Lots of fun outings, an Art Festival, and a visit from the Switch Witch!

Here's what we've been up to lately other than our Halloween Festivities!

We met Nana and Papa in Destin for a couple days of fun! We went after leaving the pumpkin patch. It only took us a little over an hour to get there. It was so much fun getting to spend some quality time with Nana and Papa!

Fishing at AJ's...




Pretending to be Popeye...


Enjoying hor d'oeuvres at the condo...



We went to FudPuckers. Owen loved seeing the alligators and watching them eat.








Nana and Papa took us to the Gulfarium. Owen had SOOO much fun looking at all of the sea animals. Thanks for taking us, Nana and Papa!

Looking at the dolphins through the windows...


I don't know who these people are, but I loved how the dolphin was right up at the window!


Owen really enjoyed the sea lion show. We didn't think he was paying that much attention, but he definitely was! A few weeks later, and he can still tell you about how the sea lions said a "shark" bit them and where their bites were.


The sea otters were funny!


SHARKS!


The penguins were so cute. :)



One came right up to Owen...



"Petting" the clam with Papa...




Snack Break! Owen LOVES Peanut Butter Cookie LaraBars (and mommy too, they are only dates and peanuts)!


All of the different fish in the aquariums...








 Dolphin Show...



Birds...



After looking at the birds, we let Owen lead the way. That was his favorite part!






He loved the "mini beach".




We had so much fun Nana and Papa! Thanks for inviting us to come!

We recently visited Perdido Kids Park for the first time with one of our play groups. It was such a FUN park!


Before falling...







Owen and Nickolis play together so well!


Owen really wanted to ride this turtle.


Owen and Nickolis walking through the "maze".


Owen is just a few months older than both of these sweet boys. They are starting to break out of the "parallel play" stage, and if you watch you will catch them actually playing together....for just a little while. Then they go do their own thing.


Owen has on his "cheese face".


Owen is VERY seriously pushing the pretend buttons to help Nickolis drive this truck.


Sweet, Sweet, boys!


It was time to go home. Owen thought I couldn't see him in top of the spaceship. ;) I love these pictures...




The "Switch Witch" came, and switched Owen's Halloween candy out for some really cool new Little People cars and planes. :)



She made sure to leave Owen some Tootsie Rolls and M & Ms. (his favorite)




Look at all of these cars!
 

Concentrating on how Matt is opening his box of planes...
 
 
Last weekend, we took Owen to the Children's Art Festival in Seville Square. It was SO much fun! It was free to the community, and the children got to make different arts and crafts.



Owen's puppet!


Making a mask and crown with Daddy...
 


This is the day before Owen got sick with RSV. His poor little eyes look weak in this picture.
 




Pouring sand in a bottle....




Showing off his button...
 


Getting a charcoal portrait made...
 

Doesn't really look like Owen...haha!
 


Here is some random cuteness to end this blog...
