Gemini Springs

We were invited by a childhood friend of mine to her son's second birthday party at Gemini Springs. We have never been there and were simply amazed. Ken loved looking at the springs and he was making mental notes for a future fishing trip. There was also a great playground area and lots of pavillions for picnic lunches and parties. The party was so much fun especially since there was a tot-size bounce house. It took Nathan a while to get used to it, but once he got going he LOVED it. Thomas became an instant fan of playing "Corn Hole" and he even did some kind of touch-down dance each time he got the beanbag in the hole. The party was college football theme with particular emphasis on the Florida Gators. Here are some highlights of our fun day. We can't wait to visit there again.

Brrr.....

On Friday night we had a make-up T-Ball game. Thanks to the rainy day before, the game was a chilly 57 degrees! Thomas loved it! All the kids seemed more giddy than usual. Nathan and I bundled up under blankets and we all sported the multi-layered look. Thomas did very well catching the ball and even got three kids 'out'. He hit the ball everytime it was pitched and never needed the tee. It's hard to believe that we only have two more games in this season. Go Rays!

A Few Winks

While I was making dinner I trapped Nathan in the highchair and gave him a graham cracker while he waited for dinner. Things were quiet. Quiet in this house means trouble. I looked over and found Nathan sound asleep in his highchair. Don't worry, it was short lived. I placed him in his crib and he popped his head up and was ready for dinner.

Halloween Fun

Here are some pictures of our Halloween fun. In keeping with tradition, we visited Mr. Bill and Ms. Mary and then headed to see the Coffaro's and Scheffer's. Thomas loved trick-or-treating and Nathan enjoyed the lights and sounds of the night. Little McKinley was a UCF cheerleader and I can't wait to see what next Halloween will be like with our kids running all over the neighborhood!

McKinley's First T-Ball Game

To our surprise McKinley (and her family) came to Thomas' Saturday morning T-Ball game. McKinley LOVES the fresh air and slept during their visit. McKinley was sporting one of her cute Halloween outfits and sweet hair bows. In this photo she is 5 1/2 weeks old. We are so thankful that The Coffaro & Scheffer crew came to cheer on the Rays!

Friday Night Game Under the Lights

We usually have ball practice on Friday nights, but instead we had a game. Even after a super long week of school, Thomas did a great job on the field. We were very happy that Nana and Papa came to see him play.

Pumpkin Patch

We didn't get a chance to visit the pumpkin patch during the day, but the boys still had fun looking at the pumpkins. Nathan still wanted to pick every single one up, regardless of its size. Thomas loved the ones that were all bumpy. Yet again, taking a picture of the two seems to be "mission impossible."
