Sharp shooters

On Friday morning we went out for some target practice thanks to Ronnie. He hooked the boys up with a great setup and it was a beautiful sunny – and chilly! – day. Perfect for an outdoor adventure!

Samantha even took a turn shooting and hit the bell target with no problem! Bullseye!

While the boys shot, Samantha and I walked up and down and up and down the hay rows. I think I got 6K steps in which made me happy before the Thanksgiving meal!

Montgomery

We had a great Thanksgiving in Montgomery! The adventure started on Wednesday with ice skating for the girls while the boys were on the golf course. Montgomery Whitewater has an ice rink and it was a nice setup – only problem was the 72 degree temps and the sunshine! I think we were actually water skating instead of ice skating…but it was still fun!

Soccer

We wrapped up a fun season of fall soccer! It started with the travel tournament in Atlanta and then lots of fun regular season games and then more tournaments at the end! Samantha mostly played striker and center-mid and occassionally wing. She’s so good – I love watching her footwork and the way she can navigate the ball around the other players.

Last week the kids were supposed to wear red, white and blue for their state representative to come talk to them. Samantha really didn’t have anything so ended up wearing my sweater and looked beyond cute!!
