Life here is good. It is hard to believe that we have been here 4 days now. My how time flies when you are away from "reality." The girls are having a blast! For the first couple of days all they could talk about was going to the beach and finding "she shells." It's so fun seeing how excited they get about seeing the sand and water.
On Sunday morning, we got up and when to church at Lovely Lane Chapel. It was a nice way to start off our trip as well as the day. After church, we then headed to the village at the pier and found a "hidden jewel." There was a store in the pier called "Lela's." Lela was so excited to she her name on the sign. We made quite a few pictures with her standing in front of it and even bought her a t-shirt from there. (Poor kid, this will probably be the only time in her life that she will have something personalized due to her name and the spelling, it's definitely not one of the more common names out there.)
We took the trolley all over the island, too. Talk about an interesting way to see everything. We learned of the colorful history this island has to offer. Of course both girls fell asleep as the wind pasted through the windows, creating such a nice and relaxing breeze. After the trip on the trolley, we ate at one of Kevin's favorite place of all times - Barbara Jean's. It was good!!!
Yesterday, we took a trip down to Jekyll Island for the day. They have a smaller version of Whitewater called "Summer Waves." The girls had so much fun there!!! Lela went up and down on the water slide at least a hundred times it seemed. Lacey we put life jacket on her and had her floating on her back in the lazy river. She got so relaxed floating on her back that she actually fell asleep. Too Cute!! I have discovered that the best way to get them to take a nap is to completely exhausted them. When we take this course of action they will fall asleep within minutes.
Last night we had a nice rain, leaving the air feeling little more humid and everything more green. Dinner was at Mullet Bay, where we dined on shrimp, deviled crabs and mahi mahi. Mom had never had mahi mahi before, but has discovered that it has become one of her favorites. Today, we are taking it slow. Lacey didn't wake until around 9:00 am, we will probably head down toward the pier at some point. Tonight Laura, Ben and the boys will arrive. The girls can't wait to see their cousins. Tomorrow is Evan's birthday so we will have a party at some point, and Kevin will head back to reality. The girls and I still have a few more days of R and R. Yeah!!!
