Kat and Mike took a 5 mile kayak trip down the Santa Fe River. We started at Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park and had fun paddling our way to the Santa Fe River Park. On the way we hit the tiniest stretch of whitewater rapids!
For Mike’s 35th birthday, we just relaxed in the evening after work. I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (it was a hit!) and Mike tinkered with his new 3-D Printer. My parents called to wish him a Happy Birthday, and we’ll have Mike’s family over on Sunday to celebrate.
After taking a walk, Kat stopped by Chris and Donna’s house for lunch. Taz fetched a stick and got it jammed in her throat. She had a good bit of blood and was cowering but a couple minutes later she was running around normally. After a few hours, she was having a hard time breathing, wasn’t drinking, and wouldn’t want to get up. We brought her to the emergency vet at UF and they found holes in the back of her throat. They sewed them up and kept her overnight. Taz did well and is on a soft food diet for a couple weeks but otherwise is doing fine.
Everything went well at the doctor. The due date is still set for Sept 14th and we’re so excited!
We had a relaxing day and went out to Ember’s with our friends for our traditional dinner.
We spent a week in Manhattan, NY and stayed with our friend Kara in her smaller apartment. We loved it and did a lot of fabulous things! We can’t wait to go back.
We saw Miss Saigon at the Broadway Theater, went ice skating at Rockefeller, viewed the skyline on Top of the Rock, and played in the snow in Central park.
Chris, Donna, Kat, and Mike went down to the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida to see Rhett and Link Mythicality Tour. First, we had an early dinner and then got in the long line for the show. It was packed with many, many mythical beasts with less than standing room. Afterward, we walked around the shops and had ice cream even though it was cold.
Getting our Christmas tree decorated is an event. We have hot chocolate, music, and Tazzie!
We brought Taz with us to Greeneville this year for Thanksgiving. Jax was lively being able to walk and all. Michelle won croquet for Julius!
