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! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
