Quick Miami Trip

Ken found out one of his good friends from Russia was in Miami and took the opportunity to go and see her.  She was being treated for cancer.  He took Caden as his traveling companion.  There wasn't much time, so he went on a Friday after work and returned Saturday evening before his next early morning shift on Sunday morning.  It was great to see friends again!

Yummy.  Pizza.

It was October.  Too bad Caden didn't have any fun at the beach.

Our Little Hannah

Anger? Not sure what emotion Ava is trying to express here.

A little better

Hannah just saw who was holding her.

Hannah: Are you looking at me?

Fishing!

Ken found a free activity for the family, a Free Family Fishing Fest in Colorado.  The national park service provided a free fishing pole to each of the kids and provided a personal guide to help teach the art of fishing.  We had a lot of fun catching the fish.  We had several bites and ended up catching 8 fish--6 rainbow trout and 2 brown trout.  We started with catch and release, but some of the fish were so badly injured from the fishing that we ended up taking them home for dinner.
