Siesta Key Sand Sculpting

A few weeks ago we went to the Siesta Key Crystal Classic sand sculpting competition in Sarasota, Florida. It was amazing. The weather was amazing. The artists were amazing. And the water... was a little bit cold. The sculptors had four or five days to finish their masterpieces. I hope someday to be that dedicated to something... I can barely get a blog post written six months after it happens. This happened around a month ago so... I'd call that progress.

This one was by far my favorite!

This was going to be my fun pregnancy announcement. But I decided getting pregnant just for a picture might be a little crazy. Maybe next year.

Sandy Santa! Did I mention that I love winters in Florida?

Here is the winner. Not sure what the title was or what this is supposed to be, but looks like someone was in the doghouse? In case you were wondering: this is the perfect way to spend a November afternoon in Florida. I highly recommend it Utahns (and any other snowbirds out there).

Fall in Presque Isle

This weekend was 80% a bust. Mike has a test on Monday and when that happens, he disappears. And I watch 10-16 hours per day of Doctor Who, Mad Men, HGTV, and old black and white movies. I also somehow end up eating like seven meals per day (including two to three rounds of dessert..). It's a rough life, but I'm suffering through it. However, we were able to squeeze in a little drive to my favorite new spot in Erie! It was really nice going outdoors after sitting on our couch for 72 hours straight. (I'll spare you all the pictures of that trainwreck.) So, this is Presque Isle State Park. And it's beautiful. We get the gorgeous fall colors and the beautiful beach and lakes. We love living by the beach!! (Even if it is a fake-lake beach and it is way too freezing to even go near right now.) Here are a few pictures of our Sunday stroll.
