The Leakey Family

Family Day

2009-11-17T20:32:00.014-05:00

Sunday afternoon, we enjoyed family time by taking a walk around the neighborhood & hanging out at the park. The weather was so beautiful!

We had such a good day :)

Our Home

2009-11-13T20:17:00.009-05:00

I realized I'd never posted pics of our home, so here it is!!!

Our Grapefruit Tree!

Our Orange Tree!

A rose from our rose bush.

Our attempt to make it feel like fall :)

This house has truly been a blessing to us!

Special Family Time

2009-11-10T13:43:00.006-05:00

We were blessed to have Dan's parents come & visit for a week. It was such a special time. Anna & I hadn't seen them in a year & a half, and Dan had only seen them over a weekend in September when he went back to England to say goodbye to his Grandma. Anna absolutely loves her Nannie & Papa. I unfortunately got hardly any pics while they were here due to my camera acting up, so here are just a few. Enjoy!

Happy 29th Birthday Dan!!!

2009-11-10T13:40:00.002-05:00

Dan turned 29 years old this past Friday. It was extra special since his parents were here to celebrate with him!

Eating ice cream with Daddy!

2009-11-10T13:37:00.003-05:00

Here are the 2 loves of my life! How sweet is this pic. Anna sure loves her Daddy :)

Fall Party

2009-11-04T14:11:00.010-05:00

A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to a fall party at some good friends of ours. We decided to dress up with the Neverland theme: Dan was a pirate, I was an indian, & Anna went as Tinker Bell. We had so much fun spending time with friends. Thanks Clint & Kari!

Anna taking a break!

Anna & Austin- they are too cute!

The 2 Pirates of the Party-argh!

Anna's New Favorite Dress!

2009-10-09T07:05:00.010-04:00

Anna received her new favorite dress for her birthday from her cousin Amelia. This was Amelia's favorite dress, but can no longer fit it and the only way she was ok with getting rid of it was to send it to her cousin Anna in America! When Anna opened the dress, words cannot describe her excitement! I never imagined a 2 year old being so excited about a dress, but she absolutely was!!! So here are a few pics of her wearing her new favorite dress :)

Posing for the pic.

Look at that face!

Being silly :)

Sweet smile.

You can really see her beautiful blue eyes in this one!

I just think I have the most beautiful daughter in the world!

The Newest Member of the Family

2009-10-03T09:53:00.006-04:00

Welcome Biscuit! On Wednesday we officially adopted Biscuit into our family. She was being fostered by a British family in town who would have loved to have kept her for themselves but they already have 5 dogs so it was not much of an option for them. I'm not much of a dog person myself, but Dan has been wanting a dog for some time now. After meeting her, we both fell in love with her & decided to make her our first family dog. She's a very sweet 6 month old Australian Shepherd. She has one blue eye & one brown eye. She's very calm & well behaved, especially for a puppy. And surprisingly quiet!! Here are a few pics. Enjoy!!!

August 13, 2009- Anna's 2nd Birthday

2009-09-26T00:07:00.010-04:00

I can't believe my sweet, baby girl is 2! She is growing up so fast!! Anna is very energetic, loves to climb, read, & play with her kitty cat Smudge. She is talking so much now. Although we can't always understand what she's saying, she certainly does! But everyday I feel like she's getting clearer & clearer. One of her favorite show is The Backyardigans. We have a couple of the books & she can point & name every character all on her own.

Here are some pics from her special day.

Opening a present!

Her new favorite book Little Einsteins! She calls them Geins....so cute!

Playing with Mega Blocks from Grandma. Thanks Grandma!!

Cool new Tinker Bell cup.

Trying on her new shade ;)

Figuring out her new puzzle.

Birthday cake time!

She blew out the candles all on her own!

Anna had a great day!

Catching Up

2009-09-25T23:39:00.017-04:00

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged so I guess I have some catching up to do....so here we go! In July Anna & I took a trip to Ohio to visit family. So here are a few pics from our trip!

Visiting Uncle Brent & Aunt Mary's farm.

Playing with her Ohio friends Ethan & Jackson.

Playing at the park.

Birthday party for Anna & Aunt Mary!

We went to Rolling Ridge Farm. It was so much fun. We were able to see lots of different animals & take a wagon ride!

Moving!

