October Photos

Well now that I am not worrying about photo size on my blog posts I can finally take a few minutes to get caught up!

 

Here are the remaining October photos.

 

 

Before heading out on Fall Break we headed downtown to one of our favorite festivals - Ethnic Expo.  Here are the boys and Thomas's friend Neil (middle) walking ahead of me.  They're getting sooo big!

 

 

 

After Fall Break we celebrated David's birthday with what else?

 

Books, CD's, and Sushi!

 

 

David and I went to the Arts Council's annual fundraiser.  This year's theme was Bollywood.  I borrowed a few items from my friend Poonam.  It was a really fun night!

 

 

At church we had to say goodbye to our Youth Pastor who is head pastor at a growing church in Detroit now.  The Youth got together for are really fun night to wish her well.

 

 

Our youth have a tradition of Silly String fights so this was Pastor Peggy's last chance to participate!

 

Thomas looking stunning in his silly string.

 

 

And, of course, Halloween!

Thomas purchased this "hat/beard combo" with his birthday money. (?????)  But it came in handy for Halloween.  We stopped by the party store on the way home from school so he could find a coordinating "top" and he was in business.  Brennan chose to wear David's Indiana Jones costume!

 

So cute!

 

Hope you're having a great week!

Florida - October 2013

After our trip to St. Augustine, we drove back south to Kissimmee to meet up with our good friends John, Ginger, and Trevor.  We had a wonderful time at the Gaylord Palms!

 

Trevor and Brennan - born a day apart

 

 

The boys had a ton of fun together!

 

 

And so did the Mamas!

 

 

And the Daddies

 

 

 

David and Ginger even had a little time for some work/school stuff

 

 

One day we headed to Cape Canaveral to the NASA museum

In the parking lot David quickly spotted these two Cobras (one of his favorite cars).

 

 

We had a fun time touring the NASA museums even though because of the shutdown we didn't get to go out to the Launchpad.

 

St. Augustine - October 2013

 

I am finally catching up on the blog.  I had given up because blogger wasn't allowing me to size my photos the way I am normally able to.  I have tried lost of suggestions, but none of them work.  So - here are my photos in small size unfortunately :)

 

We had an absolutely wonderful time over Fall Break visiting St. Augustine.  We had never been but it's been on my list for a long time.  I was anxious to spend a little time on the Atlantic, do a little sightseeing, and rest up.  St. Augustine didn't disappoint!

 

Here we are at a great seafood spot heading to St. Augustine from the airport in Orlando

 

 

Thomas and me with our lobster bibs on - ready to dig in!

 

 

 

We had a great hotel right on the beach.

 

 

 

 

With a wonderful sunset view.

 

 

 

The boys absolutely loved playing in the ocean.

 

 

And digging in the sand shelf where we sat to watch the waves.

 

 

 

The men went for a morning beach run.

 

 

And we went downtown to sightsee.  Here is the St. Augustine Fort.

 

 

 

And George Street where we enjoyed great tacos, some sightseeing, and a leisurely walk.

 

 

I took this photo just to show how they walk.  All hooked together.  So cute. 

 

 

 

In front of the first schoolhouse in America.

 

 

 

Christmas card photo ops!

 

 

 

We also toured the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum.

 

The stairs up the lighthouse.  David and Brennan braved it.

 

 

42 mph winds at the top - Brennan was super brave.

 

 

We also went to the Fountain of Youth area.

This is the drive to the entrance.

 

It was an absolutely GREAT few days.  Then it was on to Kissimmee to meet up with friends and enjoy more wonderful weather!
