Grandpa and Grandma E drove down for Labor Day weekend to celebrate the end of summer with us (W was in Washington DC). They arrived late on Friday night. Saturday we went to Mud Island. The kids were not very impressed with the museum but loved the "map' of the Mississippi river. I bought them each a little Ducky at the museum shop and they chased their ducks from Cairo IL all the way to New Orleans! (Speaking of New Orleans- Grandma S. considered coming a staying with us for Gustov but in the end decided to stay in Biloxi. They have no power but no other damage. We may still get a visit depending on how long the power stays out and how hot/humid is gets.) After we dried off we all went to the Flying Fish for dinner- catfish, hush puppies, and fried okra- YUM!
After church on Sunday we packed up a picnic dinner and headed to the base pool for the last time this year. The kids enjoyed showing off their swimming skills and Grandma and Grandpa got to try something new- Jamaican Rice Salad for dinner.
There is video on Youtube of the 2 big kids going off the diving board. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFsofiERXGw
W got back to town just as Grandma and Grandpa were leaving and after a nice family dinner it was off to bed and back to school in the morning.
