St. George Island

We always look forward to our annual trip to St. George Island, and this year was no exception. It was an extra special trip this year since our friends Todd, Brooke, Camille & Quinn got to come along for a few days.

It was so much fun watching Ava and Camille (her "best friend") play in the sand and splash in the water. Neither of the girls were too fond of the waves and were happy enough seeing how much sand they could put on each other. Baby Quinn even got to be part of the action and seemed to enjoy her first time at the beach and pool!

While the boys didn't get to go on their annual fishing trip due to high surf & wind, they had plenty of fun playing golf, fishing on the beach, playing cornhole and consuming some nice refreshing beverages :)

After the crowd left on Tuesday...the house was very quiet. However, there was still plenty of fun to be had! We relaxed by the pool, spent the day at the state park, looked for sea shells, shopped in Apalachicola, ate ice cream at Aunt Ebby's, took photo's of Ava on the beach, and do what we do best have fun!

Just for fun :)

Here are just a few fun pictures we've been meaning to post. Most of these are from Mother's Day. As you can see, Ava is a huge help in the kitchen. She loves to help Mimi snap green beans.
One day, Ava couldn't decide which hair bow she wanted to wear...so she wore them all.

Ava also enjoys riding her tricycle...especially in her slipper socks and helmet!

Sprinkler Fun

One of Ava's favorite summer activities is playing in the sprinkler. After trying out 3 different sprinklers Ava finally decided that her fish sprinkler was the most effective in getting everyone wet.

Happy Spring!

We hope all of you are having a Happy Spring! Several weeks ago we took some pictures of Ava in Gigi & Gi-Paws garden.

Ava definitely enjoys stopping to smell the flowers!

Here Fishy Fishy...
We have some family in town from Illinois so we decided to take them for a visit to the Georgia Aquarium. Ava was fascinated with all the fish and had to tell all of them "hi fishy" and "bye bye fishy." You can tell how fascinated she was, as she wouldn't even take her eyes off of them for one minute to smile at the camera. Oh well, I guess I really can't compete with a giant grouper.

A Day at the Zoo
The weather was so pretty on Sunday, that we decided to head to Zoo Atlanta with Uncle Todd and Aunt Jenn. Even though it was really hot Ava had a great time. We got to see the new baby panda, but Ava's favorite animals were the monkeys.
