THE TRAVELING GARDNERS

An old post that I never posted - these are pictures from our condo. Here is a little peek into our home on an average day...... Happy Ben loves berry smoothies that mommy makes. Drink up the yummyness! Daddy and Ben watching Happy Feet - Ben LOVES this movie! Ben in the bath tub with his cool shark sunglasses on that Brenda sent!

Our friend Megan works at the Legacy Center (a rec center) down the street from us. They were throwing a Halloween party a few days before the actual holiday. We had to go visit. And yet another reason to dress up? SURE! A fun little twist on our family Halloween picture! Thanks Meggy for inviting us! We had a blast! Lead us on oh wise one....... Yoda leading us through the hay maze! Horray for Halloween !!!
