FLORIDA

So most of you already know I'm way into crocs.
I blame it on Steve (insert way sad sigh here), oh Steve, why did you have to go?!? I still get emotional about it. Anyway, we went on the ultimate air boat ride on the church ranch in Florida two weeks ago. Chalk it up to the Ambien... Meg and I flew out on the red eye to join my mom and dad in Orlando. The best part of the trip was the airboat ride and touring the ranch. There really are gators EVERYWHERE! We must have seen hundreds. We even saw one in a swimming hole for kids. It was amazing. We would zip around the swamp on the airboat and head strait for these 11 footers. Then, they would swoosh straight into the water and we'd drive right over them. I really did feel like an Irwin. Never mind the fact that I had vicious, violent night mirrors of my dad getting eaten alive by alligators at Lake Powell the whole next week.





We also went to EPCOT and this amazing Animal Kingdom place where we went on a real safari. It was great getting away from work and stress for a while. Let me not forget to mention the chocolate chip cookie thing with coconut frosting in Germany. That sucker is solely responsibly for me having to wear a swim suit with a skirt attached in Hawaii next week.


Last week was also one of my two favorite events in SGU: The Parade of Homes. If you missed it, you missed out! This year was awesome. I live for the parade of homes (isn't this the ultimate playroom?). It was one of only 2 times I ever got homesick when we lived in NYC. I'll also leave a prime pick of Meg going to the prom. She looked so cute. Can you believe my grading is done so I can finally blog? I guess this is what it's like for normal teachers (aka- I didn't assign end of quarter essays this time 'round).