2009-05-25T21:12:00.005-04:00

The time has finally come. We are officially moving this week! Can't wait. We are just so excited to get settled into our new home. After we get all settled we will be sure to post some pics of our new home :)

Just A Few Pics

2009-05-10T22:21:00.005-04:00

Just a few fun pics of my sweet Anna! She is growing up so fast, I can't seem to slow her down. She is talking so much now & definitely getting into her terrible two's :) But overall, she is a delight & I love being able to stay at home with her. What a blessing!

What You Can Do With A Kitty Bed!

2009-05-10T22:12:00.006-04:00

This past week I finally started packing as we are moving in just a couple of weeks! As I was going through stuff in our closet I came across Smudge's kitty bed. She hasn't used it since she was a kitten. Anna wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but then discovered that she can do all sorts :) I love when her little creative minds comes alive.

Dedication

2009-05-04T14:21:00.006-04:00

Sunday our church held their baby & child dedication. There were 11 families dedicating their kids! It was really special & it really made Dan & I realize just how important it is to raise your children in a godly home. It is our job to be their role models & to teach them about Jesus. Anna is such a blessing to us & we thank God every single days for our beautiful, healthy little girl.

Afternoon at the Animal Refuge

2009-05-04T14:10:00.012-04:00

Saturday afternoon we took a trip to the animal refuge at Pioneer Park. Anna & I have been there a few times now, but Dan has never been. They have various different animals. Here are a few pics we got. Enjoy!

Deer

Mommy & Anna

Ostrich

Daddy & Anna

A gator sunbathing!

Raccoon

Anna really checking him out!

You can't really see him, but there is a cougar inside the rock cave.

Anna being cute as usual :)

Happy Easter

2009-04-13T11:47:00.009-04:00

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a wonderful day to spend with there family & celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! We decided to go to Pioneer Park & attempt some family pics. Anna really didn't want to sit still or pose for the camera much, but this is what we ended up with. If it hadn't been so hot we may have spent a little more time trying, but that's ok.

Easter Card Pics

2009-04-11T13:51:00.004-04:00

Over the past couple of weeks, Anna made her first Easter cards for her grandparents. She really enjoyed coloring and putting stickers on the cards. I also wanted to include a couple pics & these are the ones they got. She is looking so grown up!

Bucket & Shovel

2009-04-11T13:42:00.006-04:00

Yesterday we decided to spend Good Friday at the beach. It was a beautiful day out, just a bit windy. Anna spend most of the day with her bucket & shovel. Who knew that would keep her so occupied!

Moving

2009-04-07T13:58:00.004-04:00

Dan and I have been looking to rent for a good few months now. Rentals are hard to come by and you just have to find them through word of mouth. And God has blessed us with this home that is the same cost as what we pay now, but it is much bigger and newer. We are just growing out of the house we live in now rapidly and it is time. We will be moving to Zolfo Springs which is 3 miles south of Wauchula, right across from the park that we like to go to. It has a much nicer yard and even the bonus of an orange & grapefruit tree!!! Although it's still only 2 bedroom, there is so much more room and storage. We feel so blessed that this has worked out and can't wait to get moved. Right now it is looking like it will be the end of May beginning of June. Just thought I'd share the good news.

Yet Another Beach Trip

2009-04-06T22:16:00.008-04:00

One Saturday in March we decided to make a trip to the beach for the afternoon. It was such a beautiful, warm day out that we just couldn't resist. The water was still a little cool for swimming but very nice for taking a walk with your feet in the water and looking for shells. It was a nice family outing. Anna loves the beach, although she absolutely did not want anything to do with walking on the sand. It was quite funny.

Coquina Beach

Ahhh....Crab! Only Dan would be brave enough to pick it up.

Not sure if Anna was as impressed the the crab as her daddy :)

It is so nice being only an hour away from the beach so we can just take a day and enjoy God's beautiful creation!

A New Praise!

2009-04-06T21:49:00.003-04:00

Today in the mail, Dan received a letter stating that he has officially been approved of being a lawful permanent resident of the United States of America! So he shall be expecting his new green card that will only require renewal every 10 years. We are so thankful to have this taken care of and having one less thing to worry about.

Anna's 1st Pigtail!

