Halloween as Bad Guys (Again)

Halloween brings out the dark side of the family at times, and like in years past, we went for a bad guy theme. We did Marvel proud and gave it our all as Dr. Doom, Scarlet Witch, Venom and Thanos. There was a little rain but that didn’t dampen spirits in the grand quest for…

A Final Midwest Day

Our third day in Chicago showed no rest for the weary with continued amazing eats and fun times with friends. Oh, and we also did a little sightseeing!

A Poke-Ball Blast!

A Decade of PACE

For the past decade, we’ve seen babies grow into full-on tweens. Yet, it seems like all in a flash! From their first couch picture to their most recent soiree, the PACE friends always seem to have a good time!

Vineyard Round Up

There were so many adventures during a week on the Vineyard; here’s a roundup of everything we didn’t already cover!

MV Beach Day

It’s not a trip to Martha’s Vineyard without a visit to the beach. We had an exciting one, with breakfast at the airport, wave riding, a shark sighting and all the sun we could take in. South Beach never disappoints!

Fishing Expedition

In a family first, we ventured out on the Skipper for a fishing expedition in the waters around Martha’s Vineyard. We faced a little rain but that didn’t stop the excitement of reeling in a big one. Everyone had the chance to catch a “keeper”, helping others eat a fish feast that evening!

Up Island

With friends in tow, we saw some of the best parts of Up Island on the Vineyard, including Aquinnah for some views and lighthouse climbing, and Menemsha Hills for a 3-mile hike to the beach and back. Needless to say, we wore the kids out after a couple of days!
