Penguin Pals

The Tampa Aquarium has the coolest penguin display.  The only thing separating us and them was a 4 foot tall piece of plexi-glass.

This guy seemed a little angry

Everyone Loves Maggie

Everywhere we go Maggie makes friends.

Erin is jealous.

Christmas

We had a fantastic Christmas weekend at Mom's house.  First presents with Grandpa and Grandma then a great day at the aquarium.  Aquarium pics soon to follow.

St. Augustine

We just can't stay away from that schoolhouse.

More Gators

Way to go Beth!

Going Batty

The bathouses at UF were fantastic.

Go Beth

We are thinking of naming him "Treesus".

Swinging

Like father like son.

Attack of the Marshmallow Monster

Where did this kid come from?

Fire pit @ Cortez

Fire brings everyone together.  Lots of smoores and smiles.

Kiddo's

Post-turkey dinner photo shoot.

Outdoor Space

Karen set up an awesome spot for fire burning and hanging out.  The chalk really ties the room together.

Hanging around

Pre-dinner action, Mason was refusing to act normal.

Fried Turkey

Gerard knocked it out of the park!

Masonry

Steve and mason joined us for the thanksgiving weekend.  Mason, Maggie and Mader were bestest of friends.

Good Times!

We now have a firepit!  It has amazing powers.  Neighbors have flocked over and wood sprites have visited to deliver fuel.  Now we need a dutch oven.  Good times to come.

No Comment

I'm not sure if I have already posted this or not.  Here is the whole group from Real Women of Brevard, enjoy.

Nickel

We discussed the different types of coins we use and investigated all of the pictures on them.
And then we came to the nickel up close:

Student 1: Is that Mitt Romney?

Student 2: No, it's a vampire!

Student 3: No, it can't be, vampires live in Europe.

There you have it. The picture on the nickel is none other than an undead Mitt Romney from Europe.

FIRE!!!

I built a pit for fire and then made a gif about it, big deal.

Goat Girl

Old zoo photos.

Saxed out.

I don't remember his name, but he was crushing it all night!

The Winnings

I think this may be the first raffle I've ever one.  This mighty basket fed 7 people with tons left over.  Cracker Barrel is just as good when made at home.

The Real Women of Brevard County

Last Friday I celebrated the Real Women of Brevard with Karen and Mrs. September Jantina.  Had a great time and met some really great folks.

Pre Game at Jantina's

The Ladies and I

Backyard Ham and Eggers

Thank you Karen and Troy for the fresh eggs!  No lie, they definitely are fluffier than store bought.

Sandy Bean Haul

The beach had plenty of goodies the morning after Sandy rolled through.  We found more sea beans in one day than we have in our entire time living here.  Not a bad find.

If anyone was wondering...

Here is where the fudge is made.

HMMMMMM

A change of careers possibly?
