November 15th, 2015                
  
    On Saturday, November 15th, Dwayne, Erica, Donovan and 
Marissa came up from Naples while Grandma Terry came down from Sarasota to join 
Tyler, Drew, Jayden and I for a visit to the 2015 Chalk Festival at the Venice 
Airport. Samantha had a friend at the house, and she had to volunteer at the 
festival (the entire Venice High School soccer team did), so Tara brought Sam up 
later to meet us for a bit. There was a lot of amazing artwork here... these 
people are certainly talented! The theme of this year's even was "Eat, Drink, 
and be Merry", so most of the drawings related to those three topics...
