We got home from our vacation Saturday afternoon but it has been running ever since. We had a great time on St Simons Island, Georgia with Aunt Kelli, Caitlin, and Matthew. While we were there we got to see all of Grammy's family. We REALLY missed Daddy and wished he would have been able to be there but we are planning our trip for next year now and making sure he will be able to join us. We stopped in Mobile, Alabama both ways to see Nana and Buddy and either spend the night or get a break from the car! Uncle KC, Nana and Buddy all enjoyed getting to play with the kids and they had a blast showing them all their "stuff". The tunnel leaving Mobile to the East was the treat of the trip, the kids kept asking to go through the tunnel. We had plenty of beach time, found a really cool playground, rode bikes built for 6 around the island, visited the Nature Center and Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. Every time Kyler talked to someone on the phone he talked about the BIG turtle he saw and how his legs were wings but he was swimming. It is fascinating to hear their interpretations of life these days! Mandy screamed when the water touched her for the first time but by our second trip to the beach we couldn't get her out of that beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Lots of sand castles were built and destroyed and tons of fun was had. We grilled out and ate wonderful food, thanks to Aunt Kelli for a few new easy recipes. Caitlin really enjoyed the shopping of the trip we can really tell she is becoming a teenager. Matthew and Kyler got along famously for two kids not used to having another 3 year old around 24/7. We had only minor squirmishes no major fights, awesome. Aunt Kelli and I were so tired of hearing "MAAAMAAAA" that on the trip home we changed our names to Sandy and Jesse. We really should have been a commercial for Chevy and their traveling accessories for this trip OH the baggage when two moms take 4 kids on the road alone! All in all and excellent trip and we were exhausted when we got home. Excited to see Daddy and ready to take a nap! Definitely worth it and would do it again...There were too many pictures to choose from so I will just post one of the crew.
