Going Back to the Islands


Hey crew,

We're back. The Bahamas was great. I'm officially an island boy now. I had so much fun and got to meet so many new family members. I really don't have any family close to Arkansas except for Bun Bun and Grandpa Mac who live an hour away in Oklahoma; so it was cool getting to meet all my cousins, uncles, aunts, and my great grandmother, Mar. Everyone says I look like her. We are the same complexion.

I also got to go to Andros (that's were my grandaddy was born) and swim in the ocean. It was really salty, but I loved it. Mommy and daddy walked down to the beach one day and decided to let me take a swim even though I didn't have any swim trunks. So they stripped me down to my birthday suit and let me have at it. It was great. Now I see why daddy refuses to go swimming in a lake. The water was crystal clear.

I also got to see where my great grandparents on my grandaddy's side are buried.

When we got back from Andros I got christened at my grandaddy's church. It was really neat when he annointed my head with oil. I also got to hang out with several of my Godparents. After church we all went out to celebrate my christening and then mommy and daddy went to stay at the hotel Atlantis for two days while I stayed with my Grammie Jessie and Auntie Lauriette and cousins Aalaiyah and Anaiyah. But they didn't leave me completely out of the fun. I got to go spend a day at the hotel with them. Atlantis was really cool. They had a special kiddie pool made just for me. I could walk around and even got to go down a few slides.

Anyway, long story short, we had a great time. I can't wait to go back and eat some more conch salad. That stuff is really good man.

Also, I heard that we'll be a taking another trip shortly to go visit Uncle Dorrie and his crew in Cincinnati and my Grandma Mary Anne up in Michigan. More family - I love it! I'll add some pics when we return.

BTW - if you want to check out my pics from the Bahamas they are down below. Enjoy!

Family Photos June 09

Hey guys,
Check out our family photos down below. The photographer's name is Joshua Adams and he's a photography and graphic design student at daddy's work. He needed to practice so daddy graciously volunteered our family. It was a win win situation. Enjoy.
