Bringing Back Memories...

Boo!
We had a great Halloween! The day started out at Tally Ho farms with a few horse riding competitions. Later that night the kids got all dressed up for a night trick-or-treating with friends on our street. They had a great time and brought home a TON of candy...way too much in fact! Here are a few pictures that capture the day!

Galveston!
Just back from our annual trek to Galveston for the weekend. Last year we didn't make it due to Hurricane Ike but the kids wouldn't let it pass this year. After a countdown for the past 43 days by the kids - we finally made it. What a great time it was to spend with the family. Great accommodations at the Hotel Galvez and great food at restaurants Olympia and Yaga on the Strand. With the exception of an incredible attack by mosquitoes at dinner (which prompted us to have to move inside after at least 20 bites each...) we had a fabulous time.
A few of the highlights include:
- Two weddings taking place at the hotel (with late night, noisy parties to accompany!)
- Lots of sand castle building
- The coolest ever Crab Hotel (made of sand of course and to house our 15 crabs we caught, complete with a large crab claw placed on top)
- Burying of a large jellyfish - complete with shells in the shape of a cross on top
- A late night family walk along the beach and jetty
- A fabulous shell collection
- A walk along the Strand
Here are a few pictures that tell part of the story...

Arden Adventure!
What a great time we had taking pictures of little Arden! She is growing up so fast and it was fun spending time with her while trying to capture her personality on film. You can see her big, beautiful, blue eyes and a little of personality in the images below. Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

Wow - 65 years of marriage!
It was great to spend the long Labor Day weekend with family. Grandparents, aunts, cousins, parents, sister and brother in law, along with all of our nieces. This was a special event - the 65th wedding anniversary of our grandparents! Married at ages 16 and 18 they have seen (and been through) quite a lot together. It was a special time for all of us and it is great to be able to get our family together so easily. Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend...
