St. George Island Time

This is our third summer to go to St. George Island with Jamie's family, and it just seems to get better every year!!
Ava loved being held by Granddad.
Grandmom on island time.
The kids spent hours playing games in the pool.

Georgia and McCord collecting...small live shells, sand crabs, live sand dollars, sea shells....

Jamie's beautiful sister Lara and her oldest son Connor.
Ava spent lots of time holding a finger and walking up and down the shore.




Lots of creative games in the sand.
We dug a big hole in the sand and Ava loved climbing up the side and then sliding back down into the hole.
The seagulls weren't afraid and even grabbed bread from your fingers if you were brave enough.
The kids loved riding the boogie boards.

On the island they have a light house; we climbed up and could see the whole island - I think it is about twice the size of Kosrea where Mom and Dad are on their mission - very small!

The kids found tons of live sand dollars under their feet out on the sand bar. They are brown and then they bleach white in the sun.





Thanks Grandmom and Granddad we had a wonderful trip!! We miss you already!

Time with Cousins

My sister Emily and her family came to visit for 2 1/2 weeks. We jam packed our days with fun...we went to the circus, the rodeo, the baseball game, we shopped and ate carmel apples, we went rock wall climbing, we swam everyday either at the house or the community pool, the got our nails done, played wii and spy, did crafts, tye dyed lots of shirts, watched fireworks, and my favorite we went to see the musical Wicked!
Yes that cutie in the AU hat is my little Macie - wow she is looking older!


The high dive was the hit at the pool again this year!

Dancing to the music before the fireworks with Aunt LeeAnn.


Miss you already - thanks for coming!!
