Wild Monkeys!

Yes, that specifically refers to our children!

 
We recently had our church picnic at Zoo World.







They boys, all four, had a great time feeding the animals in the petting area.

Yummy...
Hey Todd, can we make a fried one for Thanksgiving this year?

Fun was had by all... but by the end we were all very sweaty and hot...
So, off to the beach we went....
Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

MeMe and Foe Foe came for a visit!

MeMe and Foe Foe came for a visit last week.

We tried to keep them very busy.

I am sure that the sheer whirlwind of the Triple Trouble was enough to wear them out!

First, we had a "little" home improvement project for Foe Foe... I will post about that later.

Several times when MeMe and FoeFoe have visited, we have tossed around the idea of going to the Florida Caverns State Park.
Well, this time we made it happen.
I love this photo...

Me Me and Grant making their way down a set of stairs.
Goofy boys!
Stalactites and Stalagmites were every where and it was really beautiful and a nice cool thing to do on a hot June day!

I was really most worried about Grant.... the tour guide kept telling us over and over again... do not touch anything.... there were even times where there were specific places to step and not step... And guess what.. he didn't touch a thing.... I think the low light kept him close to Mommy!

It was lots of fun and we only got lost on our way their once.  Okay, maybe I had to turn around twice and I know Foe Foe was questioning my navigational skills on the way home... but we even made it back in time for basketball practice!

The next day, we decided to head to Pier Park and walk around for a little while... It only took a few minutes before the boys were into Me Me and Foe Foe for some fun!
Ahhh... climbing the rock wall... but not with out some adjustment first.
Didn't realize I caught that flattering shot of Grady til I downloaded the photos. 



Todd and Grady both made it to the top with no problem...
Poor Grant... he wanted to go too.

Instead, we took him surfing.



 And the other boys played along too.

We had a good time with Me Me and Foe Foe.
After visiting with us, they headed to Montgomery to visit Beeka Beeka and Uncle David.
And then onto Tuscaloosa... from what Foe Foe said, it is just as horrible as the media has said,  our prayers go out the residents.

Uncle Cory, are you training?

As you all know, Todd and I are going to do the Goofy Challenge during the WDW Marathon Weekend in January....
39.3 Miles... here we come...


That is if I can make my feet cooperate with me.
Heel Spurs and Plantar Faciitis SUCK!!!!
Todd got me some great Arch Braces and I feel much better.

We had so much fun at our first WDW Marathon... and Todd Jr. really wants to get in on the action of the next one... so, as we told you in an earlier post, Todd Jr and his Uncle Cory are running the Family 5K.

But, Uncle Cory, have you been training?

Todd Jr has...

Here he comes!

Go Todd Go!!!

It even seems that he has started his own running club.

Grady...


...and Grant...


...are now official members.

Don't worry Cory... we'll save them for future races.

PS Cory... don't forget to bring your running shoes to Tampa when we come for a visit...

Happy Running Y'all!
