The Fruit Grill!!

My dad decided this evening to do a fun project with us all!  So off to the store he went with my mom to get the supplies!  I was quite surprised when he returned with bags of fruit, just because normally my dad does projects with electronics and all that sort of stuff...but not this time!  We all gathered around the table and worked, per my dad's instructions, until it all came together as a fruit grill!!  It was so cute and a ton of fun to do together!!  You should try it as a family this summer! :)

{Let's Cruise}

For my birthday Jerry surprised me with a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas!  Other than a little rockin' and rollin' (literally!) everything went smooth. :)  Each morning started up with a delicious breakfast, followed by lots walking, sightseeing and just enjoying each others company!  We even had time to play miniature golf on the ship.  It was a lot of fun!  Here are some of the pictures from our trip~
