Happy 70 Years!

This past weekend was Great Grammy Claire's (GiGi) 70th birthday!  We spent a fwe hours with her in the most divine setting down in Bradenton!  Desoto Park was absolutely gorgeous and the weather was beautiful!  We brought a picnic lunch and then walked for an hour around the trails and water!  It was so nice just "being" together!  No plans, no rushing, sometimes just quiet.  It was perfect! We love you GiGi!  Happy Birthday!

Trick or Treat!

Our cute, historical downtown Dunedin had a trick or treat night for families Friday. All the stores and restaurants opened their doors and allowed kids in to get candy! It was packed with cute little kiddos all dolled up collecting their goodies! We went with Matt. Kelly and Gwenny and Adam and Monica! It was so cute watching them nervously walk up and grab a piece of candy! After about 20 minutes they got the hang of it and were non stop!

 

One of the little organic cafe's even gave out carrot's! Perfect for our little giraffe!

Pumpkin Time!

This weekend we headed out to the local church pumpkin patch.  Since we dont live in a northern state with fields of vined pumpkins and rows of fun, we have to go to the commercial globs of pumpkins with the ugly blown up lanterns and scarecrows that have been used 10 years in a row.  Oh well, at least Ella had fun! 

 

Slip N Slide!

Ella's friend Gwen turned "2"!  So we headed over for her really yummy birthday party!  Kelly had an array of water toys, bubbles, bowling, and sprinklers for all the kiddos to enjoy!  Ella was so brave going head first down the water slide!  Its been so neat watching their little friendship develope and we have really enjoyed the Kalil friendship.

 

 

Happy Birthday Sweet Gwen!  We love you!