2009-03-19T20:42:00.006-04:00

A couple of weeks ago Anna wore her first pigtail! It makes her look so adorable and all grown up. Although it is quite a challenge to get it in, I've found that doing it while she's watching one of her favorite shows Sesame Street makes it much easier :)

Friends

2009-02-16T13:45:00.006-05:00

I was able to hang out with my very best friends while I was home. It was so good to see them & to hang out with them. It's few and far between that we all can get together, and I can't wait until we can do it again!

Lydia & Kendra

Me & Emily

Lydia, Me, Kendra, & Emily :)

Anna & Ethan

2009-02-16T13:41:00.006-05:00

While we were in Ohio, we had a chance to go visit Julia & Ethan. They just so happen to live just 2 streets over from my mom's house, so we went over one morning so Anna & Ethan could play. Thanks Julia for having us! We had such a good time. I only got a few pics. It was really hard getting the two of them together.

Fun at Grandma's!

2009-02-16T13:35:00.006-05:00

Hanging out with Grandpa & Grandma Elmer's

2009-02-16T13:29:00.007-05:00

Anna had a blast at Grandpa & Grandma Elmer's house!

On the Farm

2009-02-16T13:17:00.011-05:00

Anna loved going to see the cows at Uncle Brent & Aunt Mary's farm. Her favorite was seeing the new baby calf.

Playing in the snow!

2009-02-16T13:09:00.009-05:00

Anna & I took a 2 week trip to Ohio to visit family & friends January 29th- February 12th. We had a wonderful trip! And we were able to see some snow!! I wasn't sure how Anna would react to it, but she loved it! And she loved running around in all that white stuff. Here are a few pics of Anna playing in the snow. And doesn't she look sooo cute in her hat???

Dancing in Walmart

The Beach in December

2008-12-09T13:10:00.014-05:00

My cousin Daniel drove down from Ohio and stayed with us for a few days. He will be moving to Tampa at the first of the year to do an internship, so he came down to check out places to live. We really enjoyed having him stay and hang out with us. And we are looking forward to having some family living near us! So on Sunday after Anna woke up from her nap, we decided to drive to the beach. We made it in time for the sunset, which was absolutely gorgeous, but boy was it cold outside!!! Here some pics from our little outing to the beach.

Daddy & Anna

My cousin Daniel.

Mommy & Anna

Family Pic!

Some kind of sea life...

What a beautiful sunset and a reminder of God's beautiful creations!

Long Lost Monkey

2008-11-12T12:59:00.006-05:00

This was Dan's monkey that Anna found in her closet! We forgot all about him until one day he appeared. So now Anna has a new friend who's not much different in size :)

Monkey was giving Anna a kiss after she bonked her head. It was the only thing that would make it better.

Anna, monkey, & Daddy

Anna really likes giving him cuddles.

"I'm so glad I found this monkey! Now I just have to name him :)"

A Few Fun Pics

2008-11-12T12:55:00.006-05:00

An Afternoon at the Park

2008-11-12T12:36:00.014-05:00

It was such beautiful day yesterday so we decided to get out of the house and enjoy it at the park! Anna loved it!!! We couldn't hardly get her to slow down.

Anna on the run!

Anna loved the swing.

I love this one!

Daddy helping Anna down the slide.

Daddy and Anna checking out the ostrich.

My Sweet Girl

2008-11-09T14:09:00.004-05:00

This is my SWEET GIRL!!! Anna loves to climb in or on anything. What a gorgeous smile too :) I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy little girl!

Happy Birthday Dan!!

2008-11-09T14:03:00.003-05:00

Dan's 28th birthday was this past Thursday. I think he had a pretty good day. Anna and I drove out to the hangar to have lunch with him, and then we went out to the Celtic Crossing for dinner. Celtic Crossing is an Irish Pub, so it was like having dinner at a Pub at home for Dan! And the food was pretty tasty too.
Happy Birthday!!!

My Trip to Ohio

2008-11-02T21:13:00.022-05:00

Sorry it's taken me so long to post some pics from my trip to Ohio. I never got around to taking pics while I was there, but Dan at least got a few. As most of you know, my trip did not go as planned. While traveling down, I got sick and ended up seeing the doctor. In result, I ended up having my gall bladder removed while I was there. Although that's not how I wanted my trip to go, I felt much better for having it done and could not have asked for a better place to be. I was close to my family where I was able to have extra help, and I absolutely loved the hospital I was at as well. And I learned that God's timing is the best timing!

