Summer Fun in MS

 We spent some time this summer in Mississippi.  We all love going to visit family...it can be quite the task making rounds to see everyone while we are there but it is always worth it.  We are blessed with lots of family that love us, and we are fortunate that all can be seen with a few hours drive from each other. 
We sure did borrow my sister's zoo pass and take the kids to the Jackson Zoo.  Yes, it's quite a sad sight.  But the kids had fun! :)

Drew waving at the bear.  He waves to anyone and anything.

Our real motivation for going to the zoo was the fun splash pad that they have.  Drew loved it!
 
 
 

Mac, however, did not love the idea of water splashing around all over and possibly getting his face wet.  He wanted to just watch.

I was trying to convince Mac that if Drew could do it, he could...

But my convincing wasn't working.  The only thing that worked was getting wet with him.  I'll pretty much do anything to help a fear be conquered!

Shielding his face from the water.  That's my boy! :)

After the splash pad, both were beyond thrilled to ride the train.

Yep, us and maybe one other group in the very front enjoyed that ride.  Cause you know these boys picked the caboose to ride in!

This is a "I'm having a blast" face...much different from the face you saw earlier at the splash pad. LOL

Our travels took us to Magee where we were so very excited to spend time with Aunt Olivia and Ardsley.  She is the sweetest little thing :)

Belly laughing with Mim in the pool
 

They thought it was so fun to pour water on poor Mim. haha

We wish Aunt Olivia and Ardsley lived closer so we could visit more often!!

Fun at McDonald's
