Walking With Papa

On Sunday morning, we wrapped up our quick St. Petersburg visit with a walk in Sawgrass Lake Park with my dad. Ellie and I had walked with him there before, but Eric had never been at all. We just spent a little time roaming the boardwalk, checking things out at the observation tower, and spotting alligators, snakes, birds and enormous spiders. It was a lovely way to spend the morning! (Enormous spiders notwithstanding.)

Holding Elie up towards the huge spider (FOR SCALE, not so it could eat her) because I am an awesome mom.

Now that she's finally getting a little bit of length to her hair, I can see it curling up in the humidity and I LOVE it.

This is a very typical Ellie face. Oh, that girl.

I love this smile! But also, stop growing up so fast, please.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
