happy 4th!





for the past 5 or 6 years, our 4th of july has involved going to small, americana towns such as lewiston, ut or snowflake, az and enjoying parades, rodeos, bbq picnics, etc. this year, however, we did things florida style (whatever that means...i haven't had a 4th here since highschool). since my parents bailed on the heat and humidity (and us:) and flew to ut, it was left to jenny leigh, kevin and me to do our own little bbq during the day. exciting, i know. kev and i then went with brooke and her family out to the beach in the late afternoon/evening time to catch some waves and fireworks. by the time the fireworks really got going, andee was asleep and leila was pouting because she wanted to do her own fireworks. needless to say, it was time to go. i think we actually saw the best fireworks from the car. oh well, happy 4th.












the florida trail

goodbye, phoenix!

with bitter-sweet emotions, kev and i just said good-bye to our dear family and friends in arizona and said hello to our other dear family and friends in florida. our new little world couldn't be more different than our last. its not better or worse...just different. we are excited to be here but we will truly miss our az clan.
