With Emerson’s broken arm, it’s hard to change clothes. So she picked a soft shirt to sleep in last night, and I told her she could just go to church casual today, and wear the same shirt. So she just threw on some shorts and she was ready to go early with me for worship team. We left Addie and Daddy at home to get ready on their own, and so she ended up in a pumpkin dress in June 😉

Since it was just me and my big girl this morning, we went out for a little breakfast date at Dunkin. I let her choose whatever drink & breakfast she wanted (she got the strawberry daydream fizzy refresher with cold foam, or something like that), and I got one of those crazy coffee buckets! Luckily, I had enough rewards points in my app, that I got her drink for free actually.

Emerson didn’t have puzzle camp today, so instead, Papa took her on a special one-on-one field trip! Back in April or May (can’t remember), when Emerson had that awful stomach bug for like five or six days, she missed a field trip at school with her gifted class to visit the Mariana Caverns. So way back then, Papa told her he’d take her one day when she was feeling up to it. And today worked out perfectly for their trip!

For the first time this week, Jeff was able to get a picture of Addie before drop-of at East Hill. She’s had a bit of a hard transition there her first week, and and drop-off time is always rough. But then I know she warms up and has a great time later!

Today, we got started on the usual routine for this summer. First up, Emmie gets to participate this week in a special camp for the gifted kiddos, through Leon County schools. We were able to rank our choices, and she got placed in her first choice, which was puzzle camp! They are doing all sorts of puzzles, in the style of Survivor, Amazing Race, escape rooms, etc… And she was so pumped to go!

OK so now let’s get caught up on the weekend back at home…
SATURDAY
We ran all over town Saturday morning, getting breakfast, gassing up the rental van, returning the rental van, picking up Pennie. But before we did any of that, we actually had to unload the van, because we got home so late Friday night, that we left basically everything in the van so we could just head to bed quicker.

And finally, after hours of combing through hundreds of photos, editing photos, and editing cute little TikTok videos, I’ve made it to the final day, final post, of our Daytona Beach vacay. Check out the prior days here: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And here’s…
FRIDAY
I specifically woke up early on our last morning so I could watch the sunset. I opened the balcony door, rolled the computer chair right up to the door, and wrapped the giant curtain around me to keep the rest of the room dark. Then I sat there cozied up in a blanket, just enjoying the perfect temperature and the beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic ocean!

Alright, after two days of blogging whenever I get some free time, we’re nearing the end of the week. If you’ve missed it, you can check out the earlier days here: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And now we’re at…
THURSDAY
Planned some activities for the girls and I around town again for the morning hours, so our day started with breakfast in the hotel room, and then a walk across the street to the parking lot, which was about half a block down, not attached directly to the hotel. And Thursday was declared strawberry day for the girls’ outfits.

OK, so far, I’ve gotten caught up on blog posts from Daytona Beach week for Monday and Tuesday. So let’s get going with…
WEDNESDAY
The girls had some muffins in the hotel room for breakfast, and I had one of my protein drinks and some low-sugar yogurt. Then I planned out the morning for us to explore some of the area, and also avoid the potential rain… So first up, we went to the local library, where they had an amazing kids area, totally sectioned off in the back, with tons of toys and activities, where they could just be as loud as they wanted!
