Did you know?

Did you know that Captain America 
sleeps with his bottle and sunglasses??



Grocery Shopping x3


Grocery shopping at the next level =

* bigger cart
* opened boxes of snacks
  * 2-hours of distractions
* heavy, heavy cart by the end
 * MUCH HAPPIER FAMILY!

OH! In case you are analyzing the photo, I did buy waterproof bed liners.  But not used in the way they are sold.  They are less expensive than puppy pee pads AND far better quality!  We use them in our guinea pig cage :)

Summer Vacation 2013

St. Petersburg, Florida

Our vacation this year was a visit to the Gulf side of Florida.  We stayed in a beautiful resort, walked on the white sands of St. Pete Beach, visited the famous "WINTER", the dolphin, introduced Cooper to the surf and sand, and relaxed as a family of 5!

 Cooper, the TROOPER!



 Discovering the beach for the first time!




 "WINTER", the dolphin without a tail

 We enjoyed hearing about "WINTER"...
