Tug Boat Island

We took the kids to a local park called Tug Boat Island, which is right next to the Port Neches River. It is probably the most interesting park I have ever seen. Kyler had so much fun running around and exploring. Uncle Jeremy sure got a work out following him on all the stairs and slides. Afterward, we walked over to the river where we watched some boats coming in, and we fed some seagulls. Then Jamie and Jeremy took Kyler to another slide. I call this slide the "death slide".

Thanksgiving Day

I didn't take as many pictures as I had thought, but here are a few. Kennan started walking the day before but refused to put on a show in front of all the extended family. Of course, as soon as they left she started walking around again. Kyler had fun playing around with the car walker and even pretended it was a train (with Aunt Renell as the caboose). It was great having lots of family to help entertain the kids while mom and dad took some time off! Kennan got tuckered out from all the excitement (Exhibit A.. laying flat on the floor!).

Beaumont Fire Museum

While in the Beaumont area for Thanksgiving we took Kyler to the Beaumont Fire Museum, the "largest fire museum in Texas." It was really cool, actually. They had many antique fire trucks from the turn of the century. He was scared a lot of the time for some reason, especially of Smokey the Bear.

Company Picnic

Clearchannel had a company picnic this weekend at the beautiful Don Strange Ranch. It was so amazingly beautiful. I would love to have that piece of property. Note to self, this could be a nice wedding reception location for Kennan one day.

Trcik or Treat Medtronic Style

Sweet Vanessa invited the kids to trick or treat at her work place, Medtronic. Kyler got to practice and perfect his trick or treat skills a few hours early. Such a cool building and it was nice to see where Vanessa works. Thanks Vanessa!!!

Trick or Treating

Kyler really got into it. Jamie took him out around the neighborhood. Poor Kennan was sick with a double ear infection, so I wheeled her along to a few houses but then went home to pass out our candy. And yes, Kennan had several costumes. Since she didn't want to wear her ears, we didn't use the cat tutu costume but for the parade. Here she is using Kyler's costume from last year. People called her Tony the Tiger because they thought she was a boy. Oh well.

Halloween Parade

Our neighborhood had their annual Halloween parade this weekend. Kyler (race car driver wearing Lightening McQueen) enjoyed walking directly behind the fire truck while Kennan (a cat) enjoyed riding in the wagon and eating cookies. She loves to give kisses too.

Hockey Game

The Roth siblings together again! We all went out to the Rampage hockey game. It was really fun being able to spend time with brothers and sis again!
