Here are some pictures from various trips & outings of the family.
Above and Below: Mom and Dad escape for a few days, enjoying a Caribbean Cruise - all by themselves - with none of us kids to keep them company.
Ok now. Schools out so let's go somewhere. Like maybe the home of the mouse.
Please......
Ok, here we are now in Orlando and one of the first souvenirs that was acquired was Blake's "Buzz Lightyear" helmet.
Here is Blake and Kate on a ride with Mom, and so far Blake still has his Buzz helmet.
Here is Blake with Daddy and you can see that Daddy is "admiring" Blake's Buzz helmet.
As one would expect, Daddy finally got his turn with the "Buzz" look.
Meanwhile, Blake has moved on to become a "bongo" player.
Now, for a relaxing bus ride through the Wild Kingdom park with Daddy, Kate and Sloane.
This is fun. What's next? Blake and Kate ready for the next adventure.
After all that, time to go home for a rest. Here are Blake and Kate snoozing on top of one of the dogs, which looks bored with it all.
Here Kate has moved from the doggie pillow, on to the couch to continue her nap.
But... not to be outdone....
Blake has moved from the doggie pillow on to a different approach - using the arm rest for a pillow and napping on the living room end table.
Well, whatever works.
Now that we are back home, time for some projects at Home Depot. Here is Dad and Papa working with Kate and Blake on a project.
Dad and Blake preparing for the finishing touches, more or less.
Look! It's a bird house, as Dad fits the roof while Kate is looking over Papa's shoulder at their project.
Now, back on another trip somewhere, here is daddy and Sloane waiting for something to happen.
Dad on the beach at sunset, watching something.
Daddy with the "A" Team, ready to do somewhere else - probably the pool.
Daddy and Grandpa on the beach, both looking a little strange.
Blake, Dad and Grandpa - on another bus - going somewhere else.
Note Dad and Blake in their "buddy shirts".
Oh oh. Looks like Sloane is in trouble. Looks like Dad has something in mind for her.
Yep, Sloane has Dad's baseball cap and looks like she is going "swimming" or something like that.
In a more relaxed setting, Grandpa has his cart and Blake and Kate are trying to catch a ride. Dad is behind, trying to ignore all four of them.
