Bucs via Slingbox

Sunday was Buccaneer Day at the McKinnon house. We dusted off our Tampa Bay shirts and dug our game faces out of the closet. We also thought it would be fun to have smoked turkey legs for lunch just like the ones you can get at Raymond James Stadium. Eating a giant turkey leg makes...

Happy Birthday Allie!

Today is our niece Allie’s first birthday! She had a princess themed b-day party. Her cake had the huge candle pictured on the left.

I can’t think of too many better ways to start a day than with a Gator football game. It comes on at 11:21 (weird) our time, so as we roll out of the bed we will be turning on the tv. Watch out Troy…we’re coming to get you! Oh yeah, good luck Casey (& Loren)....
