The 4th of July week, we made a trip to Ocean Springs and then headed over to Foley to visit the B Family! What a fun trip! As you can tell, there are many pictures!
;)
Let the fun begin.......
P's first trip to the ocean, well, really his second but he was only 4 months old last time! This time he got to get in the water! I thought he might be scared......boy, was I wrong! He jumped in as fast as he could the minute he saw it! :)
Walking the pier!
Trying to get the salt water out of his mouth! ;)
Ocean Springs has several neat Splash Pads and parks!
Of course you know P enjoyed the water! :)
Poor Moe was stalking P's shoes as they dried! :)

HAPPY 4th of July!!! :)

One of the days we visited the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center! It was a blast and P enjoyed running around like CRAZY while there! :)
Mrs. Brenda had volunteered many years back and bought a brick for the lawn! It was right out front! :)
It is in a old school redone! so neat !
I came to the conclusion this week that this is how all family photos are going to look for a very long time!
Wooden Train outside!
The Toddler Room!
Filling Coal into the Trains engine!
Having Tea in the Train car!
Train set just the right size.....
Catching crabs!
Construction worker!
Astronaut!
Mirror!
Light House of Biloxi
Artist have come through on the beach road and taken trees that were destroyed in the hurricane and carved them and made sculptures! They were all so neat lined up and down the road!
After a nap, after the Discovery Center, we played in the hose in the back yard, but of course we wanted to climb the stairs! :)
Sharing Nilla Wafers with Uncle Jason!
This face cracks me up..... a true boy just too excited to stand it! ;)
Watching Uncle Jason load equipment!
Helping GrandDad B blow out is birthday candles!

As I mentioned earlier, Ocean Springs has a few splash pads, this is another one we visited.... :)

Action photos!
After a few days, we headed to Foley to see Uncle Jason and Aunt Jenn!
our first stop, the Castle Park!......
Aunt Jenn had a great garden.....she was sweet enough to let P pick tomatoes, okra and peppers!
At first he said "Ball" when he was picking the tomatoes and would try to throw them, but soon realized he had to put them with the other veggies!
Watching the planes go over!
Bubbles!
Uncle Jason put P to work washing the boat! ;)
***
One of our days we took out Uncle Jason & Aunt Jenn's boat..... we stopped on an island off of Orange Beach called Bird Island! It was so nice! We just "parked", got out, played in the water and sand and enjoyed a full day on the beach!
P LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!
He even met a friend that was 2 months older than him on the boat next to us!
He never stopped, except to eat some lunch for me!
He had a blast! as if you couldn't tell......
"Whhheeeeeeeee" as Aunt Jenn would pick him up and splash him in the water! :)
Driving! ;)
Taking a break with Mommy in the shade a minute! :)
Aunt Jenn & Uncle Jason!
Our view off the boat! ;)
Do you think we wore him out!???
P really loved Riley! I am sure by the end of our stay, Riley was saying "WHEN IS HE GOING TO LEAVE???" She was so sweet with him! She licked him to death and P would just laugh and come back for more! He loves him some animals! :)

Our last morning we went to have breakfast a The Hangout! It was very kid friendly and P LOVED the sand hill! Thank you Uncle Jason and Aunt Jenn for chasing me around! :)
There is a story to this place....apparently when Jason was little he cried because he didn't want to go in to the bar! so, he thought it would be funny to have his picture with Pierce in front of the same bar he cried in front of years earlier! ;)
P's last dip before we hit the road back to Memphis!
Aunt Jenn let P eat one of his picked tomatoes! :)
Thank you ALL for allowing us to bring our chaos into your lives for a few days! We had such a good time! and hated to leave!
We love you all so very much!!!
:)
