Normally, I wouldn’t mind that so much, but we took the day off from work, and are headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to have some fun!
The weather is supposed to clear up by lunchtime!!
This is our last family fun day together since Harrison will be heading back to college!
What we’ve been up to this week
I’m happy to report I finally got all the Christmas trees down last Saturday!
While I was busy packing boxes, Rich, Harrison, and two of his friends (who were in town visiting Disney World) went to Lake Apopka’s North Shore for a little bird watching!
He took this picture of a female Vermilion Flycatcher.
His photography skills are improving daily, I need to take lessons from him!
If you love seeing pictures of birds follow him on IG at allen_wildlife_photos!
I’ve been taking my time adding some Winter decor around the house and trying to decide what to do for Valentine’s Day.
Each year I add Valentine’s touches to one area of our home.
I think it’s going to go in the dining room this year!
Stay tuned to see what I decide!
