going to be in the

area for months.  They had a 

'Beach Kick-off Party' before the 

semester started.  

Scott doing his part to bury a person.

Sage found a nice, cozy spot to read.  

Selfie taken the night before co-op started.

First day of homeschool co-op!

Scott in his class playing a game outside.

Scott joined a soccer 'team'.

He loved it until he realized he wasn't

allowed to tackle the other kids.  

Scott at the doctor.

He got Swimmer's Ear.

Ouch!

I found a bi-monthly nature class 

taught by a naturalist.  

First class was titled, 'Hiker's Clues'.  

The nature class was for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling is alive and well in Florida!

It was a very hot day!  

Felt like we were in the desert.

ANT HILL!!

Well, I'll be.

Cactus grow in Florida.

I love homeschooling.

I learn something new everyday!

Nature class always involved an art/craft project.

This is a hiker that was decorated

by items from nature.  

A turtle's home.

They were HOT!

Inside the nature preserve.

They have neat hands-on activities 

and some live animals.  

But not that bear in the picture above.

He's no longer alive.  

I find so many adorable and hilarious 

selfies on my phone taken 

by Scott.  

Chore time!

Drying and putting away the silverware.

Went to the theater to see Dolphin Tale 2.

Homeschoolers all around the country

go to the theaters all on the same day to 

support family-friendly movies.  

Ha!  Looks like we were all alone.

At this point, we probably were 

because I have this little issue 

of getting to places WAY TOO 

early.  I believe if you are on time, 

then you are late.  For movies, 

I like to get there at least 20 minutes early.

Uh.  This movie we were probably at least

35 minutes early.  

Can't tell much from this picture, 

but this is me trying to be sneaky with

taking a picture.  Sage is in Chess Club

at the library playing chess with the man

in the red shirt.  That's what chess club is...

2 'older' gentleman come twice a week to 

the library and play chess (and teaches chess)

to whoever shows up.  

View from our front door

in the campground.

Games poolside at our campground.

Limbo.

You can get ice cream cones poolside

every day!  SO incredibly 

happy that it is safe ice

cream for Sage (Sage is allergic 

to peanuts and tree nuts).  

Hayride at the campground!

Pond at the campground.

Jack and Peter came to swim with us.

Aunt Michelle did too, but I didn't get 

a picture of her.  

I'll finish out September in another post.
