Memorial Weekend - Part 2

Were doing this in the wrong order since blogger only seems to attach videos to the bottom.



So Sunday we took Kristen to the beach. However we have one of the worst setups down here as far as eating on the water goes... you can't do it and actually see the ocean unless your cool with going to Joe's Crab Shack... which I think is just totally lame. Sure as you are walking down the beach you will see a lot of beautiful buildings serving yummy food and drinks on huge terraces under large umbrellas and you will think - Hey I can eat there! But you would be sadly mistaken because they are all country clubs and you aren't welcome there. (yeah I am slightly bitter about this, and you would be too - they're food is VERY good.) So we heard about this place called Lulu's and it is situated on the inter coastal deep on a road where you would never have found it without someone telling you about it. It was SOOO yummy and very very fresh. We even ordered alligator- which is very good by the way. We will totally be bringing Mum and Dad here when they come (in 13 days!!!!).

So back to Saturday we finally got our golf on. I think we all enjoyed ourselves I made up a video from the footage we took. I was hoping Kristen would get on this because he is the video maker among us but so far nothing has show up so you get a sample of my newly acquired skills. Music choice is courtesy of Uber. Kristen is nothing but a victim.

I think this gives you a pretty realistic sample of a day golfing with us... only I am not as good as I totally cut it to look like... however the chasing and far to close picture taking of the wildlife is completly accurate. Also I take full resposibility for the wrong way shooting... I was leaning completely across Uber while he was driving to catch that... of course I take video the wrong way quite often so really... I am just cool like that...

just trying to keep it real around here. I hope you guys like it... though I will be suprised if you watch it (its not that long by the way)

Memorial Weekend - Part 1

We had a blast this last weekend. Our friend Kristen came down for some fun in the sun and Florida completely didn't cooperate. So Friday we headed down to St. Augustine and goofed off for a little while.

Yeah, so this is a terrible picture of Kristen... but I am cute... and that is all that matters. This picture was taken at the Casa Monica Hotel where we had a scrumptious lunch consisting of Rostli and Caprese Salad. Totally unexpected and very good.

We headed out and walked down through the historica area to the Fort. Here's what it usually looks like -- take note of the moat

Here it was friday...

Same thing again

There was a TON of water in there- infact that was the theme of this weekend... water. I have never seen it like that!

Goof Balls

More of the same.

Close ups because people think walking up and sitting down right in the back of a picture is the cool thing to do.

It was a little windy- and it was starting to rain so we headed back in for cover and ran across the American Legion building which Kristen is a member of so we ducked in from the sprinkles and rested. It was a VERY cool old building right on the river (well across the street which is as close as you get to the river)

And a video... because it's funny... though you might not think so... the alligator oven mitt is a gift from Ubers Mom and it is REALLY fun to play with (obviously) also note that it is 2am because Kristen got in late and we went out for dinner. I honestly dont know the last time I was up this late... None of this explains why he is doing this though... this is just Kristen... and this is why we love him.

Two perfect weekends

Haven't done any crafting, but we are having fun. This is on the Bodensee. We were taking the ferry from Mainau back to Meersburg. It was almost 9 in the evening and still about 75 degrees. Perfect.

My Week

Tomatoes were used for hamburgers

Pepper was used in pasta

Cleaned and hosed off the porch... finally filled in every hole we could possibly find and so far no more lizards have gotten in. Ahhh!!! What a relief!

Sunday this started... and it hasn't stopped since...seriously we are flooding... I am REALLY hoping it is going to stop by tomorrow we have company coming in for a weekend of outside fun... at the moment not sure that will be possible... we were low on water... you should see the river it is CRAZY full now it's not as bad as the tropical storm last year but it feels like it... it's just a north eastern.

I just minutes ago finished this custom order growth chart - terrible pictures but it is going to it's new home tomorrow so this is the best they are going to get.

It's for 4 children 2 boys and a girl (the 4th isn't known yet). Monkeys, butterflies, and a turtle were requested.

I am really digging it.

Butterflies

the monkey.... this had me worried but I LOVE him! I think he may be showing up again.

I snuck in a cocoon and caterpillar. The turtle is hanging out in the grass.

I used my very first tag see it?

Well I am off. Hope you all have a good weekend!
