Thanksgiving & More

We went to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving this year. Had lots of fun. Karl ran in his first 6K race Thanksgiving morning, ate lots of turkey, played with cousin Ethan & Parker, and got our Christmas pictures taken.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Yia Yia & Papa's Visit

Yia Yia, Papa, Aunt Katie, Ethan and Parker came to Gainesville a few weeks ago for a visit. We decided to go back to the horse farm. It was nice and cool! Sarah, Ethan, and Parker enjoyed feeding the horses. We enjoyed them coming for a visit.

Looking for the right size! Sarah had to pick out a pumpkin for Mommy, Daddy, and Sarah! We came away with 4 different pumpkins. Sarah could not decide on just one pumpkin so she got two pumpkins!

Sarah and Mommy! I love this picture!

Grandpa Zajicek 90th Birthday!

We went to Bowling Green, Fl a few weeks ago to celebrate Karl's grandfather's birthday. We enjoyed spending time with family and meeting new family Jenny has never met. Sarah had a blast playing with cousins:Marie Victoria, Steven, and Luke. Uncle Kenneth and Luke came all the way from Ohio and surprised everyone.

Gator Football Season!

God's Beautiful Creation

Wanted to share with you some beautiful pictures Karl took of the sunrise at the beach. Karl is an amazing photographer.

The Beach

To wrap up the summer, we decided to go to the beach one last time. We met Jenny's parents in Crescent Beach and spent the weekend. We all had a lot of fun. Katie was there with her two boys Ethan and Parker. Sarah loves playing with her cousins.

Sarah & Parker discussing what they were going to have for lunch.

Here is a video of Sarah, Ethan & Parker playing at the beach. We think that Sarah & Parker have serious talent! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Horses!

Today we went to Mill Creek Farms in Alachua. http://millcreekfarm.org/ It is a retired horse farm, where the public can come and for an admission price of 2 carrots you can see the horses and feed them. Sarah had a blast. We met Babi, Papa, Aunt Bekah, Uncle Nathan, and Uncle Mike there. When we left the horse farm we went to Conestoga's for lunch. A fun time was had by all.

Sarah at first was scared to feed them, then she really started to enjoy it.

Some of the horses were really hungry. Some of them thought that Sarah was a carrot by the color of her hair. We really had to watch out. It was amazing of how far the horses would stretch their necks to get the carrots!

Sarah decided to have a little snack while she was there at the farm. Instead of giving the horses the carrots, she decided to eat them!

Uncle Mike wanted to get his picture taken too with the horses!
