Watercolor, FL

We went on a family vacation with my family at the end of October to Watercolor, FL. We had a great time, it was Mina's first time at the beach. She had never before seen the ocean. SHE LOVED IT! She was the only one of the kids who actually got in the water. It was a little chilly, I think the highest the temps got were like 75 degrees. Not exactly ocean weather, but we did it anyway. We stayed in a house with my parents, my brother, my sister and her family. Try 5 kids under the age of 5. Whew!! We needed a vacation after the vacation. J/K! We had a great time, we rode bikes, shopped, swam, rode bikes, and rode bikes. We did a lot of bike riding. The kids love it. We pulled all the boys in a bike trailer and Mina rode her own bike. She did great. Miss Independent. Anyway, while we were there mom took pictures. Check these out!

Sorry its been so long!

Well, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted. I can't imagine that I have been that busy, but obviously I have. I have a lot of material to post about after 3 weeks of no posting. I have the beach, an Aidan update, Christmas decorating and much, much more! So, keep checking. Don't lose faith yet. I will start working on those much needed posts ASAP!

Halloween!!

So, Halloween has come and gone! It was our 1st Halloween actually trick-or-treating, and also our 1st Halloween with Mina! We were rushed to get out the door, but we eventually made it! We had a great time. My in-laws were here, and my WONDERFUL mother-in-law made us dinner, and then we headed out. The kids loved having an entourage. Chris and Kim were here also, and we walked around with our good friends from across the street! We managed to fill to pumpkin bags in about 30 minutes, so we finished up and headed home to hang with our other good friends. We sat by the firepit and made s'mores and drank homemade hot chocolate compliments of Hannah! It was great! The kids really enjoyed it! Here are some pics of our fun-filled night!
