Sunday afternoon ~ a fun day!

Hey there! As promised, I'm back tonight to give you the recap of today since I skipped out on a post yesterday.

The morning started off really nice; it was a great service at church, very impactful. I also saw and chatted with a few members of my church small group. It was nice to go to church today, and start to really see people I know. I feel like I am starting to make friends here in Florida.

After going home for a bit, I changed into a swim suit and headed over to my aunt and uncle's house. We went swimming in their pool for a few hours; it was so much fun. We dove for pennies, did piggy back rides in the water, and talked about all the floaties we want to buy. (Such as - that swan thing you see in all the celebrity pool pictures.  I'm sure it would be twelve kinds of tragic to see myself climb on that thing, but wouldn't it be fun?!)

Because we wanted to make the day truly epic, we made Smores in the fire pit by the pool. My aunt and uncle bought these GIANT marshmallows. See that picture, above? That is ONE marshmallow, folks. It was intense.

We were covered in melted chocolate and marshmallow fluff, but if was SO worth it.

We then played a strong two rounds of Clue. They have the Disney's version, themed with Tower of Terror. My cousin won the first round in a way I have never seen (it was incredible) and then yours truly was within one guess of taking all the marbles on the second game, but cousin #2 beat me to it. Darn kids.

This game of Clue also cemented my desire to have Disney versions of all the major board games. I know I have two versions of Monopoly (one villain, one regular Disney characters) and I *think* I have something else themed, but I might have to pick up this Clue when I'm in Orlando in the next few days.

So here I am now, back at home, resting in my pjs and doing some reading and writing. It was a full day, and really fun. I'm washing sheets and towels now (#adulting) and I might rent a movie later.

Tomorrow is looking great, too. I'll do a bit of work in the morning but in the afternoon will head over to my sister's place. We're setting up another game day and perhaps even a visit to this amazing pool supply store in Naples where they have TONS of floaties (including the aforementioned swan). We might even through in dinner somewhere, if we're feeling crazy.

I hope you all have fun plans tomorrow for Labor Day. Share with me in the comments what you're doing tomorrow!

Have a good night ~
