Tis the Season to Wahoo.




The kids have been begging to go to the Winter Wonderland Festival at the Wahoo stadium since it opened up earlier this month. I'd heard mixed reviews, and at $11 each, I wasn't quite sure it would be worth it...the kids however disagreed. The Wahoo's ended up donating free tickets to both Santa Rosa and Escambia County School students & our lovely neighbors donated 2 unneeded to us as well, so we ended up going for FREE!! WAHOOOO!!! :) (<---get it...Wahoo for Wahoo's...give it a minute)

However, if we'd paid $60 for us all to go, I would have been disappointed. The activities were pretty sparse, a few inflatables, a small area of games drawn on the grass (Checkers, Twister, Tic Tac Toe) and of course the main draw, Ice skating. Only it wasn't REALLY ice skating, it was some sort of coated plastic The schedule said there was supposed to be a Christmas movie as well & Santa, but we didn't see either of those. The mini Brandts however really enjoyed it and didn't want to leave (even after they'd done everything at least 5 times). The stadium was decorated very pretty, and if nothing else it was nice to get bundled up and feel "Christmasy" here in Florida!

We finished the night with dinner at "Pizza Castle" aka Ozones. It's one of our fav's...even if it 's a bit creepy....

This is my favorite picture of the night. AB had the most trouble staying upright. Heaven's a natural however. She was so sweet with Annabelle and always stayed close incase she needed a lift up!

Genius.

We still owe Annabelle 2 more AR trips so yesterday I thought I'd escape the "hurricane" madness of Pensacola and cross one off our list. We decided to give Auntie Jenny a visit in her new apartment in Mobile (AU Pharmacy Program...GO JEN!) and let her show us around for a while. We drove around campus for a bit and grabbed lunch at Hero's, which is close to her apartment. It has a very "college" feel to it, and Annabelle felt very "cool" to be out with the ladies. After lunch we headed over to the Explorium to waste away the rest of the afternoon. I love the Explorium, because they change their main exhibits our pretty regularly, so no 2 times are ever the same. Plus, it actually attempts to help the kids LEARN something while they're playing....vs just running around like mad heathens.  Annabelle really liked the kid science area & the "matter" exhibit they have. Especially the soap bubble cloud maker. The poor worker re...

Fish Tale

After feeding and watering the dogs for 6 weeks, Annabelle earned herself a fish today! After much debate at Petsmart, she decided on a pink "dragon scaled" beta & a mermaid themed tank. She has named him Poseidon (we're a bit into Percy Jackson right now...for better or worse) though I personally pushed for King Tritian (I mean HELLO it's a mermaid tank!!). She could not wait to get home and get it all set up. Because we (I) underestimated how big the tank we selected is, we set it up in the girls room...as there is no where else to put it. He has lots, and lots of pink decorations...so hopefully he's not too much of a manly man fish.

Carolers

The girls Brownie troop went Christmas Caroling this weekend at University Pines Retirement Community. They were absolutely precious. Words cannot express the cuteness overload. Several local troops were there and they sang for about half an hour. The girls have been practicing their songs for weeks, and they did spectacularly. The adorable retiree's gave them rave reviews and they were stopped by several people asking them to come back next year.  Could they be any cuter? When we got home, we thought it only seemed fair to get the dogs in the spirit too..... Kingsley the Great Bayleigh the Princess
