Grandparents are in the house!

Luke's Nanny and Papa came for a long weekend and we had a lot of fun but it seems like we didn't stop moving the whole time.

We visited the Mote Marine Aquarium on Friday. Some things never change...Luke still doesn't touch the ground much when he is with his grandparents!


America's Next Top Model here we come...would it be too much to ask that we all just look in the vicinity of the camera??!
The official entrance...

Not to toot my own horn, but I think this is a fine picture if you ignore the reflecting glare of the overhead lighting.

Those clever aquarium people put "Dori, Nemo and Marlin" in the same tank. It was basically parents elbowing each other to get a picture of them all together.

Mickey hat, Vegas hotel t-shirt, plaid shorts and crocs...believe it or not he is a local!

Oh the Ragas' love to put our heads in holes!

Checking out the sharks with Nanny. I once caught a fish THIS BIG!

Everyone's favorite marine mammal.

Stopped for lunch at the Sarasota Marina.

We took advantage of our babysitters and had a night on the town with Steph and Jeff. Synopsis of the evening: it is obvious we don't get out much!

Everybody all together...awwwwwwww
Wrong way Jeff, Steph why is your face so white, wake up Todd and Brooke close your mouth! Yep, that is all I have to say for this one...

Anyone else laughing out loud right now? Calm down back there boys.

My favorite picture in a long time. They both look so happy who would have thought all it took was a shopping cart?

Hey, you are not Stephanie...

The next day we took Luke to the Pumpkin Patch in Sarasota. I was so pleased to see all these boxes of bees in the parking lot.

While waiting for the pony rides Luke spotted this baby goat off by itself and decided it needed to be pet. I was so proud of him for a) not being scared to approach the little guy and b) touching it gently, unlike the way he drags Kona to the ground head first while giving her a "hug" sometimes.

Who is having more fun?

Those Ragas' still love putting their heads in holes and now we have influenced others!

Just sliding.

Train ride and sassy Todd in the background. Thanks for the pose! Notice the caring mother who rode with her child, we just allowed Luke to go around the pumpkin patch in an open moving vehicle unattended.

As we were leaving we took a few pics of Luke and the pumpkins which turned into Luke climbing all over them, stopping to look at the camera and waiting for me to take another picture. It got out of hand and we may have had one pumpkin casualty. But hey, he looks cool.

That is the one...we chose the Ragas Family Pumpkin 2010! This is just the precursor to choosing the Ragas Family Christmas Tree 2010 (also known as the day Brooke and Todd might not be speaking to one another).
