Shrimp Boat Santa 2010

On the day after Thanksgiving, down in Apalachicola, Santa Clause comes to visit riding in his red shrimp boat! Charlotte and Lauren got their photos taken with him!

Thanksgiving on Cape San Blas

As Thanksgiving approached, the we all decided to make last minute plans to celebrate the Holiday down at Cape San Blas, FL. Over the past few years that area has become a favorite escape from the norm for us. It's a wonderful place to go to unwind and enjoy a good book, quite days, the saltwater air, fresh seafood and the company you are with!

This was Charlie's third trip to the beach, but the first time she was actually able to enjoy what all is has to offer! The Thanksgiving meal was terrific and I believe that everyone really enjoyed the trip!

After eating a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

Charlotte holding her dancing turkey, Gobbles.

Counting the pieces of dog food. She would made it up to ten, and even added a "w, x, y Z!" a couple of time.

Taking a nap on Chili's belly... so cozy!

The three of us feel asleep just like this just after Melissa took this photo!

Cousin Lauren and her dad, Dickie flying a kite on the beach.

Charlotte would file the molds with sand while Lauren constructed the sand castle a few feet away.

Working hard to get the castle finished before the sun set. The dark clouds on the right were an approaching storm.

The Car Seat Boogie

Just before we went trick or treating with Charlotte, I was able to finally capture her dacning in her car seat. This time she was groovin' to the J Friends song on her Sesame Street DVD.

Pebbles Flintstone circa 2010

Our little Charlotte experienced her second Halloween, and this time, it didn't taker her long to pick up on how it all works! After two houses, she knew that she had to have her pumpkin bucket, ring the door bell and say "ti'uh treat." If the door wasn't answered quickly enough, Charlie started knocking!

I'm so partial, but dang this child was cute! This year was Pebbles Flintstone. Charlotte's sitter, Chris made the animal print wrap which was wonderful to have since it got a little chilly.

Here are some photos form the evening. I hope to post a short video soon!





After the tick or treating was over, Charlotte pulled out her pony tail. The result was a hair style similar to Peg Bundy from Married With Children.

Labor Day afternoon at Serenbe!

The weather has just been wonderful all weekend, so we have been getting out to enjoy it! Dragon Con parade on Saturday, Callaway Gardens on Sunday and we spent Labor Day afternoon and evening over at Serenbe. We let the pooches run in the dog park while Charlotte conquered the playground. Lots of fun on the slides and swings. We ate dinner at the Blue Eyed Daisy and then stopped off at the Farmhouse to let Charlotte try out the in-ground trampoline. She had such a wonderful time. It's so great to hear her laugh - it just didn't stop!

Goodbye Summer 2010, we had fun!

It's Labor Day weekend and we said our farewell to summer by going to the Dragon Con parade on Saturday and Callaway Gardens on Sunday. Here is our little girl playing in the sand on the beach at Callaway. It was her first time walking in sand!

NOW INTRODUCING ....
