Tortuga Weekend

 We had one heck of a busy weekend with Leah in town.  We kicked off our Friday with a couple of errands before heading down to West Palm to pick up Leah from the airport.  One of those errands included a stop at the pet store...


...gotta love Petco and their little shopping carts.  Shopping is fun for everyone there ;-) 

Our Friday evening entertainment included some jumping on the trampoline...

...a break for dinner and then more fun outside with a ride to feed the "chicken duck" our leftover bread.  We're getting more and more adventurous with our little friend :-)...


It's always fun to have extra company along for our adventures... 


 Daddy even helped Colton with his off-roading skills... 


Before we hit the road for Fort Lauderdale and the fun that is the Tortuga Music Festival, we swung by Lowe's to build a recycling truck...




Cotlon decided to wear his goggles this time...safety first!!


The rest of my weekend was spent on the beach in Fort Lauderdale with Leah at the Tortuga Music Festival.  This was pretty much my view all weekend...


...lots of dancing, lots of country music, lots of standing (11 hours straight on Sunday), lots of waiting for shows to start, lots of sunshine on Saturday and lots of rain on Sunday, lots of other people drinking beer (I abstained since I had to drive home), etc.   

My favorite shot of the weekend was this one of Chase Rice singing with his baby girl strapped to him in a baby carrier with headphones on to protect her ears...


Some of my favorites were Sheryl Crow, Dierks Bentley, and Train, and Eric Pasley, Cole Swindell, and Billy Currington.  The most entertaining act, by far, was Luke Bryan....


This is my Sunday night, post-festival, I survived Tortuga with my die-hard country music fan sister Leah face...


...it was fun, and exhausting :-) to spend the weekend with her.  

I came home to this lovely gift from my Colton...


It was nice to know I was missed since I only saw them each day for breakfast.  I'm pretty sure they had fun with their guy's weekend....especially their trip to Bass Pro Shop and a dinosaur birthday party.

Yesterday was back to reality, a tired reality that is :-)  Leah and I dropped off the boys at their play group and then headed off to do a little shopping before picking them back up.  We spent the rest of our day around the house before loading the boys up for a long walk with the stroller during their nap time.  We finished up our last night with Leah with a little stop for happy hour.  Once his chocolate milk was gone, Mason snacked on his next favorite thing--salt...


YUCK!

Today, before the sun was up, Mickey and I did our T25 workout.  I'm not gonna lie...I miss p90x3.  I enjoy those workouts much more but I'm giving this program a fair shot too.  At least it's only 25 minutes a day of torture :-)  

After breakfast, we did our usual story time thing this morning.  The featured books were...


Today was extra special because we had a reporter there and are looking forward to being featured in the paper.  Woohoo!!  

And now it's pool time...just can't get enough sunshine before we send Leah back to the cold state of Indiana :-)
