goin' fishin'

Nothing says fishing like a Lightening McQueen fishing rod...

Standing side by side with your brother who has a SpongeBob fishing rod...

Catching a 4 inch long Sunfish...


and being so proud!

and of course we have to humor Mom for one fun pic!

It's a favorite hobby of our families. We have a great Sportsman's Club we have a membership to and the kids (and parents) have a super fun time pulling out whoppers!

Wordful Wednesday - Celebrities on the Boardwalk!

We just got back from an amazing trip to the beach. These images are from the boardwlk. Vendors were dressed as characters to earn extra money from gaining tips as they posed for photos. Well, needless to say, my children were absolutely, completely starstruck! It's almost like seeing the character validated that they must be real!! I think the photos captured there excitement quite well!

Wordless Wednesday - Petting Zoo

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Isn't it beautiful? The kids were so excited. There is nothing like the first snowfall of the season, especially when you get to build a snowman!

Our Carved Pumpkins

It was a musical kind of evening!!

Everything from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Nick's customized tune!!

Fun in our PJ's

Playing Outside

It was a really cloudy evening, Daddy was fishing, and we were bored so we took battery run Thomas trains outside to play and turned our playyard into a train town.

It was a fun way to pass some time.

Look what I learned to do!

Where's the water?

Just playing.

Bubbles!! One of Adam's favorite outdoor activities.

My sweet boy.




Spill proof bubbles - What a great invention for a 2 year old.

Dutch Wonderland Pictures

One of the boys favorite rides. The Twister.

Taking a Break for a Fruit Smoothy

Bumper Cars - Nick & Pap vs. Adam & Daddy

Hello Down There!




A quick photo before the ride begins.


The Frogger. Ray in the middle and a boy on each side. They loved this and rode it many time.



One of Nick's favorite rides. We had a lot of morning rain on this day so it never opened until mid afternoon. Nick was thrilled since this was the first year he could ride by himself.



This picture turned out so cool. It looks like Adam is feeding the bird whatever is in his hand. Actually, he is standing about a foot away.
