Our last trip to Universal.
We have figured out the way for the boys to win the carnival games.
They go to the ones where the winner wins a toy each time.
Then they make sure no other kids are playing,
and they compete against each other.
The kid that wants a toy from a particular game is the kid
that wins. Then they go to another game, and then the other
one wins and gets a toy.
Its a win-win for them!
We got Caleb to go on Jurassic one more time, but that was it.
They love this ride tho. The thrills it offers...
It goes Up and Down. And it splashes you.
Universal has a fun wilderness area to hike thru.
The boys discovered they can squirt us with these creatures
and they really thought that was funny.
Mike had to work in Miami so Caleb and I went along.
Zachary wanted to stay home with Christina
and not miss a day of school.
He loves his new 'special' class.
Its a social class where they learn social skills.
Since Zachary is so shy (until you get to know him that is)
the teacher thought these classes might show him how to come out of his shell.
So with just Caleb in tow, we headed down south.
We stayed at Calebs favorite hotel.
I am sure these pics look familiar since we have stayed here so many times.
Its what Caleb calls the Putt Putt Hotel.
This appeared in the sky over us.
The weird thing is we never heard or saw the plane that did it.
We played putt putt several times.
Even I was making some long shots!

Caleb likes to play store.
He sets up all his toys on the ledge
then sells them to us.
Buy one for $1 get one free!
While I hung out at the beach, Mike and Caleb went to
Palm Beach Golf Course and played 18 holes.
They had a very good front 9.
Caleb had 4 pars
and several bogeys!
Caleb had 4 pars
and several bogeys!
The back 9 wasn't as great.
They said they both 'stunk it up on the back 9'.
They have their own golf language.
They had such a fun time.
Zachary had to make a Monster Friend for school.
Meet WiiBot.
He is a monster that plays Wii games with kids.
He is even holding a Wii remote.
(its one I made)
We went to the zoo this weekend.
We became members at the beginning of summer,
but it has been too hot to go.
Now that the weather is good, we plan on going often.
Caleb giving me a puppet show.
Zachary sabotaging the puppet show.
Christina and I entered a YouTube contest
for applying makeup.
Christina did my makeup, I did hers.

The boys had a boy scout Halloween Event this week.
We couldn't find Calebs costume in time,
so he just went as a fireman.
We have since found him a costume.
He will be Jimmy Johnson, NASCAR driver.
(in fact, both boys are wearing their costumes right now.
As soon as they get home from school they put them on.)
The boys are in different dens.
Mike bounced back and forth between their
dens and me. I stayed at our cub scout
booth and helped the kids play
'Bat' Minton. They hit plastic bats over the net.
The little kids did good. The big kids had us running all
over the place after the bats.
Zacharys costume is Toad from Mario Bros on the Wii.
Its his favorite character to play.
This year it was so organized.
Last years was very chaotic.
Friday and Saturday nights we are going on a campout with the Boy Scouts.
Its at a huge park in the woods, with a lake and a creek.
But its only 20 minutes from our house.
I like that!
