VACATION

These are just a sampling of our pictures from our family trip to Florida. We visited my sister and her family in Orlando and also spent 2 days in St. Pete Beach. We did Disney and Sea World and loved spending quality time with our cousins, especially on Halloween.

Miscellaneous aka A Busy Day

Too many things happened on this day, especially considering it was the day before we left for vacation-- timing is everything.

This is Phin's fish, Moh.

We took some pictures as we walked home from Phin's gymnastics class. This tree is in a yard up the street from us, and I hope to take pictures in the leaves each year (last year was the first), as long as we live here. It is my favorite fall tree.

Ahhh, the look of cooperation...

Silas had his first trip to the ER (nothing serious, he was fine). Phin has still never been to the ER, so I'm pretty sure Silas is going to keep me on my toes. :)

Then we got out of the hospital in time to scramble to dinner with Aunt Linda and Great Grandma Vollbracht at the McLane's.

Phhheewww... exhausting day... tomorrow we're up early for a 7 am flight to Orlando...

Zoo Boo

Halloween celebration at Pittsburgh Zoo.

Indian Summer and Jackolanterns

On Tuesday, we headed to the park after lunch to enjoy the 70 degree weather we fleetingly got to enjoy this week.

Phin wanted to build a lean-to. He learned about them on PBS Kids.

Tuesday evening, Caleb and Phin carved a pumpkin while I took Silas out for a run.

FAAAAALLLLLLLL!

Steelers Sunday!

3D Experience

Last Friday, Caleb took Phin to see the Toy Story double feature in 3D. So much fun. Caleb said Phin kept trying to reach out and grab the 3D stuff as it "came towards him."
