Cruising

A week before Thanksgiving Jake and I took a 7 night cruise to the Caribbean. It was fabulous. We went to St. Thomas, St. Marteen, and Nassau,Bahamas. Our favorite port was St. Marteen, where we rented lawn chairs on the ocean and just soaked up the sun and swam in the beautiful aqua ocean. When we booked our trip we were upgraded to a balcony for free. Let me just say it's going to be really hard to go on another cruise and stay on an inside cabin. Balcony was THE way the go! The trip was so fun and the kids did great w/o us thanks to their loving grandmas who rotated shifts. So greatly appreciated. We can't wait to sail again!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. The kids were dressed and ready to go knock doors by 5pm. Unfortunately, they got about 4 houses away and it began to downpour! Everyone on the streets went running for their homes. We figured that was it for the night so the kids undressed and we made dinner. Luckily about an hour later the rain let up and Riley and Crew were able to finish out the neighborhood. Beck stayed behind and helped pass out candy. He was so fun to watch. Everytime he heard the doorbell he'd drop what he was doing and run screaming towards the door. I think he had more fun than anyone. At the end of the night Jake and I inspected the kids bags to secure a few of our favorites and then let the kids dig in. A very fun night, but glad it's behind us so we can look forward to Thanksgiving!
