The Brockett's Visit

The Brockett Family migrates South. In 20 hours they went from 7 degrees to 75. Wow, I think I would migrate, too!

We had such a wonderful time while they were here. Thank you Brocketts, for blessing us with your visit. Here are a few of the 750+ pictures we took that week.

Enjoy

From Apples to Oranges.

Pure Florida Gold!!

How many people can REALLY fit on a trampoline?

I think there's room for a few more.

The all new LOUD game of Pit/Spoons.

How bout some 4-square?

These people are serious about this game!! Football in the cow pasture.
Makes for an interesting game. Thomas looks determined.
Amadu looks confident. Looks like Tom's confidence ran out:( Mary looking for someone to tackle.....
She found Jordan..... And Adama.
Making a Joyful Noise in our Hearts to the Lord.

Out for some boating adventures.

(Could be dangerous, but so is just about everything we do.)

Stopped at Subway for lunch on the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

(Wow "Eskimo Overflow", are you stuffed?)I would NEVER act silly like that :)

("Oh Really, see the last post, The Caption Contest")

Having DessertWe arrive at God's beautiful ocean. (Melbourne Beach)

(If you're wondering about the jackets, it's cold and VERY windy.)But never too cold for swimming....

But, on second thought, maybe it is.

James and Adama digging a hole.

The littles did go in the water.

Sometimes, ya just gotta do what ya gotta do.

The sand was blowing in our eyes, mouth, ears.

Well, you get the idea, it was really blowing.

Time for some beach foursquare on unlevel sand.

Playing on concrete after this was a breeze.

"Sunflower Maiden of the Beach"

(Liv made the wreath from some wildflowers)

The Precious Hitze family met us at the beach.

The are missionaries to the Baffin Islands.

We think it's cold when it's 50? It gets 70 below there and the ground never thaws. Brrrr.

It's been a great day.A trip to "Ft. Matanzas" in St. Augustine.

Christiana's Art Work with the pics of Mantanza.

Ariana and Hillary, looking into the fort.

On the shore at the inlet where the Fort sits.

After seeing the fort, we go to the Atlantic,
but this time it's perfect weather.

Amadu, The Aged One.

A Group of Aged Ones

Well, what do we have here.

Could it be, foursquare, on wet, packed sand?

The "Ball Chaser"
(He needs to work off some of that energy)

HELP!!! SOMEBODY, HELP!!

WHEW, That was close. You don't EVEN realize how close that was.

Mercy reigns this day!

On a walk(?) to see the sunset.

The Pocketts and Jord.

A Visit from the Hommes

The Hommes family came all the way from coooold country to visit little ole us. Just Kidding, what actually happened was they were here in Florida and came to see us while they were here. I like the first explanation better:)

Momma was sooo happy to be reunited with sweet Josiah!!

Christina and Josiah blessing us with beautiful music.

Yay for Liv's Apple Pie's.

Are these "The Twins"?

By the look on Jon's face, I think I know who's winning.

The Mommas and Josiah.

The Dads sitting by the fire.

It was 50 degrees and we were freezing.

The Hommes thought it strange that we had a fire blazing in the fireplace.

It was 7 when they left home!
