Every chance we get we stop in for a visit with our little cousin, Rowan! Our goal is always the same – see who can make him laugh the hardest! 🙂

This weekend we were able to take the kids to the Florida State Fair. With lots of rides and exhibits they loved it. After our visit to the fair we were able to visit other friends in the area and visit with one of our supporting churches on Sunday.
