I flew "home" to my parents house to stay for a couple weeks before I get married! I flew in at like 3 pm on Friday and we drove to Florida at like 4 or 5 pm the same day! We stayed at Jason, Trina, and Zya's house. I was bummed that Aubrae wasn't there but we still had a great weekend.
They are so cute and just the nicest people!
First we went to Fort Pickens. It is the largest of four forts that were built to defend Pensacola Bay in Florida. So it's a Navy Fort. It's HUGE! It was built back in 1834 and went through many battles during the Civil War so I think it's amazing that it's still there!
After touring the Fort we went to the bay side of the beach! It was a red flag day which means that there was a strong under current so people were not supposed to swim in the Ocean on the gulf side. So we spent most of the day in the water on the bay side. We found hermit crabs, giant pelicans, and a sand dollar that was alive! We had a blast.
After we were all warn out from swimming we went to the gulf side to see the bigger waves and play on the better sand. Dad and the boys went and flew their kites. Us girls drew in the sand and put our feet in the water!
So cute that Joseph flew his kite like this! Funny boy.
On Sunday it was Easter! The Easter Bunny found us even in Florida! I got the cutest picnic set!! I'm not gonna put pictures up until I take Jake out on a picnic someday when it gets warm outside. But trust me, it's stinkin' cute! :) We went to Stake Conference with Jason and Trina. My family's home teacher, Brother Bluth, who is now Elder Bluth, was on his first assignment to give them a new stake president! So we got to see him there and hear him speak! It was way cool! After church we each found our plastic eggs and then we colored real eggs! I love Easter traditions, they are so fun!
On Monday we got to really sleep in and then we went to the navy base in Pensacola, Florida. We get to see the coolest things through our awesome connection, Jason! We went to the National Naval Aviation Museum! It was SOOOO COOL!! After that we stopped by the Pensacola Lighthouse. Lighthouses are so neat.
I just love Florida! I have so missed the sun!! Even though I am EXTREMELY sunburned it's better than the Rexburg white I was before!! :)
