We became great friends with the Miller's at the beginning of med school in Missouri. Makenzie and Aida were two years old. They became BEST of friends and they continue to have a connection. I decided to make a visit to them in North Carolina before we move next summer. Tyler had to stay home and work.
The girls and the boys hit it off great.
Jordan asked me if he could marry Ariah someday. 
Ellionna loved the horse.
We spent a day at the beach on the military base.
Ellionna loved the sand.
Best of friends!!!
The boys LOVED the waves. They were cracking me up as they would pretend to "fight" the waves. Most often the waves would win and they would be knocked under.
We found a crab roaming the beach.
And of course, we had to bring home some sea shells.
We checked out a local aquarium.
The kids got to touch the stingrays.
Gavin could barely reach them and was getting frustrated.
Ellionna enjoyed the viewing pleasure from her stroller.
Captain Hook, aka Jordan.
Jordan checking out the fish.
We enjoyed a small nature hike.
Ellionna got to go off-roading in her stroller.
Makenzie is showing off just a few of the critters that they found in the backyard.
A color changing lizard.
A frog with very long legs.
Thanks Annie and Nate for letting us invade your place for the weekend! It was a very enjoyable visit and worth the drive.
