Kim's bday

we ate pancakes for breakfast. they were very delicous. afterwards we watched kimalee open her presents. She was given a polish pottery dish, and two cute shirts. Bridger had to help her unwrap her presents of course. As soon as the gifts were open we all began to play fill or bust. I came in second place i believe.

kim is trying to tie bridger up.
















everyone is gathered playing a very competitive game of fill or bust. everyone was smiling joyfully except sean. no matter how well he was doing he still had a very straight grumpy face on.

gulf coast exploring

Saturday dad and i went out to explore the gulf coast area. We went to Hernando Beach and something point. I think it was Silver Point. Its not as pretty as the beaches in Ft. Walton or Destin but it was still nice. The water was very very warm. We walked along the shore and caught some baby crabs.

the long and winding road to the beach.

the tide was way out when we came.

my feet in the warm water.

one of the crabs we caught. this one is missing his claws.

halloween

I carved my very small pumpkin into jack the skeleton king off of "Nightmare Before Christmas". It sure is a lot easier cleaning out a small pumpkin rather then my usual large pumpkin. Then that night I went to the singles stake dance. Five stakes were invited but only about 80 showed up. I met some new people that night that i sat with sunday. The kids were all very nice and friendly. I guess i shouldn't be calling them kids since they are all older then me pretty much. At the dance I actually ran into the Woods from our ward in Panama City. I didn't remember them but Ethan remembered us and his brother Grand i think is in my ward as well. Oh i almost forgot to tell you what i was for halloween. I was a jack-o-lantern. I didn't get a pic but pretty much its what im wearing in the picture of me below, but with a green hat and a black felt face on my shirt.
