Mississippi

 The girls and I went to Mississippi a couple of weeks ago to visit family.  Here are some pictures of many of the activities we did while we were there! 

 



The girls really enjoyed swimming in Mimi and B'B's new pool.  As soon as they finished breakfast, they would go straight to the pool.  Then they would swim again in the late afternoon.  I had to force them to come in during the middle of the day because it was just too hot!!

 

 

 

 

 

The Children's Museum is always a must when we are in Mississippi!!  Everyone always has the best time. 

 

 

I think it is so neat that our girls still have two great-grandmothers!

Rena usually tries to come up for a night while we are in town so that the cousins can play.  She drove up on a day that was a  rainy day.  It rained for most of the day, so when the sun came out that afternoon, Rena and I decided to take the kids for a bike ride.  Well, just around the corner from Nana and Grandaddy's house, Ben had a bike wreck.  When he fell off, he cried but it was more of a "I am mad" kinda cry and not the "I am in terrible pain" cry that I remembered from MV's leg break.  Rena got him back on the bike, and pushed him around the block.  When we got back to the house, he still would not move his arm nor let anyone near it. Rena decided that we needed to take him to get an x-ray.  I went along to help while the girls stayed with Nana and Grandaddy.  The x-ray came back that he had indeed broken his arm, and he was going to need surgery for it to heal correctly. Rena drove him back to Hattiesburg that night so their doctor could perform the surgery the next morning.  I dropped Mollie off the next day on my way back to Florida.  I am glad to report that Ben's surgery went well, and he is now on the road to recovery!

Ben after the doctor had splinted his arm.  He was such a brave boy, but did start to get silly from the pain medicine right before we left the hospital
