What We Did on our Summer Vacation

Here are some pictures of our cruise a few weeks ago. I have no idea why this font has decided to underline itself...oh, well!

Below is the girls closing their eyes the first time we walked into our room. It was their idea to be "surprised".

Dinner the first night.

Riding the water slides on the ship

Our date night, after pawning the kids off to the kids club

The girls projects they made in the kids area

Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the camera was foggy from the temperature change

Our carriage ride through Cozumel

One Brave Kid

We were in Tallahassee a few weekends ago for a Winter family reunion at the Tallahassee State Museum. There was a really neat animal show where the kids were able to see owls, snakes, and even a baby alligator. Esther is much braver than her mommy...that's for sure. If you know me at all, then you know I am deathly afraid of snakes. The last picture was actually taken from the other side of the room. Thanks goodness for good zooms on cameras because I wasn't getting anywhere near that huge snake!!!

Pounding the Pavement

Well, I have made the final decision to run another half marathon. Who's with me? The race is the DisneyWorld Wine & Dine on Saturday, October 1st at 10pm. I looked today and we have 115 days to the BIG day and the race is 70% full, so if you are planning to run with me (and I know there are a few of you out there considering it), please let me know.

This morning I decided that I needed to start running again, and it was the first official time running since my last 13.1 miler. Whew!!! I forgot how much it hurts to really have to push yourself. I only ran 3.75 miles and it took me forever! Gunna have to do that a few times a week to get back in the groove! Hope some of you will join me!!

Picture of Lydia

Mrs. Morales, the lady who took care of Lydia while we were gone on our cruise, took a gazillion pictures of her. Here is one of my favorites.
