255/365 Oakland Cemetery

We explored an old cemetery in Oakland, Florida today. Beautiful old stones.

And a little life in the cemetery

254/365 School happenings

Busy day on the campus today

We had a special party for one of the students. Her parents won an auction at our fundraiser event last year and she was the recipient of a private party for her and her friends. They had a great time.

Matt's computer class did a little "learning in action" today. They went outside to learn how the Internet sends messages.

253/365 Lower School kids

Today was a half day, so that meant plenty of time for fun and games with my lower school friends.

How cute are they?

Our school did some major renovations to the library over the summer to create two entirely new classrooms and some new office space. Because of that, the old shelfs had to be replaced with new. Things are nearly done!

Today my newest photo book arrived. It's a collection of some of my favorite photos from this year so far. You can check it out for yourself here.

Quick lunch at Sonny's BBQ with my lovely, crazy family

Later a stop at the office supply store. I love all the colorful school supplies!

249/365 Breakfast and Lake Louisa

With my parents in town, we celebrated with a wonderful homemade breakfast! Matthew made homemade biscuits and fried up some bacon while mom and I got some melons and blueberries ready.

We enjoyed our breakfast on my patio garden. It doesn't look half bad in this picture.

Lots of bacon

The biscuits. You can find the recipe here.

While we enjoyed our breakfast the kitties chilled out. Owen stretched out all his muscules

And Colors just sat looking pretty.

Afterwards, we headed out to Lake Louisa State Park. It's a huge park in our area that my parents haven't been to yet. The day was hot, but the views were great.

Mom looking at the lake. A bunch of people were enjoying the day with picnics, but unfortunately swimming is not allowed this season due to a low water level last year.

I have no idea what this is! It's an orange moth like creature about the size of my pinkie finger.

Not sure what this is either. Maybe a salamader?

Anyways - back to the lake.
