Toes in the Sand

We spent the final day of Spring Break at the beach this weekend. Our first “REAL” family beach day of 2012 was a success. I spent most of by time laying out with my best friend of summer, my kindle…but the rest of the Brandtio’s enjoyed time in the water and sand. I ventured out to the sand bar just once…which was enough for me because contrary to the photos below, the water was FREEZING!!! We packed a picnic lunch and spent the day on the coast until the sun headed down. With John having surgery last week, and me working & wedding detailing with 2 of my best friends this week, the kiddos spent most of break with Grandma & Paw Paw (who they were very excited to see). They adventured to the Naval Aviation museum & to Navarre Beach as well as many ice cream trips around town. The girls also went fishing with Ava, Nana & Papa…which they thoroughly enjoyed (they keep asking when they are going back)!!  Overall I think they had a pretty good Spring Break…and finishing it off with the beach and dinner at Oar House, is just what their parental units needed as well… They really should make Spring Break for the working world too…Maybe I’ll write Obama, and ask him to “change” that.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success! 

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
