Back in October we had the best visit with Phil's dad and stepmom! We love spending time with them and always have so much fun! We rented a pontoon boat one lovely afternoon...
I stayed back home while Davis finished up his nap and then they stopped back by and picked us up when he woke up. Then as soon as we took off again J and E fell asleep!
The boys LOVE their Nana!!
We parked at the jetties again and the boys had the best time climbing up this "cliff" and jumping/running down into the water.
When we came back to dock up this big bird was standing here next to some men who were cleaning fish. The boys ran up and were saying, "Hi, bird!!" and then he started to slowly side-step away from us. It was so funny!
Davis had thrown Jackson's flip flops over the side of the boat at some point (he also threw his bink overboard at the Navy base marina and we had quite the time manuevering the boat and leaning over the side to retrieve it out of the water. We thought for sure it was lost at one point but we managed to get it!). Anyway, J really wanted to walk home with Nana, but since he didn't have his shoes he wasn't sure if he should do it in bare feet. I told him he would either have to ride in the car or "suck it up" and be tough and just walk in bare feet. He said, "I'll suck it up" and walked back. Emmett wanted to join, too. :)
Chris and Charlene stayed with us for a few days and then we all went over to Destin to stay with Charlene's parents and go to the Destin fishing rodeo for a little bit. Yummy corn dogs!!
Nana took Reid to get his face painted and this is what he picked. He looked SO cute!!
Watching a fish get weighed...
Reid really wanted a sip of my beer...
When we got back to the house Reid sat on Papa Chuck's "tractor" almost the entire day, and then Papa Chuck gave him a ride in the afternoon. He was in heaven...
Here Reid accidentally started the tractor moving forward when he wasn't ready. Lol!
Juilene and Chuck have this fun game in their backyard where you try to swing this string with a ring on the end and catch it on a hook that's stuck in that tree there. It's fun but not easy to do, but Jackson was awesome at it! He hooked it three times!
The boys were SO zonked after our long, fun day and fell right to sleep...
Unfortunately, Davis was tired, too, but he woke up around 1 AM (he was in the same room as Phil and me) and would not go back to sleep. He was babbling and throwing his bink out of the pack and play and we just knew it would take forever for him to fall asleep again. So Phil decided to drive back home with Davis and let me stay there with the boys. It was an hour to get home and we knew it would have been more than an hour for Davis to go back to sleep so we figured that was the best choice. Ugh!! It worked out okay, though.
The next morning when the big boys got up they were so excited to find a crab in the crab trap!!
Checking the bait bag.... Mornings on the water are so great.
We stopped by and visited the big fish at Bass Pro Shops before heading back home. Davis LOVED them!
Reid and Davis were SO tired!! They had had so much fun!! They passed out quickly after we got into the car.
It was so great to see you, Chris and Charlene!! We love you!!
We are all so excited about our upcoming trip to visit them in Denver in January! The boys are counting down the days and praying for snow! :)
