We recently had Aunt Andrea, Uncle Marlon and little Marlon and Matthew and Grandma Joan come to visit us from California! We had perfect weather and man did we pack a lot of fun in! Here are the kids all excited to visit Horn Island!
The kids got right to exploring and the island did not disappoint. We saw dolphins and collected hermit crabs!
Grandma Joan with all of her grand kids.
These two are best buds. They both LOVE Star Wars and Legos and even better when they can combine the two. They had so much fun on the island having epic Star Wars battles and using the force to move sticks across the sand.
We miss little Matthew's voice saying, "Amelia? Amelia?" We knew wherever Amelia was, Matthew was a step behind. He adores Amelia and never left her side. Amelia you are the very best big cousin!!!
Using the force!
It's not a visit to our house unless you find turtles in your jammies! Notice the second turtle hanging on the one Addison is holding! He is probably holding on for dear life praying for the moment we release them (which we always do). Actually these turtles have it pretty good because Addison makes sure to give them grapes, lettuce and clementines. I always wonder where all my produce has gone to??
Cute cousins!
We even had a bonfire on the beach despite very windy conditions! We had hot dogs, brats and smores and I think we all ate a bit of sand too.
Getting ready for some tubing!
This is right after Stephen took Aunt Andrea and Amelia tubing, they both LOVE going fast and outside of the wake and they were whooping it up and loving every second of it until Stephen flipped his sister right out of the tube! She still loved it and went back on! Aunt Andrea is a trooper and that was Amelia's favorite memory of the visit.
Uncle Marlon and Stephen both enjoy guns so they took the boys shooting together.
Boys and their toys.
The California crew wanted to go on an airboat ride and see the alligators. Behind the kids were over 80 huge alligators! And one baby to the left of Addison's shoulder.
Heading out into the bayous to look for gators.
There is one swimming up to the boat, right between Addison and Marlon's heads.
Everyone got to hold the baby gator which they loved.
Even Grandma Joan!!
Grandma watched all the kids so the adults could go out to dinner. Thank you Grandma Joan! We had such an awesome visit and hope to see you all again soon.
