Afternoon Adventures with Ellie and Morgan

Rochelle invited me over to her place to spend a lovely afternoon hangout with her and her daughters.

The beautiful winter blooms in her garden.

Rochelle picked a flower from her garden to adorn my hair.

We took the girls for a walk around the neighborhood. They both wanted to be pushed in the little pink toy car but it only fit one. Ellie decided to ride a bike but I figured out how to push them both at once by having Ellie ride in front.

Ellie decided to make an emergency stop for some sidewalk chalk art.

Back at home Rochelle was in the middle of watering her plans when she decided to water her daughters as well.

Morgan and Ellie, soaking wet and giggling.

The Central Florida Scottish Highland Games 2023

I went to the Highland Games with Judi and her son Emilio. It was a chilly day but full of fun! 

Myself, Emilio, and Judi expressing our frustration at thinking we were heading in the wrong direction.

We parked about three miles away and were waiting in line for the shuttle when we were told it could be about a ninety minute wait. We decided to walk instead. We walked for about an hour and checked the GPS. For some reason it was showing we were walking in the wrong direction. We headed back but luckily met up with some other walkers who confirmed we were heading in the right direction originally.

We eventually made it and rewarded ourselves with some treats.

It is never too cold for some ice cream.

Vinoy Park and The St. Pete Pier

Mom and I went out for a lovely afternoon in downtown St. Pete.

We were lucky enough to spot a dolphin.

Hazy Afternoon at The Beach

For New Years I went with my mother for a walk at Indian Shores Beach. It was chilly and the dense fog was eerily beautiful.
