Trip to Florida
We took advantage of the Columbus Day holiday, and drove to Florida to visit Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sandye. The kids did surprisingly well on the 7 hour drive. The Boston Schwartz Family also came down and we all spent a great weekend together. Above, the kids and Uncle Dave enjoying the hot tub at Grandpa and Grandma's house.
Abster seemed to enjoy the beach... here she is heading for the snacks.
She is not so sure about the ocean!
Jackson working on a sand tunnel...
Typical Jackson... he met a friend within a few minutes and spent the next hour with him and his family.
Catie also loved the beach!
Here are the kids, hanging out in the condo with Brown Eyes, wearing their possum shirts...
We stopped at a pumpkin patch and picked out several pumpkins. The kids were very excited about carving the pumpkins. They drew their faces, but then quickly lost interest once we started the carving. They chased Mason (Grandma and Grandpa's Scottie) around and swam while the adults worked on the pumpkins. The pumpkins turned out well, but we forgot to get a picture of the finished product.
We all went to a Marine Center and saw various fish, snakes, crabs, etc. This turtle was just walking down the street outside of the center. Many thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for having us and hosting dinner at the house every night so we didn't have to take all the kids out. They had quite a job cleaning up after dinner every night as Uncle Dave and the children are quite messy. Of course, the Boston kids were messier than ours, but who's keeping score?

Your picture of Jackson and his new best friend reminded me of a Seinfeld episode. "Hey you like chocolate, I like chocolate. Your my best friend."
