This morning we headed out early in order to catch the ferry over to West Ship Island, one of the Gulf of Mexico barrier islands and part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, where we planned to spend most of the day...
{oh, how I love these sweet littles so very much}
When we arrived on the island...
we watched a brief reenactment on the island...
including the raising of the flag over Fort Massachusetts...
We then caught a tour of the fort...
learned more about its Rodman cannon...
and secured our passport stamps...
before taking a few more photos on top of the "D-shaped" fort...
before taking a few more photos on top of the "D-shaped" fort...
{we are really "in" to the silly shots right now!}
and
making the short trek along the pier to the south side of the island to
change clothes, eat lunch and enjoy a little beach time...
before boarding the ferry back to the Mississippi mainland...
and reuniting with my mother to go have dinner with my grandmother, aunt and uncle...
{my Mississippi grandmother with her namesake, sweet M}
My
very talented aunt showed L her art studio and gifted her with one
of her paintings... L was so excited. She had been waiting for a
tour of Aunt S's art studio for a long time since her "teacher told her
that she is an artist", too... Such a sweet, sweet girl... She is a little artist, that is for sure...
and the gifted painting from Aunt S couldn't be more perfect...
