We happened to be there when one of the fishing boats just came in from a big catch. We watched the fisherman filet the fish and feed the extras to the pelicans. This was a fun thing to watch. We wanted to go on a dolphin watch but the waves were a little more than we would have like to try. Maybe next time. :)<br /></div><div><br /> </div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_XtQUQdlI/AAAAAAAAATU/5u4p--jBMME/s1600-h/family+vacation+2009+076.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345728455186085458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_XtQUQdlI/AAAAAAAAATU/5u4p--jBMME/s320/family+vacation+2009+076.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_W5j64enI/AAAAAAAAAS0/UJehwFu8RtE/s1600-h/family+vacation+2009+020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345727567095167602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_W5j64enI/AAAAAAAAAS0/UJehwFu8RtE/s320/family+vacation+2009+020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><br /><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_W5dfiOmI/AAAAAAAAASs/-FZRFNRyg-0/s1600-h/family+vacation+2009+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345727565369850466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_W5dfiOmI/AAAAAAAAASs/-FZRFNRyg-0/s320/family+vacation+2009+022.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /> </div><div><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_goZC_aUI/AAAAAAAAAUc/O1mJbO_MAqk/s1600-h/family+vacation+2009+055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345738267234888002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_goZC_aUI/AAAAAAAAAUc/O1mJbO_MAqk/s320/family+vacation+2009+055.JPG" border="0" /></a>DISNEY!!!

My littlest one is leaving her preschool years and entering a new phase of her life. I feel bittersweet feelings. I love seeing her grow and learn and cannot wait to see the finished product of her childhood. On the other hand I am going to miss all of the times I held her in my arms and felt her soft baby skin and smelled her sweet smell. I do not have any little babies anymore but I love the blessings that the Lord has placed in my care.<br /><br /><br />Paige is eating off of the special plate that celebrates how special she is. We celebrate every special occasion with this plate.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_QsDawTUI/AAAAAAAAAR8/wqOjyVjWu7M/s1600-h/20090510_1546.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345720737962413378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_QsDawTUI/AAAAAAAAAR8/wqOjyVjWu7M/s320/20090510_1546.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_QrvBrRwI/AAAAAAAAARs/bzEgw6iYsqg/s1600-h/20090510_1538.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345720732488517378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/Si_QrvBrRwI/AAAAAAAAARs/bzEgw6iYsqg/s320/20090510_1538.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Sisters!

She can't wait. I do not know why. Little does she know that being a teenager comes with more chores and the school work only gets "more fun". :) It doesn't seem possible that 11 years ago Donnie and I were made parents by this little bundle of joy! We love her and she is our pride and joy.

Grace played Mary, Abigail, and played the handbells. Luke was a Shepherd and Harry, part of the cleaning crew. They both had parts in the singing also. The not-so-funny thing was that Luke was sick that morning and still "went on with the show" and Paige didn't get to participate at all. She was home on the couch with the flu. Paige did get to make up her part at the Christmas Eve service. They did a great job!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5855490434038290626-3528320731954297592?l=parksplayground.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ann Parkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18432393081709918014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855490434038290626.post-69486324994056699942008-12-27T23:47:00.004-05:002008-12-28T01:10:36.665-05:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2qkV5nI/AAAAAAAAALk/VepI2WNPjAM/s1600-h/20081220_1270.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284718915649660530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2qkV5nI/AAAAAAAAALk/VepI2WNPjAM/s400/20081220_1270.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2CcflqI/AAAAAAAAALU/Vnl9Q6Y5MMA/s1600-h/20081220_1250.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284718904879322786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2CcflqI/AAAAAAAAALU/Vnl9Q6Y5MMA/s400/20081220_1250.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2iOqj8I/AAAAAAAAALc/H-gYWHzb6a0/s1600-h/20081220_1259.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284718913411256258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFR25IRcDY8/SVcX2iOqj8I/AAAAAAAAALc/H-gYWHzb6a0/s400/20081220_1259.JPG" border="0" /></a>This is our annual ice skating event with the teens.

We have tried every year to make the celebration of "Circle of Lights" downtown Indianapolis. Our family bundles up in all of the things that keep us warm and we fight our way through the crowds to get an up close view of the Christmas tree lighting. We come home afterwards for some hot chocolate or whatever is fun to munch on and think of all the fun things that are wrapped and placed under our tree. Oh yes! Our Christmas tree is up and all of the decorations are hung. Donnie gets all of the boxes out and while I am out of the house on errands, etc., he puts all of the Christmas decorations in place. What a wonderful husband. Our home is busy with the hustle and bustle of the season.</div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5855490434038290626-8314596354351918670?l=parksplayground.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ann Parkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18432393081709918014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855490434038290626.post-73817380027859775522008-11-24T19:21:00.001-05:002008-11-24T22:37:52.398-05:00This is the first posting that I have ever made on a blog.

We are preparing for Thanksgiving dinner and spending time with friends and family. As I write this, the kids are helping Donnie get the Christmas tree up and decorated and excitement is in the air. We hope that you have a very blessed Thanksgiving season.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5855490434038290626-7381738002785977552?l=parksplayground.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ann Parkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18432393081709918014noreply@blogger.com1
