Family Time (mid-May 2014)

My parents arrived shortly after Mother’s Day and spent a week with us. The timing couldn’t have been better – I got the flu so the boys had 3 sleepovers with their grandparents. I had the luxury of being able to just be sick and not have to hold it together and parent. My mom and I always have a great time together so we have to actually plan to do things or we will just sit around talking and laughing. We went to Magnolia Plantation and saw the gardens, took a tour of the slave quarters, and saw alligators during a boat ride.

We also took my parents out for a sail. The wind was good and about 5 dolphins came up to the stern of the boat and played with us.
