Daytona Beach

This family loves a beach trip.  Last year while at St. Augustine, we visited Daytona Beach for a day and our kids fell in love, so that's where we ended up this year.  We had a blast!  From food trucks to pizza bigger than our table to visiting relatives to Minion popsicles, this has to be one of our best beach trips yet!


Beautiful sunset!

Davis loved Uncle Bill and Aunt Martha's dog, and he wasn't even allergic to her!

Until next time...


Camp time!

Our kids love a good camp.  This year, we hit church camp, fishing camp, cheerleading camp, and Lego camp.  They all loved each and every one.  At the moment, Davis is attending Marching Band Camp at the high school and he absolutely loves it!  Mommy loves camps, too!  ;)


My handsome camper at church camp (that's not sweat, they had been swimming in a lake).


Love this picture, too.
