not all fun...

I was looking at this blog and its looks like all we do is outdoor fun! Maybe I'll take a pic of me in my room doing hours of grading to show how I really spend my time!

Crandon Park Snorkeling

Last Saturday we went to Crandon park for their "eco tour" of snorkeling and kayaking. We kayaked out to a fossilized mangrove reef. We got a waterproof case for the digital camera. Pam found a nurse shark hiding in the reef! I had fun chasing schools of fish and finding some puffers. Our guide also showed us some edible sea grapes which were actually pretty tasty!

Sunday Morning Swim

This morning Pam and I went to the beach really early (7am) Its a great time to go for a swim without getting the burn. Its also nice because you can be lazy and drive to Ocean Drive and park for free until 9am!

Its still very warm here highs in the upper 80s and lows of about 78.

Back in time -- Gary & Suzie's wedding

In early august we went back to Baltimore for Gary and Suzie's wedding. Despite getting stuck in Atlanta we had a great time at the wedding! Then later that week Gary and Suzie came down to South Beach for their Honeymoon. We had a great meal at Sushi Samba. We also went to Mansion where Pam got a $7 bottle of water.

Jason and Sne ham it up for the camera (open bar!)

$329 t shirt!

Just when you think you've seen enough here is a $329 t-shirt from a store on Lincoln Road

Our "pet cats"

This is Steve by the way doing this post. I wanted to show you our "pet cats" They are actually stray cats that showed up a couple of weeks ago. They are very friendly and follow us around outside. Pam named the bigger one "Sean" and the little one "Patti" Very cute

Sunday Fun

Then later in the day we when with Kristen and baby Iris to the Flamingo Park Pool. Fun!!







Then later in the day we went to the Flamingo Park Pool with Kristen and Iris

It's been a long time...

Okaaaayyyy.... Well, what can I say? It's been nearly two months since the last post! A lot has happened.
Steve and I began teaching at Fienberg Fisher K-8 Center. We have just finished our third week. I am teaching third grade and Steve is currently teaching 7th grade civics and intro. to computers. It's been a tough time for the middle school teachers since 7th grade is new to Fienberg Fisher. Scheduling has been a nightmare. Of course, the worst part is this is Steve's introduction into the world of teaching. Finally, in the second week of school, Steve and I both went to see the principal. His teaching position will be changing - not sure when - and he will be teaching 6th grade math and science instead.
Sammy is still alive and seems to be tolerating the heat well.
Back in August, our former neighbors and friends from Hampden, The Stacys, visited us here in South Beach. We had a great time. Eli and Willow are growing up fast.

We all had a great time. We visited Monkey Jungle as well. Here Eli explains the art of arm pit farting.
