Today is Fiona's 12th Birthday! She's the most amazing young lady.  She's thoughtful, the best friend anyone could ever hope for, she's sweet, intelligent  ( honors classes ) , outgoing, fun, generous, responsible, honest, genuine, hilarious,a go-getter, athletic, creative, sassy and so very kind with enough fire in her belly. I could go on and on then tell a bunch of stories to highlight each attributed I've listed. She's our amazing Fiona and we couldn't be any more proud of her.  Fi had her Birthday Experience last week. It was 3 days 3 nights in Clearwater, Florida with my Friend and her daughter. Four ladies exchanging white snow for mid 80's and white sands. What a great birthday escape!   I'll document it soon. For now I will leave these pictures of my little girl back flipping as the sun sunk behind her, into the Gulf of Mexico... Happy Birthday Biscuit! May you flip happily through all your days! xo

Hi, this is Reed. One of my favorite days so far on our big adventure was going to Miami and going to the Everglades. Getting close and personal with Mr. Alli! Learning about alligators to get my ranger badge. We were walking down a trail when all of sudden we saw an alligator come out of the water. I think he wanted to get a tan. This is a picture of me and Fiona getting sworn in as rangers.  We worked hard and it was an absolute honor. Here's a couple pictures of Clayton in the visitors center.  If you measure from the eyes to the nose of an alligator skull, say 9 inches. You then change inches to feet then you know the alligator was 9 feet long. cool huh? Fiona and I working on our ranger badges. Clay working with dad on his deputy Jr. ranger badge.  Getting sworn in. We are having an amazing summer, I hope you are too. (Day 6 of 27)
