Beach Bound






 This past weekend Benny and the family took a trip to Huguenot Park, yes the beach. Benny really loves going to the beach. In the picture you can see Benny buried up to his neck in sand, he thought that it would be fun to be buried until he dug himself out and he had sand in places sand should not be. So in order to wash off the sand, he decided to go boogie boarding. He loved catching waves, until he wiped out , and he drank half the ocean away, Benny isn't having a very good day at the beach so far. But he is bound and determined to make it a good trip. So he asked me if he can go play on the rocks of the jetties, of coarse you can Benny, so while he was climbing on the rocks we took a picture of him at the top, I asked him" if he felt better" and he told me" he was at the top of the world",(well hes small so it probably felt that way to him). So after climbing the rocks he was tired so he wanted to sit down and try to get a tan, and you can see him sitting in the chair basking in the hot Florida sun. Benny sat in the chair and was watching the people go by and was really looking for a girlfriend but no nice girls this weekend. "Keep your head up Benny shes out there and you'll find her someday". Well it was getting late so we decided to call it a day so we packed up,"wheres Benny?" asked momma, we was worried we didn't know where he was, we looked out in the water ,over at the rocks,we couldn't find him.Until sissy said "I found him", so we ran over to the car and found him sleeping in his seat with his seat belt on so we took a picture of him sleeping.. After the long day at the beach we finally went to the house to take a shower. Tune in next week for the exciting adventures of Benny...............

St.Augustine,Florida


The day started out like any other day. My family woke up from a long Friday night to a great breakfast. "So," I asked the kids, "where would you like to go today?" "Dad," they said, "we would like to go to St. Augustine." We packed up the SUV and away we went. We first caught the ferry from Heckscher Drive to A1A (left).  Benny enjoyed the ride and even saw some porpoises in the water.  We finally got to St. Augustine, where we caught Benny defacing public property (second pic on left).  After a very serious discussion, he promised NEVER to do such a thing again (I think he has a naughty side to him).  We took him to a small church, so he could repent.  If you look closely, you can even see the Virgin Mary in the picture.
