My mom flew out all by herself for a visit. She prefers to drive and have someone come with her, but coming alone worked out well.
She made it in town on Saturday afternoon just in time to join us for Aaron's birthday party. He decided he wanted to have a couple friends over and have a water gun fight. We invited Doug, Shannon and the girls to join us for pizza. Brian and Cynthia happened to be in town, so they were able to join in the festivities as well. Aaron's actual birthday was on Tuesday, so Mom went with us to see the new Avengers movie. Aaron chose Golden Corral for his birthday dinner. It isn't my favorite place, but it was his birthday.
Mom wanted to take the kids shopping, so we went to the mall one day. The kids scored some clothes courtesy of Mamaw Annie.
Hannah and I took her to the beach one day where we saw tons of dolphins playing in the surf. I usually see dolphins when we go to the beach, but not as many or as close up as they were that day.
We decided to try out a dolphin tour. It was amazing and we will be taking future company on the tour.
While we were on the boat, Mom said she didn't have a profile picture on Facebook, so Rachel took a picture and made it Mom's Facebook profile picture for her.
After the tour, we had lunch at Waterman's. We had not been there before and really enjoyed it. We had water view seats and actually saw more dolphins playing in the water.
Mom wanted to walk around and take the kids into some souvenir shops.
Rachel chose a shirt and Hannah found a dolphin wind chime. Aaron's souvenir was not what we had planned. He scored two hermit crabs. The pets in this house now out number the kids.
