VACATION!

Vacation Days!
WOW! What a great vacation Corey and I had...here are a few highlights
We started our vacation by spending an afternoon helping Jayne and Jordon Paint their new house!
Then we had a camp out in Mom's back yard with Amanda and Adam's families!

Corey and Ezabella were in charge of the fire building
And the kids enjoyed their first time making smores...mmmmm....
We even had a four leg visitor.
On Monday morning Corey, Adam and I headed over to St. Peter's Island for an overnight adventure...


We saw lots of Starfish when the tide was out, and we went snorkling when the tide came in.
The views were amazing!
There is an old lighthouse on the far side of the island, so we went for a hike!

And of course we had a great bonfire!

For anyone who doesn't know, when the tide goes down, you can hike straight over to the Island on the sand bars...but on our way back we were surprised to see.....
...a 34foot long sailing boat, resting on the sand bar. We saw the boat get stuck the night before, and the coastguard came and took in all the passengers. This is what the amazing vessle looked like when the tide was down.

We did alot over our vacation, we visited basin head, and went to the drive in, and then we went back to work...but it was a short work week because of the Gold Cup and Saucer Parade!
Can you find our niece Taylor on the float? This is the only picture I have of her looking in my direction....she is Miss. Gingerbread on the far right.
Here is our niece Ezabella and her cousin Jenaya on the cheerleaders float (they are far left in matching t-shirts)

And here are the spectators
After the parade we had family over for a picnic

On Monday Aug 20 we had to say a said goodbye to my bro Adam, his wife Ivy and their two beautiful children. Here is a pic of us all at the airport.
All in all....we've had a wonderful summer! I can't believe it's almost over! We'll try to have a few more adventures before Sept comes, so please check back.
Love you all! Autumn and Corey
