My Family

Summer vacation is officially over -- we started school, celebrated Q's 5th birthday & haven't had a moment to upload any recent pictures. Until then, enjoy this picture of my sweet family. It was taken at Rick's wedding this past July.

Florida 2010, Part II

Here are a few more pics from our Florida trip, thanks to Mimi! Hopefully our camera will be repaired soon & I'll be a regular blogger again.

Florida 2010

Slowly, I am updating pictures from our most recent trip to Florida. Our camera decided to break two days before our scheduled departure, so I've been left to borrow pics. Thank you, Aimee!! On a good note, we had a few more days left on our extended warranty!

Brevard Zoo - 2010

We love visiting the Brevard Zoo during our trips to Cocoa Beach. It is a small zoo that does big things. The kids love feeding the giraffes on the giraffe platform. They also enjoy feeding nectar to the lorikeets in the bird aviary. This year, we were able to purchase seed sticks for the cockatiels. Lots of fun!!

Cool Down

On Wednesday & on a spur of the moment, we decided to go check out Buzz & Woody! Q had already seen the newest "Toy Story" movie with Mimi & Papa, so he was able to talk me through the important details. ha!

While in the theater, a thunderstorm had passed, bringing in one nasty humidity level. Can you guess what happened next?! Yep, a little H2O!!

Sweet Home Kentucky

A few more fun shots during our trip to Kentucky. I think we'll just leave the suitcases out, add or subtract a couple of items, while packing for our beach vacation. Ten glorious days await! We're excited!
