Avocado Ice Cream!

My kids and I love chocolate avocado pudding. I can't wait to add this to our dessert list.

Avocado ice cream is a total game changer!

I think it's time to start again.

This morning while helping McKenna with a homework assignment (hopefully the last one of this school year. Yay! OMG, she's almost a 1st grader.),  I was scrolling back through my posts to find a picture of her and Monkey. It was so much fun to go back through these posts, and be reminded of memories/events I'd forgotten about.  I realized that I need to start posting again. I want to be able to have these little walks down memory lane in years to come as well.  Right now, my Facebook account is the photo album of my life.  Haha!  I'm grateful for that because it reaches so many family and friends, but I miss his more personalized format. So, here goes... Let's see if I can squeeze one more daily task into my already too full schedule.  Totally doable, right?

Where do I even start?!  Wow.  How about a little year-in-review.  Consider this like your Christmas card... in May. This may have to span over a few posts.

With this same beach trip fast approaching for this summer let's start with last summer (2014) where we spent 6+ weeks in Satellite Beach at Mema's house.  It was awesome and we're so excited to be heading back in just a few weeks!

The day we arrived.  We had to make a visit to the beach on Day 1.

Daddy came to visit for a week while we were there.

A little drama on our afternoon walk.  She was "so thirsty!"

Daddy & Seamus going for a walk.

Whatcha doin', Daddy?

Mema has a park & library within walking distance of the house.

Off to dinner!

My litte fishy.

Fishy #2.

Breakfast at a local diner. 

Of course, we had to take a stroll to the beach after breakfast.

Mema and her grandbabies.

We forgot to bring towels to clean off after our walk on the beach, so the kids for to ride home in their underwear... with the top down.

So much fun in Mema's pool!

We got to go visit some friends in Cape Canaveral.

Visiting with April & Marina in Cape Canaveral. This beach was awesome.

We built a fort in Mema's living room.

Fun in the fort.

They even slept in the fort for the last week we were there.

This picture cracks me up.  Doesn't McKenna look like a tiny little Oompa Loompa sized mini-me?!

Mmmm... strawberry shortcake.

Beach naps. :-)

I can't wait to sit outside for more of these awesome storms.

You didn't think you were going to get to relax, did you, Uncle Sean?

Get him!

Haha!  That ocean air just gets ya every time.

Before & After.

Pre-flight snack on our trip home,

Thanks for a great summer, Satellite Beach. See ya next year.

There's lots to recap from this past year.  It's been a whirlwind, full of lost of ups and downs. More to come.
