I was looking through some old pictures a few weeks before Josh came home.
I found pictures from an afternoon we had gone to St. Augustine.
Aynslee was about 16 months old.
We sat out near the fort on the nice green grass and let her run around.
I remember thinking it was the most perfect day.
That's one of my best memories as a family of 3.
Now it's just simply, my perfect day, with my family.
The girls love having a picnic.
We brought our special "picnic blanket"
and packed a simple lunch.
We brought kites but there wasn't enough wind that day.
It was so nice just sitting still and watching our surroundings.
The cannons shot in the fort while we were there.
We listened to the horses hoaves clop, clop as they pulled buggies
for touriest through the city.
We all laid on the blanket and looked at the clouds to see what shapes
we could see.
In a world that is always moving and people taking less
time to enjoy the simple things in life,
it's nice to just stop and watch the world go by.
I hope this is a memory that stands out for my girls.
And I hope that when they think back on their childhood,
it's their perfect day, too.

This describes my girls so perfectly,Avery doing something silly,
and Aynslee with a big smile on her face.
Aynslee took this picture.She just may have a bright future as a photographer.
everytime we come down to St.Augstine we always stop atKilwins to get a yummy treat.
