Ila (Gordon's Sister), Kyle, and Warren came and visited us for the weekend. We had a wonderful time with them. Gordon picked them up from New Orleans on Friday. Friday night we took them to the neighborhood pool. It was the first time back at the pool this season and the water was freezing. The boys didn't seem to notice and had a blast making water balloons and playing in the water.
Saturday we went to Pensacola and enjoyed the gorgeous emerald blue water and the perfect sugar sand beach. It took us a while to even get to the beach since MANY others had the same idea. Traffic in Pensacola was terrible.
This was Warren's first time at the beach and Kyle's 3rd time. We enjoyed the waves, the sand, and just being together. For dinner we ate at our favorite restaurant called Flounders. Kyle and Ila enjoyed trying the seafood dishes while on their trip. Flounders has a great variety of delicious seafood. I wasn't a seafood lover until I went to Flounders and tried their Mahi Mahi. It is so delicious. After Flounders, we walked around the pier and enjoyed some ice cream while watching the BYU game.Sunday we enjoyed a lovely day at church together. I was able to attend RS with Ila. I hadn't attended RS in years since being called into primary and nursery. Later that evening we enjoyed a walk together around the neighborhood. They also enjoyed picking out some of their favorite Mardi Gras throws from our stash.
Monday we went to Biloxi and went to the beach there. We were quickly reminded that the beach is NOT the place to go while in Biloxi. Pensacola is so much nicer because the water is turquoise and the sand is clean where Biloxi the water is murky brown and the sand is littered with trash. We decided to go have a picnic at a park there. This was much more enjoyable. Gordon then took Kyle, Ila, and Warren on to the New Orleans airport.
We were all so sad to see them go. We had so much fun visiting with them. Warren and Bryson played so well together. Warren is a very good talker and is almost 2. I loved when he reminded Bryson to "share" his toys with him. One time he wanted my cell phone to play with and he said "Jen share." It was so cute.
Thanks Jen for the post:)