This was my view from my hospital room. This was a cold and rainy day, but the day before it was absolutely beautiful! You could see the many different colors of leaves in the sunlight.

Here I am leaving the hospital holding my lovely flowers that my friend Linda sent me. Thanks Linda!

Here are some cute poses of Anna on her trip to Ohio!

Good Morning!

I love breakfast :)

"Thanks Grandma for my new toy!"

Time with Grandparents!

Who can crawl faster?

Taking a walk!

Anna & Grandma

While we were there, Anna was able to go to one of her new friend Jackson's birthday party. Dan was able to take Anna, and they both had a really good time.

Swinging with Uncle Brent!

Anna made a new friend with Julia Fisher.

This is her husband Josh & her little boy Ethan.

Birthday boy Jackson & his mom Kerry Croghan.

And with his daddy Ben.

Birthday boy with his cake!

I think Anna had a good time.

I'm glad we were able to go, even though it may not have been how I hope to spend my time there. But I was able to spend time with family and friends! I'm thinking I'm just going to have to go again soon!

Gas Saver!

2008-11-02T21:03:00.003-05:00

In August, Dan had the opportunity to get a scooter to drive back and forth to work and to run around town. Although he may get a good few looks from those around, it has been totally worth it. We spend about $20 a month on gas. I think he looks pretty good on it myself :) For those who are wondering why he's wearing a coat in Florida, we've had a cooler week, so it is justifiable!

Bye-bye Daddy

2008-10-31T08:26:00.004-04:00

Every morning Anna gives her Daddy a kiss goodbye. As soon as she hears his scooter start up, she climbs up on the couch and looks out the window to watch her Daddy go bye-bye. It is sooo sweet. She loves her Daddy! Here's a pick of Anna watching out the window.

I will hopefully be posting pics of our Ohio trip soon!

First Steps

2008-10-01T11:02:00.002-04:00

Anna took her first steps last night! Just in time for Daddy to see before we go for 2 weeks in Ohio. I will try and get some pics of her walking and post them.

Ohio Visit

2008-10-01T10:56:00.004-04:00

Anna & I are headed to Ohio tomorrow! I am so excited for my visit to come. We have many plans of visiting with family & friends. Please pray that Anna will do well on the plane. She is very active, so sitting for 2 hours could be quite the challenge. The last time we flew to Ohio was December 2007 & Anna was just 4 months. She has changed so much since then. I will be sure to post pics of our trip when we return in 2 weeks. Thanks for your prayers.

Daddy & Anna

2008-09-28T09:49:00.003-04:00

Like father like daughter. I just thought this was really cute. Anna loves her daddy very much! And we can't forget about Smudge on the back of the chair :)

Mmmm....Spaghetti

2008-09-24T22:10:00.004-04:00

This girl loves her some spaghetti! I didn't realize how much she enjoyed it until tonight. She ate that stuff up. I love her spaghetti face.

The Simple Things

2008-09-24T22:03:00.007-04:00

Anna loves boxes! Whenever there's a box she's either in it or on it or pushing it around. I love that the simple things are what entertain her the most :)

Gaylord Palms

2008-09-21T22:33:00.030-04:00

About a month after Dan and I moved to Wauchula, we were invited to attend our church's annual marriage conference. We were thrilled to go and felt blessed to be able to go, but little did we know that we would become the grand prize winner of the event! We won a $300 gift certificate to the Gaylord Palms Hotel located in Orlando Florida! We finally had our chance to use it on Friday night. It was the first time we had Anna stay at someone's house overnight. But it was a much needed get-away, and we had a fabulous time!

Gaylord Palms has several different themed hotels inside, an atrium, and restaurants and shopping! So much to do and see. We had booked our room in the Emerald Bay as a second choice being that the Everglades was not available. But when we checked in, we were given a free upgrade to a suite in the Everglades!

The living area.

The dining area. The doorway goes to the bedroom & bathroom.

Here's the view from our balcony!

The Old Hickory Steakhouse, a fine dining restaurant where we had dinner Friday evening! It was delicious! Here's pics from dinner.

A stool for my purse!

The meal was a la carte and cooked to perfection! Dan and I have never really had dinner at a place this fancy before, but it was worth the experience and we have a great time together.

The next morning we had breakfast brought to our room!

