Im sure all the kids would agree Grandma is a Hoot! You just never know when she is going to crack up. The first picture here - Grandma just squirted suntan lotion all over her pants. At least we know they won't get a sunburn. Nick brought his skim board and we found the perfect place for him to use it. A river ran into the Gulf and made for great skimming.
We all had a great time looking for hermit crabs. Well, all kinds of little creatures really. Grandma and Grandpa set up camp and we worked around them and showed them all our great finds. 
The temps got up to 101 today - but as long as we were in the water or at least had our feet in the water it wasn't bad. If all else fails - put a towel over your head.
Our Sunday started out with Dad and I sitting on the back deck talking and watching the Cardinals and Blue jays and Woodpeckers have their breakfast at the bird feeders. Soon Mom and Lar and Nick joined us with their breakfast and we enjoyed the cooler morning temps while we visited. Pretty soon it was time to get ready for church. We were out the door about 8:45 headed to Sunday school. It was a great time at church, I enjoyed going to the women's Bible study class with my Mom. Mom thought the ladies in there were very nice and involved. After church we headed home and started getting ready for lunch. Cliff and Carol rolled in about 12:30pm and lunch was ready to be served. Mom made a great roast and Carol added a Coconut cake for desert. It all went down easy. After lunch the kids took turns entertaining us with their various talents. Just what every Grandparent loves. Now we are relaxing and taking it easy until next time to eat. 
Mom and Dad flew into town Thursday morning after flying all night. Anchorage to Gulfport is a major hop. They left nice mild weather and walked out into hot and humid weather. Up until last week we were enjoying a nice long mild Spring. That is all history now and the temps are close to 90 and the humidity is doing its thing. That hasn't stopped us from getting out and playing though. Last night we went to the Blues Fest in down town Picayune and today we drove about 30 mins north to the Blue berry festival. They had a ton of great booths and we enjoyed looking at everything. Mom bought a new visor and the girls had their hair put up in a hair halo - too cute. I saw a ton of things I would have liked to pack home but ended up only buying some blueberry trail mix with white chocolate drizzle. Boy was that ever good. We lasted for a couple hours and then headed home to the air conditioning and lunch at home. Nick is at a paintball pool party with his Sunday school class and Lar will get home this evening and join in on all the fun. 
Best Friends together again - it was last summer that they were together. Nick and Cody have been best friends for years, but since our moved last Spring they haven't had a chance to see each other much. They consider each other "Brothers from another Mother". Shortened - that is Bro fro no Mo. They have had a great time playing Lego's, shooting the BB gun, swimming, telling jokes, helping with VBS and just getting to be together again. The Blessing of Friends is one of the greatest. Especially if you have moved much. 
I have a friend that is just green because my tomatoes are ripening and hers well... aren't. Actually the two red ones in the picture I bought at the farmers market and just set them on the vine and took the pictures. My tomatoes are doing so good this year the corn has even gotten in on the act. Oh how I love fresh tomatoes out of the garden - Im not picky. I'll eat the Big Reds or the Corn variety they all taste wonderful.
