Our trip to Florida

We drove down to Florida the 18th of October, to see Daddy and Gran. We took our new van so that David could see it. We stayed with him for the weekend, and took Nathan bowling for his very first time. He had a lot of fun. The first time he rolled the ball it went right into the gutter and slowly rolled down. It was rolling so slow that about 3/4 of the way, the ball stopped and we had to get someone to come get it for us.





Nathan was very interested in the ball return. He thought it was magic. He would roll the ball down, then it appeared back on the rack. He kept saying "abra ca dabra".

Nathan had the lightest ball they had, 6 pounds. It was still pretty heavy for him but he didn't want any help.

AJ had a good time just sitting there watching everything.

On Sunday we drove down to Punta Gorda to see Gran (David's Grandma), she just got back to Florida (she spends Summers in Calgary, Canada and winters in Florida).
We went to a old train depot that had some train stuff for Nathan to look at. It was an antique shop too, so we didn't spend much time in there.
Gran's birthday was on the 25th, so we were there to celebrate with her. The above picture was the only picture taken from her birthday party. We invited some of her friends over for a pizza party. Nathan was excited because Gran let him blow out the candle on her cake.
The weather was so nice that Nate decided he wanted to play in the pool- except mommy forgot to pack any swimming stuff.

On our way back we stopped and saw daddy again for a night. We played at the park and the lake beach there at Camp Blanding. Nathan was having a lot of fun, until he fell in the water. It was funny, but he didn't think so.
Hooray! Daddy comes home on Saturday!
