Madison visit, coop and creepy boat ride

Middle of November and the weather is wonderful!!! It is a pleasant temperature outside and we enjoy the cooler and dryer weather. 

We started this part of the month with a short trip to Madison. Alex had a speech in Tallahassee or somewhere up there :-) Marlee went with Alex and me and the other three had a great time in Madison.

Learning about the different moon phases by scraping off the white stuff on Oreos, lol!

We have had as a tradition to always fill and send Samaritan Purse Shoe boxes to children all over the world. Earlier each family has filled a number of boxes but this year we did it a little different. Everyone bough 50 of a few different items and then we filled 50 boxes we all the things we had. Personally I like to make my own box and get all the different things but this might be a cheaper way.

A nice surprise after the boxes were done :-)

Yay, a boat ride in the chili weather. We were all pretty cold when we got home but I would never complain about any cold weather in Florida :-)

So we stopped at an island and it was creeeepy.... It was filled with all kinds of stuff like street signs, dolls, chairs, a toilet and so much more strange things. The boys thought is was so exciting but I was not as thrilled. Just very strange...

Good night and sleep tight!
