While we were at the beach Wyatt spotted a little boy riding a bike just like his new one. He said, "That bike is just like mine, but it knows how to go fast. I want to teach my bike to go fast." After we got back from our trip he worked hard "teaching" his bike to go fast and in just a couple of days he was racing around the driveway like a champ! Now if we can just get Colter to pedal his tricycle instead of pushing with his feet, Danny will have a couple of riding buddies!Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Florida: The Boat Ride - September 20-24
Our flight didn't leave Jacksonville until Sunday afternoon, so on Sunday morning we went on a boat ride with Uncle Paul, Aunt Cheryl, Missy, Liz and Will. The boys got to see some dolphins, do some fishing and Wyatt even got to drive the boat!

Even on the boat Colter still managed to get his afternoon nap!

After spending some time in the water, both boys enjoyed playing in the sand.

Florida: Family in Jacksonville - September 20-24
Our next stop was Jacksonville to visit PaPa and Grandma Emily. Colter kept telling their dog, Candy, "No-No" when she would walk near him!
All of Danny's Jacksonville Family (aunts, uncles and cousins) came over for a family dinner on Saturday night.
Wyatt and Colter had fun playing with Taylor.
Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Paul and Wyatt enjoying some "Scooby snacks."

Florida: Family in Starke - September 20-24

Wyatt and Colter loved the nice backyard and beautiful weather.
Wyatt and Colter loved playing with the blocks that use to belong to Grandpa (Danny's Dad).
We also got to vist Danny's great aunts, Myrtice and Noble.

After two days in Starke it was time to say good-bye and head to our next destination.

We left on Wednesday afternoon for a trip to Florida to see Danny's grandparents and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. It had been a long time since we had been to Florida and we were looking forward to a great visit.
Colter loved watching the planes at the airport and Wyatt loved taking off and landing in the airplane.

A Camera of Their Own - September 19
As most of you know, we are a family that loves to take pictures. Our boys have started wanting to use our cameras, so we thought it might be time to get them one of their own. Colter loves pushing the button and waiting for the flash, Wyatt loves seeing his picture after he's taken it and we love not having to worry about them dropping our cameras!

Castro County Fair: Parade - Sept 7-9
The boys and I rode on the hospital's float in the parade. Danny was on call, so he didn't make it to the parade, but he was able to go to the rest of the fair with us.
The Bizzells rode on the float with us. He is one of the other physicians. Their two youngest kids are in preschool with Wyatt.
As soon as we got on the float we discovered that our job wasn't just to wave and smile, but also to throw candy to every child we drove past. The kids come prepared with plastic bags and run around getting the candy as it is thrown. Here are the boys inspecting our bucket of throwing candy.
Colter has been practicing the fine art of throwing for the past several months, so he loved throwing the candy and watching the kids run to get it.
Wyatt liked throwing the candy, too - except for the Smarties. After M&Ms those are his favorite candy. He quickly started picking them out of the bucket and stuffing them into his pocket. One time he saw me throw some Smarties and said "No Mama! You can't throw the Smarties. We have to go back and get it so I can put it in my pocket!" Several hours after the parade he was still telling Noni how Mama threw the Smarties and we needed to go find them!

Danny got a bike trailer to go with his new bike so that he can take the boys on bike rides. Here are some pictures from their first riding adventure!








I bought these masks when I was teaching. The boys love them! Wyatt's favorite is the owl (owls are his current obsession - he's actually "whooing" in the picture) and Colter loves the lion because he can roar very loudly! Then there's also the bear, the dog, the cat...it's like a zoo around here!

The boys loved the inflatable slide at the fair...