After we had a delicious breakfast on our balcony we decided to take a full tour of the hotel and get some shots of the many spectacular things!

There are baby gators and turtles on the rock!

We had such an amazing time! If you ever have the opportunity to go and stay there, I highly recommend it. Thank you Darin & Jen for watching Anna. She had such a good time with you both :)

Smiles

2008-09-16T19:42:00.007-04:00

Anna's always so happy playing during the day.

Mommy & Anna :)

Update

2008-09-15T10:38:00.003-04:00

Well, Dan had a really good quick trip to Ohio. He was a groomsman in John Piper's wedding, which went really well. And he really enjoyed catching up with friends from Fresno Bible Church. Although it would have been nice for him to have longer, he was glad to have the time he did have.

This past Saturday I woke up in a lot of pain with bad indigestion, which I've had a handful of times in the past 2 years, but this time it didn't go away. I ended up going into the ER, because I could hardly move, eat, or drink anything. Turns out I had a stomach ulcer. They gave me some pretty strong meds to take that pain away, which I was very thankful for. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm glad to know that this is something I'm always going to have to be careful with. Not how I planned my weekend to go, but glad it happened then and not a more in-opportune time.

Dan is flying to Ohio

2008-09-05T09:34:00.003-04:00

Please keep Dan in your prayers today as he flies up to Ohio. His flight leaves at 10 AM out of Orlando, he then switches in Atlanta, and arrives in Columbus at 2:15 PM. Tomorrow afternoon Dan will be a groomsman in John Piper's wedding, which is why he's making the trip back. I know he's really looking forward to seeing everyone, and he hopes to make the best of his quick trip. Thank you for your prayers.

Downtown Disney

2008-09-04T23:05:00.013-04:00

We decided to go to Downtown Disney so Nathan & Anna could get a small glimpse of what Disney is like. An while we were there we met up with Ryan & Lydia Horsfall. They were vacationing in Florida so it was really nice being able to meet up for a nice visit. Here are a few of the pics I got before my camera's batteries died :(

Nathan & Anna

Anna not looking to happy about riding in the car.

Downtown Disney!!!

Anna & Sleeping Beauty

Me & Lydia

Captain Jack Sparrow?

Anna just hanging out for the ride.

"Look Mom, I'm Mini Mouse!"

We had a really good day over all. We didn't stay at Downtown Disney too long, it was getting very hot very quickly. And it was so nice catching up with Ryan & Lydia.

Nathan & Anna's Visit

2008-09-04T22:55:00.008-04:00

So I'm just now getting around to posting pics from Nathan & Anna's visit. I actually didn't get very many because I forgot the camera. But here are a few that I did get.

Uncle Nathan taking Anna for a swim!

Anna & Anna :)

Just 'hangin' around!

2008-08-29T15:40:00.003-04:00

We can tote Anna around anywhere! Just thought this was really cute :)

Anna & Maci Kate

2008-08-28T14:34:00.010-04:00

Tuesday afternoon Anna's playmate Maci Kate came over for a couple of hours. We had so much fun! So I tried to take lots of pictures, but it was very challenging :) So this is what I got.

Trying to get Anna & Maci Kate to both stay sitting and looking.

And surprisingly got a good one on the second try! They look so adorable on the little couch.

Anna is concentrating!

Maci Kate always has a sweet smile :)

Vroom!

They were both so good and played so well together. It was a good afternoon.

Neglecting the Blog

2008-08-20T15:59:00.004-04:00

I know I promised to post pics from when Nathan and Anna were here, and I will with the few that I got. I didn't get many pics in the end because I forgot my camera. What a bummer it was, but that's ok. We still had a wonderful time with them both. I'm so glad they were able to come and visit us :) And I promise to do a bit better with my blogging.

Nathan & Anna

2008-07-27T20:16:00.003-04:00

We're so excited to be having Dan's brother Nathan & his girlfriend Anna to come stay with us for 2 weeks. They leave early tomorrow morning & will arrive at 6 pm in Tampa. Please pray that they have safe travels tomorrow & that all their flights will be on time. I will be sure to post more pics from their stay. Thank you :)

Prayer Requests

2008-07-17T19:49:00.006-04:00

Please keep my family in your prayers. This morning I just found out that my cousin Collin was killed yesterday. Please pray for my Uncle Mike and Aunt Judy, his two sisters Nicole and Meghan, and his son Tyler. On top of that, my uncle Wayne is having surgery tomorrow. He came home from work early today do to a hernia. His wife Barb also goes to see her cancer doctor tomorrow. Please pray that everything is clear. She's been clear of cancer for about a year now. Thank you. And I will keep you posted as I know more.

