William blowing kisses with Aunt BabsWe went over to Navarre on Friday for a short little get-away trip to visit my Aunt Babs. We love getting to go see her and have such a great time every time! Philip had a business meeting in Pensacola/Gulf Breeze that afternoon, so he dropped us off on his way over. Aunt Babs live in Navarre and has a beautiful bay front home. It's incredibly relaxing and peaceful there. Aunt Babs is my great aunt on my dad's side and is a very special lady. She is such a joy to be around and we are so blessed to be close enough to visit often.
William LOVES going to her house! He immediately goes to her back door and says "side, side, side"...it's so cute! We walk around her yard and check out all the flowers and bushes. He is discovering how to pick up the sticks and throw them over the fence into the water. He is so cute doing this! He acts like he's all grown up and wants to walk ALL over the place by himself. He will sit down by the gate and watch the water. He'll tell me bye-bye and wave for me to leave :) It's just adorable! The absolute sweetest surprise was when he walked over to me and handed me an azalea flower (bud) and said "moma"...I just about cried!! I have it pressed in a book right now as his first flower for mommy!!!

After naptime he wanted to go back out"side" and kept saying "pease, side, pease"
Sailor's Grill is my favorite place to eat in Navarre. It's a unique little restaurant/bar on the sound. It's the oldest restaurant in Navarre. The outside looks like a tiki hut and it has a porch overlooking the sound. So relaxing. We took Aunt Babs out to dinner for her hard work in therapy (for backpain). William loved it because he could color and talk as loud as he wanted. He ate some bites of my grilled chicken and several strawberries. As we were leaving, she stopped by the old bakery...now bar...and bought the BEST loaf of sourdough bread.
After bathtime...I love little hoodie towels
It was a great visit...although too short! We sat up a while chatting about this and that with her before retiring to the upstairs porch to enjoy the peaceful night. Philip cooked breakfast the next morning and it was delicious...especially the toast!! Our zoo trip was postponed due to the weather coming in...the wind and thunderstorms :(
Thanks Aunt Babs for having us over for the night! We love you so much and can't wait to come back soon!

William,
Papa said he can remember your daddy picking up sticks and throwing them too. Daddy also liked to pick up rocks and throw them. Papa said it would take extra time to walk somewhere because Daddy was always stopping to pick up something.
Looks like you had a good time at Aunt Bab's house. Mommies love flowers..GOOD JOB.
Love and Kisses, Mimi
I hate that you are sick and that the lake didn't work out this weekend!! We will get together soon.. GET WELL and give William a hug from us!
Enjoy meeting aunt Babs and hearing about Navarre. Flowers for Mommy is special. William is a charmer.
Aunt Babs was the bestest to you LaLa as you were growing up! She has loved you every single minute of your life just as she has all of her neices and nephews,her grands and her own children! This is so rewarding that you are having these special times of sharing William and Philip with Aunt Babs! Thanks Aunt Babs for being sooooo good to ALL of us! We love you!
