Octoberfest! Er... October

We took the kids out to dinner at Salt Grass when the Mosses got back from Hawaii. Look at how pensive they are. Dora contemplating life. 

Eli wanting a roller coaster. 

We went to Keaton's birthday party. Look at how cute it is!

Here's my buddy. 

Sad day though. I sold the mustang.

But look at those friends. 

This is what I'd like to replace the mustang with. 

Galveston for dinner

Carla had the baby girls spend the night so Bridget, Eli, Dora, and I went out to dinner at the Salt Grass. It was really kind of fun. 

Afterwards we went down to the beach and watched the translucent ghost crabs run around. They look like very fast super big white spiders. 

See it?

Family pictures

These are some of my favorite pictures. Look at this little girl

We had some family pictures taken. Here are the behind the scenes pictures. 

Kauai photo dump

Here are the last of the pictures from our trip. This is a road map of the island. You can see where we drive. I wish I had taken more pics driving around. Really pretty mountains. 

The little blue rental car. We called it the blue booger. Cause it's blue. And it performed like a booger. 

Here is the Koi pond. Really pretty and kinda gross. They are just expensive carp. 

Here is Poipo beach. I went for a drive while Bridget made Leis 

Another shot of the Koi pond. 

Hotel view to the beach. 

Beach view where I surfed. 

Path along hotel and beach. 

Agri-Kauai-tural

We went on a chocolate plantation and botanical garden tour. They grew the tropical fruits in site and cacao. It was really tasty and fun

Here is a vanilla bean in the stock. 

Rambutan 

Papyrus 

Dragons eye. 

Passion fruit. 

Pretty. Amazing. Beautiful. And two hanging flowers. 

Cacao on the tree. 

The tasty innards. Actually they don't taste good till they ferment and get roasted. 

The Cocoa seed and some nibs can't versed in chocolate.
