Parke Fowler, along with their three boys, Cameron, Wes, and Caughran, came to our house to visit with us from February 12-15. It had been a long-anticipated visit for Caleb especially, since he and Wes were best buddies when we lived in Jackson. We had a wonderful time with them and did an amazing amount of things in the two full days they were here. The afternoon they arrived we took advantage of the sunny day to go down to the beach behind our house and let the kids play. Unfortunately, the weather turned overcast and rainy for most of the weekend, so we stuck to indoor activities mainly. On Friday afternoon after lunch at McDonalds, we went to the Gulfarium. We had never been there, and we got there at the perfect time in the afternoon. We got to see all of their water shows and then had time to look at some of the other animals like the sting rays, sharks, and turtles. We saw a dolphin show (which was the best, I thought) and sea lions perform. It so often takes visitors coming to do some of the activities that are in our own neck of the woods! We all had a nice time (even though the little ones didn't get their afternoon nap in and were a little cranky) and it gave us something to do on the cloudy afternoon. On Saturday it rained and so we went out to Pensacola to the Naval Air Museum for the day. The kids had fun looking at and sitting in some of the old planes and cockpits, and we got to see the the IMAX showing of a film about fighter pilots. The kids all had a great time together and I had fun with Parke and some nice adult conversation and fellowship!
