Fall Fun

During one of the kids' half days, I took them to the pumpkin patch.  They had so much fun jumping in the hay, picking out their pumpkin and getting funny pictures taken.  Here's a small sampling of there fun afternoon:

Sorry!

The kids had some half days from school so we decided to hit up our favorite sub shop for lunch.  We love Angies and one reason is that they have tons of games to play while you wait/eat.  Connor played Sorry for the first time.

Where did 19 Years Go?

Can you believe this picture was taken 19 years ago?  Wow!


For our anniversary we decided to update our wills...Doesn't everyone do that for their 19th?  Afterwards we had a delicious lunch at Delicomb.  It was nice to spend some time together during the day, even if it did require us to think of our untimely death...


Happy 19th Andy!!!  Here's to many more years to come!

Vegas Baby!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, unless you travel with your kids, then EVERYONE knows what you did!  



Once we got settled in Vegas, we headed out to Margaritaville for dinner.  Thankfully they offer gf and vegan options so it was perfect for Ra!  The music and entertainment was perfect for a family in Vegas.


Cheers to another year in Vegas!

After dinner we walked up and down the strip to see all the glitz and glam that our kids have come to love about Vegas.




The next morning we headed to Serendipity3 at Caesar's Palace for breakfast.  They are well known for their awesome hot and frozen chocolate.  The kids LOVED it!

K said her pancakes looked like a Hidden Mickey!  

Ra ate the whole thing!  Sadly, we are at that point where he no longer eats off the kiddie menu.  He is going to start to compete with his dad for the biggest appetite soon!

Mom's sensible egg white omelet

Dad's humongous breakfast!  

We threw pennies in the fountain at Caesar's.  Ra wished for a cure for Ebola while Sis wished that the burn victims that the coins went to support would be healed.

Monster Energy Cup 2014:

Trey Canard with Ra.  He was worried that Trey wouldn't want to take a pic with him because he was wearing his Ryan Dungey shirt!  Think we need to display this in Ra's room.

We love supporting #41.  He is our family favorite.  Such a man of faith and character.  

Go Team Honda!

Dungey's autograph line was toooooo long so we settled for a walk by instead.

Ra participated in the trike race in the pits

Sitting pretty on Eli Tomac's bike

Sis got her turn

Might need to add this one to Ra's room.  He has a pic of him on RV's bike too.

Hanging out on the Fox Sports stage

Another year, another trip to the Monster Energy Cup!

Go Canard!

#41

Race time!

Still a Dungey fan, but it was hard for him not to cheer for Trey, especially when he won the first two races!

This didn't take long...Jet lag caught up with my sweet girl.

Jet lag caught up with Little Man too.

I'm so fortunate that our family is able to make a trip to Vegas an annual occasion.  We all really enjoy MX/SX and this is a perfect way to share our love for racing.  Some day the kids will find their own interests that may not match up with ours so for now, we are enjoying the memories we're making together.

Boneyard Beach

I had read about this place called Boneyard Beach a while back.  It's located on Big Talbot Island which is just a short drive north on A1A.  If you go across the ferry, it's easy to get to and a lot of fun!  I have a bunch of really awesome pictures from there and can't wait to go back!  There is a great bike trail that I want to try this winter!

The ferry is the best way to cross the St. John's river when you live at the beach.  The kids love taking the ferry!




Our greeter as we entered the park

Have I mentioned how much my kids love to climb trees?

Is she part monkey?



This is why they call it Boneyard Beach!





















The kids didn't want to leave!  They had so much fun climbing on the trees and splashing in the ocean...all at the same time!
