Easter 2025

 

Easter weekend 2025 was spent in Islamorada (with a brief stop in Marathon)!

We stayed in a beautiful villa with our friends, the Clarys!

This tree!

These orchids!

Elle enjoyed fishing!

She actually did kiss the bait. :) ha!

Easter Egg hunt chaos... it was such fun.

happy kids

the whole fam

Gracie had her own Easter celebration at daycare. She looks unamused.

Easter baskets at home! Yes, Walker got a printer. :) He was so excited because our current printer is a little wacky and doesn't cooperate very often.

The kids also did an egg hunt around our house! Next up... Lainey's birthday on Thursday! She'll be 17!

Catching up...

Gracie had her first sustained face-to-face encounter with an iguana. She got it in her mouth and was so proud but it proved to be a bit awkward so she dropped it. 

My friend Rachel got it in the net and we dumped it over the side of the fence.

He went swimming...and probably regretted his choice to hang out in our backyard.

Very shortly after we saw the iguana swimming away, an alligator appeared. So "Florida." :)

Lainey looks cute doing cheer things.

Walker's basketball team won the 9/10th Grade Boys Championship! Go Raptors!

Walker did so well!

(Final score on scoreboard... 51 to 39.)
