Last Things to do in Florida

This week we are doing things for the last time while we live here. Between saying our goodbyes and packing, we are enjoying the great outdoors and the warm weather. Soon it will be too hot here to do much outside but lucky for us, we are moving to a cooler climate (and I can't wait). But until then, we are enjoying this tropical spring as much as we can. The trees are in beautiful bloom, which makes the morning runs so much nicer. 

Today, we went to Key Biscayne (Miami) to walk across the big bridge from the mainland to the key. The view was great from up there and the breeze was nice. 

Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch at Atlantica. Even the "cool" kids enjoyed their fresh fish fingers and fries. 

But the highlight of the day was for sure the stop at the beach. The kids loved jumping headfirst into the salty water and throwing sand and seashells back in to the ocean. And the water was just perfect. We may don't go often to the beach, but when we do we truly enjoy it. 

Since we are moving the week before Easter and I doubt that I will have much time to decorate or color any eggs this year, I decided that Amelia and I could paint some eggs during Elliot's naptime. I bought those white plastic eggs from Walmart (they look like real eggs) and they worked great for us. First, we dyed them a pastel color and then took our crayons and stickers and decorated them. It was a fun, quick and not-so-messy activity we both enjoyed. And we will have some table decorations for the new house. 

We also went to the park this week and Daddy and Amelia went for a long morning walk. Since it was so hot, she deserved to freshen up some afterwards. Naked and carefree is the way to go for a 3 year old.

This last week is just flying by. I'm not sure it is because we are busy packing up the house and trying to fit in as many fun things as possible. Or because Daddy is home with us and we are enjoying every moment together. Or because when saying bye to our many friends we don't want it to end. (I will have a separate post about our goodbyes by the end of the week). For now, I will leave you with some bunny-ears pics from the kids. Hopefully on Saturday we will meet the Easter bunny and take a picture with him.
