4-Wheelin' Fun

Daniel and Madison enjoying the afternoon sun and 4-Wheeling Fun!!

Tis the Season!!

December 2008 -

Tis the Season to be Jolly! The kids attended the HT-8 Christmas party on base at the bowling alley and had a fantastic time...bowling, balloons, and Santa!!! Ho! Ho! Ho!

One sunny afternoon in late November (2008) we packed a picnic lunch and went to the Mobile Battleship Museum. The kids had a great time exploring the parts of the battleship....and Yes....Madison is in a costume!!! (just in case the talent scouts were out looking for the next Wizard of Oz lion!! ;-)

Octoberfest at the Witherell's House

At the end of October we hosted the squadron (HT-8) fall festival at our house. We had a pumpkin patch with 50 pumpkins, sack races, pumpkin decorating contests, games, lots of food, and TONS of fun. The evening ended with a bon-fire, marshmallow roast, and special brew provided by a squadron member. The festival went so well... plans are in the making for it to become an annual event!

Pumpkin Patch

October 2008 - Daniel, Madison and Mommy visit the Pumpkin Patch located in Milton, Florida. The kids picked out one small pumpkin and one large pumpkin each to decorate and carve. They also rode on the hay ride and posed for a picture with Mom!

Fun in the Sun!!

The fall of 2008 we spent a few weekends out on the boat. The kids are beginning to explore all the fun places to sit on the boat. Madison has become an excellent navigator....(who needs GPS??) and Daniel loves to sound the boat horn to warn ALL the pirates that we are on our way!
