Exploring Florida

Well Careful this is going to be a bit of a long post so buckle in for awhile. Stephen and I have tried to find fun (mostly free) things to do in Florida and near us.  So we have found this amazing  area where you can walk right next to the ocean along a paved path that has a park off from that with trees and grass and altogether it is beautiful!  It is one of the places on the earth that I consider to be perfect.  They even have twinkle lights in the trees to add to the magic of it all.  So on Sundays after church Stephen and I often will go and walk along the path with the girls and take in the ocean, boats and beautiful scenery.  I know it sounds a little strange but I really love it and the weeks we don't go I miss it.  I don't know if it is being near the ocean and watching the sun set or what but it makes me feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful world and to live only 30 minutes away from such awe inspiring sights.  So it may not sound like much and I am sure the pictures won't do it justice but it is my little piece of heaven!

Here is my Annie just being beautiful!

This is the awesome bridge that we drive over on our way to our spot.  I love the look of this bridge.  Katie was sleeping in the car and we woke her up to be in this picture which explains her lack of smile!

This is the beginning of our walk this tree is so neat.  I have never really seen a tree like this before.  It has many different roots and yet it is all  intertwined and grows together.

Katie is literally playing in between the different parts of the tree. It is neat but I don't think the pictures do it justice.  You should just come on down and visit us and see it in person!

Again My happy Annie in the stroller

One of the cheaper boats on the water! hehehe Stephen said, "Oh look our boat!" and Katie thought he was serious and wanted to immediately go check it out! Now every time we go we have to explain to her that she can not run on to the boat because daddy was joking we don't own any boat to which she then asks if we own even the little boat!

Katie taking time to smell the flowers.  I promise that I do my daughters hair but on this particular day it had already fallen out and I didn't take the time to fix it...go ahead and judge!

Watching the sunset

So beautiful!

Annie enjoying the sunset

Katie showing me something she found I just love this picture of her darling face

there is a pier that you can walk around and this is the view from the roof

The pier that I took the picture from such a neat looking building and the building changes colors!

An attempt of taking a picture at the twinkle lights but it is incredibly blurry...I need to figure out my camera more but it gives you an idea of some of the magic!

So this is my most favorite place we have found and I hope you enjoyed it too! Although I must say that to really enjoy it you have to come and see it yourself! Okay thanks for reading!
