October Ocala Trip

A new year... A new blog post.  I'm trying to decide if I want to keep this blog going or just switch over to using Instagram more.  It's just so hard to find time to sit on the computer and blog nowadays.  But I really want some way to record the things we do from week to week.  I think I'm going to first start with keeping the blog but maybe writing less and just posting pictures and see how that works.  

Annnyyyywayyyy...

In October we went down to Ocala again.  One of the main reasons we made the trip was to see this absolutely adorable munchkin.  Becky and Grace flew in for a long weekend while Ryan went to Indiana University's homecoming.  I told Becky this picture was almost enough to make me switch team allegiance.  Almost.  :)

Here's my sweet 95-year-old Mimi helping Davis get up on the swing and pushing him because everyone else was inside.  He loves her so much!

 Ohhhh how we all love baby Grace!!

That thumb kills me every time.  I mean... so cute.

Davis loves her, too, and surprisingly did not try to tackle her like he does to most other babies these days.

My sisters and I got to have a nice dinner out one evening and Leslie ordered a Manhattan to drink, which she did not know has about 17 different kinds of booze in it and is one of the strongest drinks ever.  Lol!!  Luckily the waiter took it back and brought her something different.

I talked Becky into doing the wine card machine with me.  I spent way too much on wine that night but figured it was okay since Phil was out of town and I had loaded up and driven everyone down there all by myself.  :)

 

Then Beck and I ran a short race that was a fundraiser for my nephew Cameron's school.  Beck hasn't been able to run too much since Grace was born and she wasn't sure she could run the whole thing but she did!!! We didn't stop once!  And we kept a pretty good pace!  Great job, Becky!!  PS She did not run with Grace in the front pack... just picked her up right after we finished.  Lol.

Hayride in Popeye's truck!  Look at Cam striking a pose!

 Box sledding at Aunt Leslie and Uncle Charles' house!

Sitting outside with Mom and Grace... Watching Grace doze off and dying at her cuteness.

And everyone got a chance to ride Gus bareback!

We were pooped after that weekend but in a good way!  Such a fun time!!
