Daddy and Luke go to SeaWorld

As everyone knows, Luke is really into animals. Lately, he's especially enjoyed talking about sea animals and has shown a particular interest in sharks. Soooo.... Daddy decided a trip to Sea World was in order! We made it a boys trip and were able to spend a day and a half at the park. Luke had a ball!

This is a large open aquarium with smaller sharks in it:

His favorite part of the whole trip was seeing the Sea Lion show. It's geared to kids and has lots of funny parts. We saw it twice on the first day and once on the second!

Are you tired? "No, Daddy"

He was VERY excited about having his face painted like a tropical tiger!

Last weekend Jen and I took Luke and Kendall to a book festival at one of the parks downtown. They read to a dog and got to meet Clifford. A good time was had by all!

Another trip to the zoo!

We enjoyed a trip to the zoo yesterday afternoon! Typically, we get up and go early, but we got a later start yesterday. Kendall took a nap on the way there. By the time we got there was time for a quick tubby and then the kids went to bed. They were exceptionally well behaved at the zoo so Mommy and Daddy had a particularly good time, too!

Jen's New Look

Jen decided to go dark for the winter. I think it looks great!

Halloween

I had to go to a conference over Halloween weekend so Barbara came down to enjoy the weekend with the kids and help Jen. I'm sorry I missed it, but I appreciate Jen taking these pictures.

Trip to feed the ducks

A random trip to feed some ducks!

Gary's Visit back in Mid October

I'm running behind, but better late than never! Gary came down back in mid October and had a ball with the kids. We also went to the local seafood festival. A good time was had by all!
