Aren chats it up with a fish at SeaWorld’s Spooktacular. He asked him how to spell the word “shark.”

I have no idea what these guys are supposed to be, but their drum/acrobatic act at SeaWorld’s Spooktacular was pretty spectacular. The two guys in the front did somersaults on stilts. Wow.
Erysse plays catch with her brothers at the Kennedy Space Center launch pad observatory.
This little Red Baron may not yet have his pilot’s license, but his imagination makes up for it. Bombs away!
Iden gets a boost from his mother before making a splash landing in his inflatable pool. Summer is far from over in Central Florida.
Aren kicks the winning goal at a soccer game. Just kidding. But he really had a lot of fun.
Aren’s soccer team poses for a photo before the big game.
Erysse and her friend Arianna eye the same jar of playdough during her brother’s back-to-school party. It rained all afternoon.
Aren is a first-grader at St. Luke’s Lutheran School in Oviedo (alas, Florida, not Spain). He’s not sad — just a little ticked off that vacation is over.
Erysse and her great-grandmother Cookie chase a few bubbles together in Pomona, Calif.
Anika, Iden and Isabella hang out at their great-grandmother’s 90th birthday party in Chino Hills, Calif.
Erysse gets a piggyback ride through Heaps Peak Arboretum near Lake Arrowhead, Calif. (Thanks for the photo, Opa!)
Erysse hangs out at San Diego’s Mission Beach. She can’t take her eyes off the surfers. Maybe she’ll take lessons next summer …
Iden hunkers down at an exhibit at the Orlando Science Center. He has a few years before being deployed. We hope.
It’s a long wait at The High In The Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride at Universal Studios, and besides, Erysse isn’t tall enough yet. She’d rather play.
