We had a wonderful and busy time in Gulfport visiting Uncle Crosby, Aunt Lauren and Crosby II. The children traveled well and we got in late Thursday night so that we could go to a children's Mardi Gras parade at Lauren's mom's school. The student's had little boxes all decorated with Mardi Gras flair and the Zydeco music was playing and they were all throwing out beads to the bystanders. Lauren had gotten Parker and Bennett these adorable Fleur-de-lis bags to put their bead in. Parker, Bennett and Crosby had a wonderful time and got lots of beads.

Then they moved on to have lunch in the dining car with Aunt Lauren and Parker.
Then we went upstairs and fly to Mexico with pilots Bennett and Crosby!

Then Parker and Bennett got us home safely.
Bennett never tried to shoot the ball but he just held it up in the air. It was too cute! 
A few cute pictures of the children outside before heading home for lunch
Crosby was so tired he couldn't make it home awake.
Later that afternoon, while Lauren and I stole a few moments to go shopping, Bennett and Crosby played on the neighborhood dirt pile but I'm still awaiting pictures from Crosby and Lauren so that I can post them.
Parker wouldn't put any beads on and put them all in her bag.

Of course before the parade started, Bennett kept running off to the playground which was to our right so I had to keep him off the ground.
Later that day all Parker could talk about was feeding the geese and ducks. Their neighbor feeds them every morning and evening so we made sure that we made the Friday evening feeding. Below you can see Bennett (left of the tree) and Parker throwing corn at the geese.

Cooking with Aunt Lauren. I'm not sure she was used to so much help in the kitchen.
Then we had bedtime singing time with Uncle Crosby.
On Friday morning we went to the Children's Discovery Museum in Gulfport. The weather had warmed up a little and the children had a wonderful time. Here is a picture of Parker and Bennett heading to the museum.
