halloween party 2016

i'm waaaay late posting these pictures to the blog.  but we had a super fun halloween party a couple of months ago!  we had a baked potato bar and plenty of sweets and treats.  it was 85 degrees outside... so we had to change the hot cider to iced cider punch!  hope everyone had a scooby-dooby-doo halloween!

pensacola

pensacola was a great place to introduce the kiddos to the beach.  some of our favorite memories from the trip were watching fireworks on the beach, eating cake by the ocean, taking a dolphin cruise, touring fort pickens, collecting seashells on the beaches at the gulf island national seashore, playing boochie, eating at mcguire's irish pub, swimming at the hotel pool, and listening to brax repeat the same line from zootopia "you're dead puff butt (only he says it 'you're dead bu bu') about a million times!
