Last Weekend

Last Friday there was a night space shuttle launch. We were watching it on TV and wondered if we would be able to see it from our house. We stepped out onto the patio and the sky was lighting up then what looked like a huge fire ball was emerging into the sky. It was such an awesome site. Then Saturday morning Dale, Taylor, and I ran the Winter Garden 5K. We were all a little slower this time, but it was fun to run one that was so well organized. We will definately do this next year.
Then later that evening we were having a picnic at the park when some Mexicans pulled up with their fishing nets. We watched them throw these nets out into the shallow water and pull in some nice sized Tilapia. We might have to bring our fishing poles to the park next time - catch and release of course for us, but they were catching their dinner.
I'm getting excited for Christmas when I see all the decor in the stores so I have put some Christmas music on the blog - hope you like it.

I have always wanted to see a shuttle launch. I'll bet it was great, next time you will have to go to the launch site and take some pictures. Also, love the lizard ear decorations on the kids in the last post. p.s. we'll miss you on Thanksgiving, Mom was getting misty eyed talking about you not being here for the holidays.

Love the lizard ear shots! My girls didn't think they were real! I told them that if Amy was doing it, they're real. :) We miss doctor to be Amy!

Cool! We used to watch the shuttle launches outside too. We would go to the beach and see the fire in the sky...of course you are closer to the actual launch then we were, so I'm sure it was much more amazing! :)
