For the second year in a row, we went to the Connors’ for Thanksgiving, in Kansas City. Fun was had.
Thanksgiving
Breckenridge
Boulder
We failed to get any pictures of our dinner out with Susan’s friend, Megan, and her family. It was a nice dinner and Lucia and Rose had fun playing with some other kids.
Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park
Weekend Getaway
This weekend Aunt Mary came to watch the kids and Susan and I went to Omaha for a few days. It was the first time we left all five kids for an overnight.
Thanksgiving in Kansas City
This year for Thanksgiving we headed south and spent the day with the Connors in Kansas City. It was fun.Â
Cincinnati Trip
This weekend we made a quick trip to Cincinnati. We left Thursday afternoon and drove home on Monday. Holly’s 40th birthday party was on Saturday night and we thought it would be fun to show up for the weekend and surprise the Donleys and the Beinkempers. It was.
Susan Flies to the Dominican Republic
We dropped Susan off at the airport today around lunchtime. She is heading to the Dominican Republic for a week with her high school friends. It was a harder goodbye than I thought it would be. I was certainly not looking forward to her leaving, but I think I have taken for granted the fact that we have spent nearly every moment of the past 6 months together.

Day at the beach
Today we spent most of the day at the beach. Our time at the beach is interesting because the water is very stirred-up and murky. It is more brown and smelly than usual, and there is a lot of sea-life. Jellyfish, stingrays, crabs, snake eels, fish, and dolphins are all prevalent right now.
The kids are loving playing at the beach. Lucia and Rose are having fun playing at the edge of the water and the older kids are having fun digging, looking for things, and using the skim board and boogie boards.

Gadsden -> Orange Beach
Today we made the trek from Gadsden to Orange Beach, to meet the Herrels and the Reagens for a previously scheduled vacation. We are all staying in a big house just a short walk from the beach.
