More family beach time!

12-5-2010

We had another great family beach weekend. The morning sun coming in through the front door was just beautiful.

Dani loves her "Baby Ellie".

While there we took a lot of pictures hoping for just the right ones to use on our Christmas card this year. So of course there are a lot of extras for me to share here :)

Later there will be a separate post of my favorites.

And can I just take a moment to say how much I love living in Florida!!! I mean really... how many places can you do beach pictures in short sleeves with bare feet in December and be totally comfortable?

Dani and Ellie found two big holes to play in and lay in.

We are so lucky to get to spend time with our family and enjoy the beach at the same time!

Halloween!

10-31-2010

First we took our little Tinkerbell to the pumpkin patch.

Then we went to visit Mr. Merry. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and love him so much!

Then we went back to Grandpa's house.

After changing from Tinkerbell to Dani she helped us carve the pumpkin.

She wasn't too sure about touching the "guts".

She wanted Grandpa to draw a face on her too.

Then she got to enjoy a very messy cupcake.

And the final result.

Ready for Halloween

Grandma Zonnie took Dani and Parker to Universal Studios for Halloween. In the process she bought Dani a new Tinkerbell costume.

School Halloween Party

10-29-10

Time for Dani's school Halloween party again. So she got dressed up in the shirt her teacher helped her make. I think this time the teacher had more to do with it than Dani but that didn't bother her.

Another trip to New Smyrna Beach

10-23-10

We went to visit the beachy part of our family. We ate at Breakers and oh my was it yummy!!!

They leave the windows open so this was the view from our table.

That night the moon was sooooo cool! It was so bright that it looked like the sun in some pictures.

After dinner we walked around and then had ice cream.

That night the girls played like crazy and Grandpa got stuck in the tunnel!

The next day the girls had popsicles before heading down to the beach.

Everybody helped build sand castles.

Dani still wanted to play but Ellie was getting pretty tired.

Daddy and Grandpa showed Dani how to surf on a boogie board.

Next it was off to the pumpkin patch.

Grandpa posed with his girls.

After we got back to the house the girls wanted to dance.

And before we left we took some family pictures.

Stanley Pond Farm Fun

10-17-10

Mommy was told about a new pumpkin patch at a place called Stanley Pond Adventure Farm. So Mommy, Grandma Zonnie, Dani and Parker all went to check it out. First we met a mini horse named Prince (he actually came from Animal Control)!

I love the way they hold hands everywhere they go!

There are plenty of places to stop and take pictures.

And then there was the pumpkin patch!

There is a little area for the smaller kids to play and tractors everywhere!

But their favorite part was "the dirt pile". Actually it's very clean playground sand and tons of fun. Dani started off jumping and landing on her butt.

Then she started running down it. She would go so fast she would lose her footing and fall down when she hit the bottom!

For some reason the sand on their feet looked like it had sparkles in it.

Parker found a group of girls he tried to hang out with ;-)

We will definitely be headed back to this place!
