Mimi and Poppi Visit!

We didn't take as many pictures as we'd have liked (we never do when we have company!) but we had a great time with Mimi and Poppi here last weekend. We went to Destin for some shopping, Maguires for some yummy Irish (?) food, to "town" to see Reed's dealership, Saint Andrews State Park for some beach time, swimming in the pool at their condo, building bunk beds and Lego airplanes, and just some general hanging out. I'm tired just thinking about it again! The one day I took pics, at St. Andrews, there were storms out in the gulf that kicked up all kinds of nasty seaweed and made the water bottle green. I was disappointed because I wanted them to see how it usually is, which looks like a tropical paradise! The only plus to the storms was that there was so much sea life in the kiddie pools it was fun! The kids caught crabs, hermit crabs, sea slugs, jellyfish (the non stinging kind) and even a few little fish! all with their nets and buckets! They were really everywhere you looked and it's usually not quite so active.



here's our bucket early on. a pretty large crab, some hermit crabs, the sea slug and I think the fish is hiding in there too.
Then at the end, posing with Mimi and Poppi before they went home. We had a great time! Thanks for coming to see us!
