Did you know that peacocks honked?! Our visit to Florida

Ah...the sweet sounds of spring time!  Bird chipping, the waves breaking, and peacocks honking.  You read that correctly.  On vacation, I learned that peacocks dont chirp or tweet; they HONK!  I also learned that not all peacocks are multi-colored; some are albino. 

Chew on that for a minute... 

Recently, we took our annual journey across the state of Flordia (Ok, ok....It was a few weeks ago. I'm behind!).  Either way we squeezed in lots of adventures.  Here are the highlights:

  • First, we survived 1,055+ miles/18 hours traveling from destination to destination with a pregnant bladder that needed to stop frequently and a lazy Cookie Monster
  • We went on a canoe ride looking for porpoise,  but only saw jumping mullets


  • I won a rose at church on Mother's Day for being the "newest" mom
  • Adam and Grant re-lived their "glory days" surfing. 

  • I read murder mystery books on the beach...in a 2 PIECE!  It was liberating, but you do NOT want to see a picture of that :)
  • We went to the beach with friends who had small kids, and I had the profound realization that it may be a LONG time before I get to read murder mystery books on the beach again!
  • Adam showed the fish who was boss :)

  • We spent LOTS of time with fantastic family & friends



Now on to summer semester...let the fun begin!
