Columbus Zoo – Summer 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’ve been way to busy, but hope to add a few posts over the coming week. We went to the zoo earlier this summer with some friends and had a great time. Leopard pictures came out great!

Cocoa Beach Family Pictures

On Tuesday of this week, we had a number of family pictures taken on the beach. It was very hot even at 8:30 in the morning, so the session didn’t last too long with the kids getting antsy, but we did get a few good shots.

Cocoa Beach – Update 3

Well, we just made it back to OH this afternoon. Although we had a great time, it feels good to be back. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. The last few days of Cocoa were filled with golf, pool, beach and more sun. On Thursday, the fam split and everyone did there own thing. Gary went to Ft. Lauderdale to visit his friend, Kristin/Jason, the kids & Grandma went to Disney, Jarod and I played golf and Katie & Kari caught some sun.

Bailee was extremely excited to see us and Logan also seemed to miss Bailee. Time to unpack. I have a tee time at 3:00…

Cocoa Beach – Update 2

Yesterday, we enjoyed another day playing in the sun. Logan enjoyed sitting on the beach and playing with the sand. He was unsure of the ocean, but we think that is because the water is much cooler than he is used to. We spent the majority of the day in the pool.

The fam went to dinner at Sunset Grill on the banana river. It’s a tradition that we visit this establishment each time we’re down here. The views are great and you can pretty much guarantee dolphin viewings. We saw a few of them last night. Dinner was good, although it was extremely hot eating outside on the porch. The evening was topped off with a visit to the DQ for a couple blizards. Yummmmm….

This morning (Tuesday), we have arranged for a photographer to take a family pic on the beach. It should be interesting, considering we have 3 babies, 3 kids and it’s supposed to be a record heat day – around 97. After that, we plan to head to the beach to boogie board, then we’ll end up at the pool before lunch. This afternoon we may head back to Ron Jon’s since we didn’t have a chance to spend much time there on Sunday. Dinner will be at Rusty’s down by the marina, another traditional dinner stop. We usually get there in time to see the boats come in for for the day with there catches.

That’s all for now.

Pics from Dad’s Retirement Party

Here are a few pics from Dad’s retirement party. I had more, but lost some in a hard drive crash before they were backed up…bummer.
