Thank You Christopher Columbus

Today was an extra special Monday.  Ed was off work for the first time in a very long time for Columbus Day, I had to work but only for three hours, and our family was still here for one more day of fun.  We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the beach for the second day in a row.

Please note the ladle that was used as a make shift shovel since we packed all of our sand toys away.

A chubby little man thought he'd enjoy a little snack while relaxing on the beach.

Watching Uncle Dave soak up the sun.

Yep, still eating.

There were tons of boats coming into the inlet, and the boys loved watching them.

Onto reading.  Does this child realize he is surrounded by sand and water?  Nope, he just wants to read and eat.

Nenny, no more pictures please!

Then after dinner it was another session with the pumpkins.  Dylan decided he not only wanted to paint the pumpkins, but also carve them.  So we carved away!!

He was looking for the pumpkin's "guts."

Then we got bored waiting for Aunt Julie to finish carving it, so we had a silly photo session.  For a kid who hates to get his picture taken, he entertained this idea longer then I thought he would.

LOVE this kid!

We had a fantastic Fall weekend with our visitors. Caden and the dogs are absolutely exhausted and all resting well after enjoying lots of fun activities and the beautiful weather this weekend.
