blog

so wanted to give my sister-in-law a shout out. here are some old, sorry b, pics of her kiddos, sweet cousins that they are:-)   she and her husband are considering taking their crew, 4 punk-a-lunks, and moving out of the 'burbs and into the country. she's starting a blog to document their journey. she's a hoot so hope you enjoy.  can't wait to visit ya'll out on the farm, hindes fam :-) so here's her link.

another

just one more seafood festival pic i promise.  this is the kiddo's little everglades city gang taking over the teacups. poor chap and all these boys or maybe poor boys with only 1 chap:-) we'll see soon enough i'm sure

buddies

batman and robin. my goodness.  henry, we are so thankful that God placed you in our lives.  what would batman have done without you. and why yes, those are my old oakley ski googles from 1991 and yes i did just cut out the letter R without even attempting to use the sewing machine, sorry eileen, and yes, that is your leftover yellow polka dot fabric from idaho:-)

festival

so a little late, but better than never,  here's some more pics from the seafood festival.  rowe and chap loved the teacups and spun each other silly. we managed to give our "family shot at the seafood festival" one more shot. 

and a random one of chap that i love. she was riding her own harley. gotta love the seafood festival.  

 

 
and who doesn't love the old fun slide:-)  here are andy and the punkies gettin' ready to ride

family

i think that i have mentioned before that i love bad family pictures.  case in point. these just make me laugh.  thanks for trying, dad.  we had this super cute family pic last year with eileen during the everglade city seafood festival so i had in my mind that this was going to be this great tradition  - a wonderful family pic on the way to festival, every year, everyone excited, a little dressed up where you could really see growth.... and then came this year.  can't blame me for trying.

mom and dad brought down bikes from tennessee for the kiddos and so there has been lots of riding in ole chokoloskee.  rowe is officially off training wheels - big deal around here - and chapin loves to cruise on her princess bike.  here's miss priss
