Mississippi Coast


We went to the Mississippi Coast for the 4th of July.  The boys were so excited to go to Mississippi and see Yiayia and Papou.  Even after we got there Ben kept asking me if we were still in Mississippi.


We took the boys over to Biloxi one day so they could play on the beach.  It was a gorgeous day and not too hot.  I always laugh at how much they like to grab handfuls of sand and just throw it into the water.


Ben and Sam were both a little scared of the water and waves last time we were on the coast, but they jumped right in this time.

Snack time is the best time!



Yiayia made pancakes ... yummy!



Drawing angry birds


The boys are really in to super heros right now ... mostly Avengers, Spiderman, and Justice League.


They were full, but dessert came out so the trap door opened.


Little Benny was pooped!  He tries so hard to keep up with big brother Sam, but he just isn't quite ready to drop his nap every day.


Breakfast just got easier. Benny has conquered feeding himself cereal.  Of course any cereal with marshmallows is the best kind of cereal.


We got to see Uncle Costas and Aunt Paola for the 4th of July.



Conner boys


It rained most afternoons on the coast ... a welcome relief from the heat.



We took a walk after the rain and the boys were endlessly fascinated at the pitcher plants.  We have a Walter Anderson pitcher plant print in our house so they loved making that connection.



So sad to leave Yiayia and Papou.  Can't wait to see them again soon!
