Visitor and visits

A few weeks ago my dad's sister, Bonnie, passed through town for one night.  Within minutes the boys were (re)bonded with Bonnie and showing off all of their crazy skills.  Scott was out of town, so we spent a moment looking at our map so Henry could show Bonnie where he was (Bangladesh).  One skill they showed off was making hearts with their hands.  Bonnie was a quick learner and joined in.

We were really happy to have one of my high school friends pass through for a weekend.  He also visited us in Bangladesh a few times so the boys know him well and were excited to have him around.  So excited that they attacked him when they were wormy worm monsters.

and he and Scott brewed up a batch of beer

We then had a fantastic weekend on Tybee Island with our good friends from Bangladesh.  We rented a little cottage and spent the days exploring on the beach and visiting the historic sites.









Although it was a bit too cold to swim we had fun in the waves and building with the sand.

 We asked Elliot to show us a "feeling cold" face

We spent some time on the playground and climbing in a super cool tree.

 And then went to the historic Tybee Island Lighthouse to...
Find a lizzard

then climb the stairs:

 to the windy top

And what beach trip is complete without a trip to an ice cream shop - even if you have to wear jackets during the outing

On the last day we went to Savannah where we visited a train museum and had lunch

When we first stopped in Savannah the kids waved to the pilot of a passing boat who then decided to put on a show by turning towards them, tooting his horn a few times, and doing a turn around before heading back on down the river. The kids loved it!
