Jared's vacation....

Jared has landed a few commercial contracts which have taken him out of state.....In fact, this is the view he gets to look at while he works at areally swank hotel ($3000.00/night).....my older children understand that he is still "working" but my dear Chloe thinks dad is on vacation, which if you put all of the information together it spells vacation to me too!! riding an airplane+ staying at a hotel+ Miami Beach is the location+ getting to do what ever you want after hours = vacation...... if he can land a fun one in the summer time, maybe we can join him at "work"

Jacob kicks the ball into the net while he practices with his team before a game...

Megan is on the side throwing the ball in (note: we left our team shirt at a friends house, the shirt she is wearing is Travis' from last year :) )

Travis sharing some goodies from his spirit bag after a game.....

This is what Chloe did the first half of the season(the entire game), if not sit and pick grass, she begs the coach to let her be the one who sits out......To Chloe's credit, there have been 3 or 4 instances, where she has made contact with the ball during the game, and does seem to "participate" for a few more minutes as each game passes....

Chloe and her fellow Pink Panthers!!
