Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Normally we don't celebrate so big but we were supposed to be on a cruise so we purchased fun stuff to wear! Ha! 

Our "Not A Cruise" Florida Vacation Part 3

We decided to take a break from the pool and headed to the beach!! 

We had amazing weather and the girls had a blast playing in the sand all day. 

I love the beach, love the smell, the sounds, the amazing peace. 

But, damn...I HATE SAND. 

I'm still finding it. 

We had a great day until this...

These things were everywhere. Man-o-wars. 

Ava lost the fight and was stung on her right foot. 

It took her down for about an hour. But she recovered quickly and had no other reactions. 

Again we headed back to nap, shower and dinner. 

We went to the Cheesecake Factory so we dressed up a little. 

Funny story from dinner. 

We sat in a booth outside with John, the girls and myself on one side and my mom, Tracy and Emily on the other. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something fly on the table and land on Tracy's arm. I'm not sure who screamed first but I think it was me! Then Tracy screamed and whacked our visitor of her arm which landed in the middle of the table and it was a FROG!!! I screamed AGAIN and threw it off the table where it landed on a fence where we were able to snap this photo. 

It was so funny!!

Our "Not A Cruise" Florida Vacation Part 2

We spent our 2nd full day driving around and taking in the sights, becoming acclimated with the area. 

Walmart was right across the street so that helped! 

We needed to see the ocean so we drove down to Lauderdale By The Sea. 

We enjoyed snacks from Sloans, walked on the beach!

We stopped for a drink and ordered tropical guacamole that was amazing! 

I ordered a Rose' margarita that had little rose petals floating in it!! 

Back to the room for down time and then everyone showered to get ready for dinner. 

Addy was rocking this hand me down from Roz!!

Our "Not A Cruise" Florida Vacation! Part 1

We were booked to go on a Western Caribbean cruise last week. We knew it was iffy going into it because of the Coronavirus. As of the time we needed to leave, the cruise hadn't yet canceled. The week before us were currently cruising. So...off we went!

Things that make me happy...driving down the road and seeing Addy's little foot hanging in the back. 

About 11:30 that night we got the call that the cruise was canceled. 

We contemplated on what to do. We were about half way to Florida. 

What we knew...we needed a vacation. 

Everyone was so mentally drained.

We decided to still head to Florida. It was just a matter of where. 

Originally we thought Destin but the weather was supposed to be in the 60's and we wanted warmth! 

So...we looked at the AirBNB website and decided on a condo in Pompano 

Beach, FL. 

We snagged a great condo that was super clean, 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen! 

It had fantastic amenities and we only were able to enjoy for a short time. 

We were close to restaurants so we were able to walk to dinner a couple of nights!

Addy was really missing the cruise so she did a video tutorial on towel animals. 

God love her. 

Comet Cheer!!

Genoa's Varsity Cheer Squad made it to the state finals! 

It was very exciting! 

Amy's daughter, Ella, is a varsity cheerleader so we decided to make a little trip out of it. 

For 24 hours, I was just Sara. Not a mom or a wife. 

Took a photo with John's favorite coach! 

 And we got to day drink!! 

Genoa took 2nd place at State. This was before the performance and the squad was praying so sweet!

Congrats Ella!! We love you!

Weekend Fun!

We didn't have any big happenings over the weekend so we organized a playdate with our favs! 

Hot tun fun! 

Snuggles in bed!

We finished the weekend at a new restaurant that has gourmet shakes! 

Addy's shake was a vanilla shake with a cupcake, lollipop, cotton candy, chocolate coin, sour candy strip, and a popsicle!! 

Ava's was a peanut butter shake with a Nutty Bar, buckeyes, nutter butters and cherries! 

They were so good!!!
