Fun with Fred...

My brother, Fred, came to visit last week and we had lots of fun. He came with two friends of his, and we went to Cappadocia for 5 days or so. Sadly, after the trip, I realized that of 1000 pictures or so, I only had a couple with Fred. I had a bunch of just Fred, though, so maybe that'll make up for it. We'll have to take lots when we're there in November. Anyway, Fred, I had lots of fun. I love you very much and miss you already. Below are a couple of pictures.

Dolphin Show and Water Park!!!

We got the opportunity to go to a water park yesterday that had a dolphin/sea lion show at it. The kids loved the park and Zeke liked the dolphin. He didn't care for the sea lion, though. Kaiyah didn't care for either of them. Here are a few pictures. If you want to see the rest of the Dolphin Show pictures, click here.

Kaiyah wasn't a fan.

Zeke watches curiously.

The sea lion was quite big.

The dolphin did cool tricks. For more of his tricks, click here.

Evening Fun...

This past week a friend told us about a sand beach about a 15 or 20 minute drive from our house that we had never heard of. Last night we decided to take a little drive and see if we could find it. It may become one of our favorite evening activities.The sand itself was full of little shells, so maybe not the best for building sand castles. But it sure was fun to walk around, play on the play ground, climb on the rocks and enjoy the beautiful sunset!

(This may be the first picture we have of Zeke and Kaiyah where they are both smiling at the same time!)

Oh, and did we mention the up-close-and-personal view we had of airplanes landing!
