West Ship Island

One of the best parts of our trip was going to West Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico.  It was a lot of fun for the kids and the beaches there were a lot prettier and had bigger waves.  We took an 11mile (one way) ferry ride to the island.  It took about an hour to get there and the kids got to see lots of neat stuff on the way!

And we're off!! 
See you later, Gulfport!
 
If you look closely you can see a dolphin fin.  We saw lots of dolphins, but they were so fast, I could never get a picture of them!  It was a little frustrating, but it was way cool.
 
Ft. Massachusetts is located close to where our boat docked on the North side of the Island.
You could tour the fort, but we didn't because the kids were so interested in getting in the water.
I do regret not going in it, though.

Carl and the kids jumped right in!

I thought this was pretty cool!  You can see Makena under the water.  I told you it was clear!
 
So much fun!

He was in heaven!
 
He's running like David Hasselhoff!
 
He got buried!
 
My view was looking pretty good!

Almost time to leave!
 
 He wasn't happy that we didn't get to sit where we sat on the way to the Island.  He literally pouted the whole hour back!
 

Yep, on her phone again!
 
We were a little red, and really tired, but it was a fun day and I would highly recommend it to anybody!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
