SCUBA Joe




Mitch and I went to refresh our diving because we are going to dive on our upcoming cruise. I hadn't dove for 8 years and needed to "get wet". Joey went with us and my dad got him started early. Joey had absolutely no hesitation about going under the water or breathing with a regulator. He did GREAT!! The picture with his head underwater, he is actually breathing with the SCUBA tank!! My dad floated around with Joey on his back breathing SCUBA. Joey hasn't got the descending into the water yet, he likes to float around on the top. He was so cold and turning blue but didn't want to get out of the water. What do you think, is he ready to follow in his Papo's footsteps as a NAVY SEAL diver?
Mitch and I are getting ready for our 10th Anniversary cruise to the Bahama's. We will be posting pictures when we return!! YIPPIE!!!

Halloween

This Halloween was fabulous. The weather was beautiful, I don't think it will ever be as perfect. Mitch and I took the kids to a friends' house for our Trick-or-Treating. We live on a country road, with just a few houses, so it is our tradition to go to their neighborhood. We also have two other family friends which live in this neighborhood, so we don't feel too guilty about the invasion. Many other "country folk" had the same idea as us and came to the neighborhood. Tons of kids were walking around and the houses were really neatly decorated. The boys had lots of fun. I am not sure how many more Halloweens are left where they are "CUTE". I thought Joey was adorable, but because he is so little, people "baby talked" to him when he came up to their houses. It was a wonderful evening. Thanks to all our friends for sharing their neighborhood!!


These are our friends whose house we went to. Does anyone know where he got those shoes?


This trailer was decorated and loaded with trick-or-treaters going around the neighborhood. Sammy wanted a ride.

This was my favorite decoration of the night. The "creator" hands out 1lb chocolate bars at his house.
