Let's go to the Z O O !

When we were visiting Jacksonville this past weekend, we were supposed to go trick-or-treating at the Zoo. My sister found out that it isn't the best time to go with little ones because the zoo gets really packed with people and its so hard to even walk around. So, we decided to go the following day. Which was much better in our opinion. We had the whole Zoo to ourselves practically. It was great!


Best Cousins have the best seat for the trip to the ZOO.

Too bad we didn't stomp on those Gators











Lots of Jack-o-lanterns all over the Zoo, this was just a few of them

















Our Favorite spot everytime we come to the zoo. The Chimpanzee's always make all of us laugh. We can watch them literally for hours.












Trick or Treat!

Constume Fun! I made their costumes this year again. Lawrence dressed up like a bat and Madi and Lilli were ladybugs. They were all so cute. We actually got to dress up 4 times this year with all the festivities that were going on. The kids loved it. We definately got some use out of our costumes this year.

My Love Bugs

Halloween Night we went down to Tina's house in Jacksonville. We went trick or treating in her neighborhood with Caleb and Macy. We then went to Caleb's school for a fall festival called Hallelujah. We had a good time. It ended up raining on us the end of the night but at least the kids had some time beofre the showers to enjoy Halloween. Thanks Bost family for inviting us! Oh and Madi even won the costume contest for her age range. She loved that!
Macy the bumble bee

Macy is now walking. So she really got to enjoy trick or treating this year

Macy and Lilli are so cute together, they are close cousins



Caleb was Spiderman, I couldn't beleive for a 2 year old that he kept his mask on!

Family Vacation

We had the opportunity to go on a family vacation with Daniel's side of the family to Pigeon Forge, Tenn. We had a great time! We stayed in a cabin together in the mountains, it was beautiful. We even went to Dixieland Stampede for dinner one night, Dollywood, and let the kids and the adults ride some go-carts. We all had a great time together the only down fall was that the weekend flew by too quick! The pictures below were taken from Dollywood. They had some great Fall scenes set up.



























Fall Fun!

Our fall day at the Farm. We went on a hayride, the kids picked out small pumpkins, fed some farm animals, and played on a playground. The weather was wonderful and it was so nice to have such a relaxing afternoon ALL together!
