The Gulf!

Savannah and the Pirate Captain

The kids and I have just returned from a weeklong trip to the Gulf Coast. We met my college friend, Meredith Bagwell Matlock, there with her two daughters. Savannah is right between Ella (6) and Rose Mary (4), so they all had a blast playing together. Trisha, our babysitter, also joined us, so she was able to help with Vince and the girls so Meredith and I could go to the grocery store, or run other errands.

While we were there, we met up with two other pledge sisters for dinner in Grayton Beach. We all enjoyed laughing and remembering our days in the Theta house!

This was Vince's first beach trip and he did "ok" at the beach. His favorite toy always seemed to be what another random kid was playing with, so he would venture over to other groups and "borrow" the shovels, nets, etc. I guess after his wooden spoon washed away, he was looking for something to replace it with.

The "squirters" at Rosemary Beach were the hit for the girls...we were able to use those as an incentive for them to nap, eat right, etc! A special thanks to "Uncle Andy" for letting us stay at his place down there. It was about 5.5 hrs for Meredith to travel from Jackson, MS and 5 hours for us coming from Macon.
