My beautiful niece Ava. She’s six and way too smart for her own good. While swimming in the gulf we saw some dude working out on the beach. After his workout, he broke out into a dance. Ava swam over to me and said, “Hey Aunt Kirsten, I hope that guy doesn’t capture me in his dance.” Oh the hilarity, who talks like that?
Ava and my daughter Lauren at Pine Island Sound on the 4th of July right before we shot fireworks over the water.
Pine Island Sunset on the 4th of July. Bugs were bad, seriously bad.
My dad’s bee hives. We went on a rescue mission to Little Gasparilla Island while I was there. The ferry ride was real nice. The bees weren’t. More on that later.
Lauren and Ava at Gracie’s Cup Cake Store at Bell Tower in Ft. Myers. My sister works here on ocassion. We got snacks, and they were really good.
Bag of sharks’ teeth and fossils that I found walking the beach at mom’s. That’s really all I like to do when I go there for a visit.
Missing the beach already. Until next year I guess.
