More Beach Pics

Today we left Aunt Esther's about 5:30 am and headed for Hobe Sound. We got down there around 9:00 or so and ate breakfast at Wendy's and then headed to the beach for about an hour. After we got cleaned up, we went over to Grandpa & Grandma Ruth's for a short visit, then on to Doug and Crystal's for a late lunch. After visiting with them for a while we headed back to Aunt Esther's house. What a fun day we had making memories together.

Family, Friends, Fun and Snow in Celebration

Tonight we met Andy, Hannah & Chastity, our friends, John, Courtney, Luke & Sarah, and a friend of David's from work, Bob, in Celebration for their nightly snow falls. They close off a few streets of the town and have snow falls at 6, 7, 8 and 9 pm. There are horse and wagon or carriage rides around the town and the area is all decorated nicely. We had a lot of fun and at 9:00 got to watch a small fireworks show along with the last snowfall of the night. Enjoy the pics.

Celebration Snow

Weekend Fun!

Friday after Thanksgiving Aunt Esther, David, Grace, Jenny and I went to Hobe Sound to Doug and Crystal's house. That night we went to City Place in West Palm for snow and then went to Gander Mountain on the way back to Hobe Sound. Saturday, we went to West Palm and rode the Tri-Rail to Ft. Lauderdale and went to Sawgrass Mills Mall (a huge outlet mall). We arrived back at Summerfield around 11:45 pm Saturday evening.

Sad Goodbye

Our good friends, Jonathan and Karen, and their family are moving to Kentucky this week. We will definitely miss them. Five of their 8 1/2 kids (#9 is due in the next few weeks) spent Saturday night with us and went to church with us on Sunday morning. Jonathan came down for lunch and then took the kids back home. We hope to see them again on Thursday evening to help them load thier moving truck.

Get Together at the "Ranch"

Saturday afternoon/evening, March 8th, we went out to Groveland to Rick's property and had a bonfire and cookout.
