Fun, Fun and More Fun with Friends in September

Fall is always a busy time of the year with gator football, birthday parties and outings with friends and this year has been no different. September was a busy month starting with Claire's third birthday party at Sprouts (a local place in Brandon similar to Gymboree). Trey had such a great time playing with Claire and the other kids and especially loved the Yo Gabba Gabba theme.

The birthday girl all tuckered out at the end of the day.

A great new bowling alley opened up in the Apollo Beach area and since that is about the half way point to Bradenton, we met Chris, Erika and Isabelle there on weekend in order to introduce the kids to bowling. I am not sure whether they enjoyed the bowling or the arcade more but it was a great time and I think Trey had a better bowling score than his Mommy.

Another outing was to take Wes to the Tampa Aquarium for the first time with Allison and Owen. Wesley loved looking around at all of the tanks and Trey had a great time as always - he kept asking to go and see the scuba divers at the shark show and was so excited when he finally got to see them.
