Koi Pond

While touring the historic homes in St Augustine we came across Alice's favorite sight seeing...Fish.

St Augustine

Alice and I took a trip to St Augustine last weekend to visit with Jackie and Dave Scott who had traveled from Granbury, TX.
We took a sunset boat cruise and had a great time seeing all the sights from a new angle and learning a little history.

"Fish or Treat"

The South Carolina Aquarium has a cool little event for the kiddos for Halloween. We met a few of Alice's friends for some fishy fun and another opportunity for some costume wearing. We were missing a duck, a bunny and a pirate in this photo. And for those of you wondering about the little one on the left...Neve was the costume contest winner in her Starbucks Latte with whipped and chipped topping.
Alice was a flower in her pink and yellow tutu and green leggings...I just think she was so adorable!

Unfortunately Alice was not feeling so well on Halloween day and spiked a fever prompting a doctor's office visit. No biggie, just a fever and was feeling much better after a nap and some Tylenol...we went out for a brief tour around the neighborhood later that night and then later regretted that decision. We ended up keeping our germies away from Neve's (the Latte) Halloween party on Saturday...bummer we had to miss it!

I thought it was so awesome that even the big tank scuba divers got in on the costumes too!

Gardening

Alice enjoyed helping Mommy and Grandma out in the garden, look at that dirty bummy and the cool little Alice-sized shovel!

Carving Pumpkins

Alice helped me clean out our pumpkin prior to carving it, she had a good time playing with the goo inside but it was difficult to keep her from putting the goo in her mouth...yuck!

Pumpkin Patch

Right across the street from our neighborhood is a church that sells pumpkins every fall. I remember when I was in college coming out to the pumpkins to take pictures with our friends. Never thought I would be living across the street and taking photos of my 1 year old little girl here!

Alice had the best time crawling over and through the pumpkins...from the itty bitties to the ones that outweigh her by 20 lbs....

Childrens festival

Robert took a slide with Alice at the festival in Mt Pleasant. Alice also got a chance to jump in an Alice sized jump castle...which was fun to watch! And we also got to check out the cool firetruck...
