Clearwater Beach

We took Joshua to the beach for the first time since he was 9 months old. He was excited to go after seeing the beach on an episode of Dora the Explorer. He loved splashing in the waves, digging in the sand, and terrorizing the seagulls! We found out later that Joshua is allergic to sunscreen (or at least that particular brand), but it was a great day!

Joshua's 1st Hockey Game

We took Joshua to his first hockey game-Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New Jersey Devils while we were on vacation.

At first he didn't like the loud noise- crowd, loud speaker, music- but he eventually started to enjoy himself.

Temple Terrace Fire Department

We went to the annual Temple Terrace Fire Department Open House again this year. We didn't stay long because it was blazing hot, but Joshua enjoyed some of the activities for the kids.


Rescuing the dog!
Putting out the barn fire!

A Box of Halloween Goodies

Joshua received a box full of Halloween goodies today, and he LOVED going through it all. Thanks Papa and Lala!


His favorite thing was the glow stick.
