Re-Cap of Visit to Indiana

Here are some pics from our visit in Indiana last week. First, we headed to Auburn to help our nieces (Ella and Emerson) celebrate their 1st birthdays. Then, after dropping Donavan off at the airport on Sunday Isaac and I went to Lafayette (hometown) for a 3 day visit with all of Isaac's grandparents, and great grandparents.

Isaac just loved being with his cousins. He loves sharing with them and particularly enjoyed "helping" them open the gifts. It was helpful that Ella and Emerson have another cousin who is about Isaac's age and they were quite the team when it came to opening presents.

I always take a zillion pics when we get together with family. Here is a smattering of my collection from our trip.

Thanksgiving Trip to Jekyll Island

Here's a re-cap of our last couple of weeks. Isaac's Gigi Powell flew to Athens for a long weekend before Thanksgiving. Isaac loved having her visit and especially liked "showing off." We were so impressed with her energy. At her age, she is an excellent traveler. We enjoyed having her visit.

Then, we drove and spent the week of Thanksgiving with Mimi and Poppi Powell on Jekyll Island. We had really nice weather (60s and 70s, sunny or partly sunny). Isaac enjoyed playing on the playground that was in the "backyard" of our condo, playing in the sand on the beach, running in the water with his Mimi, and biking. Donavan pulled out the kite we used over the summer at the beach and Isaac was fascinated with it. He had no interest with the kite over the summer, but it was a big hit this time. He loved going to the sea turtle museum and now carries his baby turtle (stuffed animal) around with him all day. Oh, and the last night on Jekyll Donavan and I took him to a a putt putt golf course. I think he has pretty decent form for a 2 year old. It was nice to get away and spend time with family for the holiday.
