Lets Go Fly A Kite

Looks like a perfect day for kite flying.
(If you zoom in on this Pic. you'll see our kite)

"A Curious Bystander"

As Liv prepares the string, Popeye (aka: cow that thinks he's a hog) is wondering what kind of yummy morsels Liv has to offer him.

"Listen here buddy, this is NOT food, and you are NOT hungry"

Just relaxing in the cow pasture.

(The only place to fly a kite without electric lines.)

SNAKE SKINNING

(Warning: Thabeth Tuba and Mrs. Stokes, you might not want to look at the rest of this post.)

There's a problem!!!

"No Problem"

While out in the garden picking broccoli, the littles spotted a Cotton Mouth Moccasin hiding, waiting for prey. Ariana used her handy dandy tool (the hoe) and took care of the problem. Living by the swamp, we see many of these venomous snakes. They like to hide, and they blend in well, so you really have to be on the lookout for them.

Just because it is dead, doesn't mean it's harmless. It can still inject it's venom in its prey long after its dead.

DON'T TOUCH!!

Liv, processing the snake for skinning.

"Whoa, is it just me or is there a snake at my feet?"
The End
(Btw: The snake in this pic is NOT alive. We might be crazy, but we're not stupid:)
posted by mom who thinks these snake pics are gross.

"Antique Christmas Stroll" (Dade City)

Each year in December we go to Dade City and enjoy a Christmas stroll through

the antique district and then go to the Village Inn afterwards. We always have

such a grand time. This year was no exception :)

This years crew.

(Minus Ariana who is taking the picture and Haley who is waiting to be picked up.)

Liv's present from Julia.

(I think she liked it, don't you?)

We're ready to find some "antique" presents.

"What about these?"

This is supposed to be a snowman??

Maybe a satanic one!!

CREEPY

Okay, back to shopping.

The Town Square

Enjoying Java at the "Gathering Place".

And some yummy baked goods, made with all natural ingredients.

The "Gathering Place" is a christian Gathering place with live music, coffee, tea and snacks,

where you can just come, relax and enjoy (or not, depending) the music. The night we were

there, they gave us a plate full of brownies, muffins and baklava FREE!! Nice People.

The Gang topping the night off relaxed at the "Gathering Place".

Now it's time for dinner at "Village Inn".

"I've had a wonderful time, how bout you"?

We enjoyed sharing the night with you.

Hope you enjoyed it, too!!
