Our last night out in Florida

Of course topped off with Cone Heads for dessert

This might be the first year that some berries got in the bucket and not just in the mouth

Fun at the berry patch climbing "Bear Mountain"

We missed you, F & Q!  

Yogis

Little pizza chefs

Mmmm...strawberry yogurt stars.  I knew we'd get some goodies from all that hard work at the patch.

What a great season, Cubs!  Let's hope the real Chicago Cubs can do as well this season.

Ice cream cones for breakfast?  What a treat!

Final baseball game of the season!

Round 2 for peppers...stay away all you sneaky snooks.

Cooling down at the water table.  Nashville is hotter than Florida.
