Since there were 8 of traveling together we stayed at different houses while in Mississippi.
The main home was Aunt Zanie Lee's. Grandma, Grandaddy and Anna stayed with Aunt Zanie Lee each night! Anna loved having her own room and bed:) LOL!!
Aunt Zanie Lee even let us get into her kitchen to cook safely for the kids... which we really, really appreciated. It definitely made traveling with food allergies a little easier to have a full kitchen available to us.
(And Aunt Aliene also opened her kitchen for us to prepare lunch and cookies on Tuesday!! It's just life with food allergies... maybe that's another post... bringing all the food I could think of!! But NO reactions... so it worked!!)
The rest of us stayed with Brian's cousin Bill and his family!! They were so gracious to us and the kids. Especially when the boys came in hyper off caffeine... they just rolled with the energy:) Very sweet. One of my favorite memories was getting the kids to bed after the reunion and sitting up listening to Bill and Brian reminisce and reconnect... just priceless!
Bill even offered to take the kids fishing one morning!!!
So he got out the tractor to ride (a very bumpy ride!!) some of us to the pond behind his home...
and the kids got to fish to their hearts content...
well... until we all got hot and tired:)
My favorite fishing picture;) Just a very pretty place to fish!
Before we left Mississippi we also were able to visit with Brian's cousin Mac and his wife, Lisa!
They were so sweet with the kids and even gave into their soda infatuation:)
It was then that we finished packing up and headed north east to our next stop:)
