Military Ball

Taiason went to Savannah for two days so that she could attend Brandon's military ball on September 15.  This is their 3rd year going together and they have plans on attending his final one together next year.  They are best friends and met when we moved to Savannah.  About a month after being there, Brandon's mom, Marisa, came and asked me if I thought Taiason would be willing to go with Brandon, he didn't know many people as he was a Freshman in a new school and also their family is kinda picky about who he hangs out with.  His mom had been looking at our family and knew that we had similar values.  Brandon and Taiason hit it off and have been best friends ever since.  Teighlor is also friends with Brandon.
She was excited to ride the Amtrak for the first and get to go stay with her friend and his family. Because it was 2 weeks before her 16th birthday we had to revise the ticket we purchased for her and have her go as an unaccompanied minor.  Thank goodness it was only an extra $24.


At Star Castle putting in some roller skating time.

Ready for dinner and the ball

Blizzard Beach

Our Blizzard Beach adventure...the kids really loved the waterparks, I know they wouldn't mind making this a tradition.






























He loved dancing around all the water that was shooting up...


he would just circle and circle around, stomping.


Yep it wore him out!!





can he make it across?


Success!!! he did it!
Sam wanted to ride the chair lift to the top of the mountain, but he chose to walk the stairs back down, Taiason took the slide.
With Aamerik asleep, I had time to just enjoy the sun and relax...yeah, I could handle living like this all the time. :o)
