Friendsgiving in FL #5 - Everyone else's pictures

A combination of other people's pics that I didn't want to leave out from our super wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.















Friendsgiving in FL #4

Our last full day in Bonita we rented a pontoon again.  Saw dolphins, enjoyed some good conversation and of course just enjoyed spending time together.

Friendsgiving in Florida #1

We are one super lucky family.  For our second year in a row, our friends the Carpenters joined us in Bonita Springs again.  And yes, there are plans to go back for a third year.  We had a fantastic time shelling, boating, shopping, fishing, eating, playing, watching sunsets, and just generally hanging out.  The pictures speak for themselves.

Let the shelling begin!

 Yep, we are dolphin whispers too

The gangs all here and ready for sunset

Everything weekend

In October, Lily let me know she wanted her room remodeled in our DE house.  And boy did she have some specific ideas of what she wanted.  So off to work I went buying an egg chair, an new desk, making window cornices and painting walls.  I must say it turned out fantastic, but not entirely sure how I so easily got suckered into it.



While I was out painting of course Lily was having a grand time fishing and playing with her friends.

Lily & Madeline half way between riding bikes and fishing

Yes, she makes someone else take her fish off her hooks.  Not sure why she needs a bike helmet and cheetah jacket while fishing either, but heck...

Girls having fun doing a "chopped" competition

And of course no weekend is complete without cake decorating

Halloween pictures

Lots to do around Halloween here.  Of course there is a party at the Peninsula, a Sea Witch festival normally that go rained out, but then Halloween night ended up being perfect weather.  All in all another successful Halloween.

Halloween at the Peninsula with Madeline & Chloe

Some Halloween fun at Dave & Theresa's for Peninsula party #2

Trick or treating with Alex and some other kid

We even found Mary when we were out Trick or Treating

It's a fishing kind of weekend

So the girls discovered fishing. 

No time to change out of uniform, must go fishing

 More fishing... at least changed out of uniform after school

Now for some serious fishing with the expert (my good friend Jerry)

Break from fishing to hit the Bounce place with Mary
