More Reunion Pictures

(it looks like the videos didn't work, but you can see the thumbnail at least)

Ok, these first few of Ice skating are not from Florida. They are from the Saturday that we got back. Some free ice skating called for a trip around the rink. And that is what we did. We made it around the rink one time.

These pictures are in reverse order. On our way to the airport. The boys loved their little stuffed animals from Grandma.

When we left Sages house for the airport. They fell asleep before we got to the stop sign. Which to be clear is on the corner of Sage's lot. I am not joking. Literally 5 seconds after we left the driveway.

Enjoying the Bounce house. Well, mostly enjoying watching everyone else.

Watching for alligators while waiting for food at Chopsticks Cafe. I felt very good about our decision to rush ahead and eat. We got our food and ate it within 20 minutes. I felt so bad for everyone else who went in a big group where they waited close to an hour and a half just for the food to get to the table.

The snake that was hanging out in the grass at the Museum in Gainesville.

Teddy fell in love with Allie. She was so cute with him and took really great care of him at the springs and at the museum.

The home that I grew up in. Looks basically the same. Florida, well, Gainesville looked different than I remembered. A lot more grown over. I guess I've gotten used to Bunnell!

There was this sign at the creek. So instead we went to the Brimley's house to look for sharks teeth.

Floating the river was so much fun! I could have done it five more times. But there just wasn't enough time.

Pregnant Wendy mowing the lawn.

Classic Randy with the YoYo for the talent show.

Our tradition of ice cream by the beach. We had Chrissy and Family join us in the fun. I'm so glad that we got to go to the beach as much as we did. I could have gone 20 more times though. I love it there.

Sorry Chrissy, this was the only shot that I got of you.

So much fun at Sage's pool. One of the favorite places of our trip for the boys.

Ice cream in St Augustine (our Flagler place is a million times better).

We went on a Pirate ship!

Kim organized fun games that the boys totally loved.

Mom learning that emojis exist. I wish so bad that I had gotten the first part of her reaction on video. She was SO excited!

Goodbye Snowball

A few days after getting back from Florida, Snowball started crowing. It sounded like a baby doll with dying batteries. A really ugly sound. Well it wasn't much of a problem until Friday morning. We sleep with our windows open because we have a swamp cooler instead of an air conditioner unit. He crowed a few times, so I went out and put him back in the coop. He stopped. Saturday morning he crows again, but not until closer to noon. Not so much of a problem. He had been crowing throughout the day and I was starting to wonder why not many people had responded to my KSL ad that I had placed on Tuesday. But Sunday morning was the straw. I was so excited to sleep in and at 6 am he starts crowing. He crowed about 6 times and and I ran out and threw a stick at him. The second I got back in my bed, he started up again. SO out I went and caught him and put him in a box in our garage. Of course after running around for 10 minutes, I couldn't fall asleep and my plans to sleep in were foiled. The boys woke up about an hour later so I put Snowball back outside. Within a few minutes he was crowing again. I sent Oliver out to quiet him, but he wouldn't be quiet! All I could think about was how some neighbor would report me and I'd get in trouble for having a rooster. He wouldn't quiet so out I went again to catch him and put him in a box in the garage. I added him to the pets free section of KSL instead of just the poultry section. Luckily two people texted me during church and one came and picked him up after church. This was very good timing, because he was going to stay in a box up to one more day before either I got someone to wring his neck or we let him go in the woods. Oliver was VERY concerned about the woods options and I was just crossing my fingers that someone would take him. I didn't ask the guy why he wanted him, but he was asking where to get a hen at, so I think for breeding purposes. Oliver was very satisfied and easily said goodbye, but did ask about 100 times why we couldn't keep the rooster.

He was adorable, but I could not stand that crow. I'm so glad that roosters are not allowed in the city. Maybe one day we can try again with a frizzle and luck out with a hen.

Some goodbye pictures (I needed some for my KSL ad)

An update on Eagle. She is getter bigger, fluffier and is still a girl. Whew!
