Elder Steenblik's 1st Area - Orlando

It's neat to have the Temple so close, as a matter of fact it's in my Zone. We get to go to the Temple once a quarter and boy do I look forward to that. From l to r my companion Elder Fowers, he's the greatest, me, Elders Willmore & Knowlton they are the Zone Leaders and our apartment mates.

Go Figure! What?

We went to Gatorland on our P day. The other Elders, as you can see, were trying to get in and wrestle with the Crocks. They tried to get me to join them, NO Thanks! They did feed them Hot Dogs and gators would jump up and take them.

At Transfer, my 1st. Elder Fowers is moving on and I am saying to train a greenie for the MTC. Now I have to put forth a greater effort, I now have to led out.

Our Sweet Sydnie???

Sydnie loves hats!!! The new thing that she does. I think she is trying to do a somersault, but I'm not sure.

Meet Nala

Our Christmas Tree

Our white tree! Saturday we went to put up the huge tree we have a had for a few years now and it was too tall for our ceilings. So, we had to buy an new one. We decided to go with something different, so we got this cheapy from Walmart. It works...I guess.

Snow Day!!!

Lance was especially excited when it started snowing last night. All he wanted to do today was play outside. Lance, Sydnie and I made a really cool snowman, but Lance destroyed him before I could take a picture. By the way this is Nala. The kids are having a lot of fun with her. She is a pit bull mix and the sweetest dog.

Sydnie loved the snow. She did not want to come in.

Syd got really excited when she discovered the you can eat the snow. She would pick up balls of snow, hold it up and say "nnoow" and then eat it. I had to watch her to make sure she didn't eat the yellow snow.

We missed you guys

It wasn't the same without you guys. We had Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday....had to wait for the chef to be able to cook.

Thanks for the Turkey thought Megan & Joe...... instead we had a chicken. Jacob must be in growth spurt mode, he downed 2 wings, 2 thighs and 1 leg--Wow!

We all went around the table and said what we are thankful for. Family was top of the list. Happy Thankgiving.....you all were missed.

Megan & Joe's Hawaii Trip

HAWAII

These are a little late...but this is from our trip in September to Maui with Grams and Papa.

The day we got there Grams insisted that we go see the first LDS church on the islands. On the way, Papa got REALLY lost (He said it didn't qualify as lost because he never had to turn around). We got to see some really beautiful views and some really pretty flowers along the way.

Here we are at the church house...FINALLY!

Our favorite thing we did in Hawaii was take a day trip over to Lana'i to golf at The Experience at Koele.

This is Joe and I waiting for the ferry at the harbor in Lahaina...

...and here we are on the ferry.

The ferry ride on the way there was nice and smooth, but on the way back the captain said "we are probably going to have some choppy water so those of you sitting in the back out in the open might get a few sprinkles" Luckily on the way back we were a little late getting to the ferry so we could not get an outside seat, because the people who sat out there got DRENCHED! It was pretty funny to sit inside and watch them just get more and more wet!

Joe's CRAZY swing....on the AMAZING 17th hole!

Aren't Grams and Papa super cute?! Again...the AMAZING 17th Hole.

Needless to say we had a really great time...but how can you not...it's HAWAII!
