Florida Part 2: 30A/Seaside

We spent our final week in Florida over Spring Break renting a house with Nick's sister and her family outside of Seaside.  I had never been to this part of Florida before, it was crazy how different it was!  No old people anywhere!  In fact I think the average age may have been 16.  I felt old. We enjoyed an awesome week at the beach, biking, eating delicious meals and relaxing with cousin Caleb.  As an added bonus, cousin Lily joined us for the first part of the trip before meeting up with her family.  We loved having her and spending time with our Atlanta relatives by the shore.

Our preferred method of transportation for the week

Easter 2017

Sometimes you tell your husband you are hosting an Easter party for 65 people, he orders a petting zoo.  While maybe not appreciated initially, said petting zoo was a big hit, as were the 500 Easter Eggs, brunch and 80 degree weather.

Last Day of School 2017

By all accounts Fisher and Gracie enjoyed fabulous years of school at Haisley Elementary and Ann Arbor Hills Child Development Center.  Unfortunately they will both be going to new schools next year.  Neither are super excited about this, however I am sure the transition will be harder on me than them.  Although I will definitely not miss the 45 min round trip drive to Gracie's school.  Fisher's favorite subject is science, while Gracie likes art and reading.  Mostly they just like hanging with their friends (Fisher), and picking out the craziest outfits to wear to school (Gracie).