Animal Refuge

2008-07-17T19:25:00.015-04:00

On Tuesday my friend Jame and I took Anna and her daughter Maci Kate to our local animal refuge. They just have a few animals there. It's fun and a cheap place to go that's close. Here are some of the animals that we saw.

African Tortoise

A mean looking Ostrich.

Bussard

Cougar

Two raccoons playing with each other.

Mommy and Anna

Jame and Maci Kate

Anna and Maci Kate :)

Red Fox

Three turtles. I thought it was cool how they are lined up!

Gator swimming towards us!!!

Can you see the two gators sun bathing??? They are both laying left of the tree.

We had fun! Even the babies enjoyed it.

4th of July Fun!

2008-07-05T22:29:00.021-04:00

Some friends of ours invited us out to their lakehouse on Lake June for the 4th of July. We had a lot of fun hanging out on the dock, riding wave runners, and tubing. Thanks for inviting us out Jame! Here are some pics of our 4th of July fun!

Mommy & Anna hanging out on the dock.

Sarah & Morgan floating on the raft.

Me & Jame

Me & Jame getting ready to go tubing :)

There we go!

Dan getting geared up for knee boarding.

Anna playing in the walker. Looking a little serious!

Anna & Morgan

Driving home.....I think Anna had a great day! And on our drive home we saw the most amazing sky!

We got to see the sunset with storm clouds. The streaks you see is rain. Isn't that amazing?

What a great view to end our day. It sure does remind you of how great God really is!!!

Cutie....

2008-07-02T12:15:00.005-04:00

I just thought this was really cute. I found her just chillin' out against the couch this morning. She always pulls herself up to the couch and walks along it, but she thought she'd just stop and relax for a bit :)

Little Monkey

2008-07-02T12:09:00.003-04:00

Anna has been working very hard to climb underneath her exersaucer onto the tray. Well.....she's finally achieved it! And I think she's very pleased with herself too :) We call her a little monkey because she is trying to climb on everything, and when she crawls she puts one foot forward.

Central Air

2008-07-02T12:04:00.003-04:00

Today our landlord is finally installing our central air! Praise the Lord!!! As you all know, Florida can get very hot and humid in the summer time, so air conditioning is very much needed. We have 3 A/C units in our house: one in Anna's room, one in our room, and one in the living/dining/kitchen. The A/C unit in the living area hasn't been working very well for awhile now, and the one in Anna's room is very loud although it doesn't seem to bother her much. So we are very thankful for this :)

Anna and her Daddy

2008-06-24T21:37:00.004-04:00

This is one of my favorites!

Here are a few pics of what Anna gets up to these days. She is just so darn cute! She's definitely a lot of fun.

What a little poser! She certainly knows what the camera is.

Anna has finally found the shoe rack and daily pulls all the shoes off.

I love this! I think she could be a Pampers model. What do you think?

The Keys

Here is the one of the beaches at Bahia Honda State Park, where we camped. What a beautiful beach! The water was so clear and warm. Anna and I had such a good time with my Dad and Step-Mom as well as their 2 friends Russ and Sue. Thanks guys for letting us tag along :) Only wish Dan was able to come along as well. We spent a lot of the time at the beach snorkeling. But we also made it down to Key West, the Southernmost Part of the Continental US. Only 90 miles from Cuba!!! Here are a few more pics of our trip.

Anna thinks she'd like to try snorkeling. That would impress her daddy :)

I'm getting very excited for my Dad and Step-Mom to finally arrive. They, along with a couple of their friends, are driving down from Ohio in a van pulling a camper. What a drive! They are expected to arrive sometime this afternoon and will be camping out at the Wauchula airport for the next few nights. Then they will be off to the Florida Keys, Bahia Honda State Park to be exact. It's suppose to the the second most beautiful beach in North America. Anna and I may be traveling along with them, but haven't decided officially yet. While they are in Wauchula, we will probably spend a day at the beach and see what else we might be able to get into. I will keep you all updated and will post pictures of our visit.
