March 2012

Fun things happening this spring! 
Basketball ended and Gray, Owen, and Payton had a fabulous season.  I have one picture of Gray at award ceremony time.  He received another "Minds in Motion" award.  Im proud at how well he has kept his grades up while playing for his high school freshman team.  He is an amazing athlete and student! 

Owen progressed alot with Coach Tucker this season learning important skills that have increased his speed, ball handling, strategy plays and shots.  They won a championship in a tough league playing against our post governors' son.  Their picture even got in our local paper! 


I started working for a friend to care for her little ones and clean her home.  She is a mother of 8.  That says enough!  So March has been busy with work and then the last week of March Greg and I went to Florida for a fun trip!  He had to go for business and I tagged along for pleasure!  I slept in every day! (No early morning seminary duties!!)  We arrived Tuesday, Greg worked Wed.  while I got a manicure/ pedicure, read on the beach,  studied for my Praxis test, did some sight seeing around town- window shopping or a little suvionour shopping (Im not much for that- it looks like junk to me), found postcards and mailed them to family.   Oh, I got burned on the beach.  While reading I didn't realize my right thigh was directly on the sand.  I guess I have a high tolerence for pain and my senses are not acute to say the least!  I still have the scar from it a month later.  Thursday Greg had a 1/2 day.  I jogged and relaxed and then we went for a kayak trip at night.  Our guides were nice and we saw manatees, an alligator, lots of birds, crustacians  and even a couple doliphins!  Friday we went to the Orlando temple and Epcot Center.  Saturday we just got ready to leave back home. 

 We didn't take our camera Kayaking because they recommended not to; we could loose it in the mirky water.  So this is our only proof.   I'll have to find the online site to see if they have more.  (Of course, if we spent $$ we could get the pictures they took.  It might be worth it.  I just haven't had time to check them out.)

 Epcot Center - many culture centers here.

 Grandfather clocks are expensive!  The above on is 350.00, below is over 1,000!

 Beautiful gardens around.

 They didn't seem to spare expense to create life looking models of fasinating architecture to represent different cities in the world. 

 O'Canada and the Soran exhibits were excellent, not to mention the belly dancer.  (sorry, can't load my video)

 Cape Canaveral where the cruises set sail for all areas of the Carribean. 

 Darn, you can't tell, but this bird is a pink flamingo!  Click on it and maybe you can enlarge it. 

Thanks to Greg's folks again for making this trip possible!   Its nice to get away together and not have the daily grind of responsibilities.
