*winter visit // part one*

Logan, Lindsey, and Kamry had been planning to come home for a winter visit. Logan wanted to do some hunting and other than that they had nothing planned but to relax and enjoy a little time on TI with the family. I got super-nervous during the freeze-up a few weeks ago, that they might not get here due to weather or that the boats might not be running on schedule. Then, another glitch popped up when Nathan's work schedule got messed up and he wouldn't be home while they were here. :O(
(He ended up working on Logan's boat a few days so they did actually get some time together, but would have LOVED to have had everyone home).

We decided to go over Thursday morning to get groceries, the day they were coming over. There was ice in the creek again but the mailboat left on time. We got as far as Port Isobel when we got stuck in the ice!! We were delayed 90 minutes when another boat came out and picked us up and took us to Crisfield. It was very windy too and I was worried that they might have to put their visit off another day. Since we had been delayed, the boat stayed longer and we didn't leave until 2:00. By then, the wind had dropped out and it was nice enough for them to come back with us.

It was late in the day, so we hung out at home. Kayla and Rowen came down and we all had dinner together. Peter broiled some oysters and we pulled out the deep fryer and did fried shrimp, clam strips, chicken tenders, and fries with homemade cocktail sauce and other dipping sauces.

I had gotten some toys, books and the boy's rocking chair out of the attic for Kamry to play with while she was here. Nathan's grocery cart was the biggest hit! Many TY beanies had been rolled in that cart, now Peppa and George would get a turn. :O)

Hide & Seek fun!!!

I get up early, and since Kamry's sleep schedule has changed and now wakes up around 8:00, we had our mornings together again and mommy got some sleep. Logan was hunting with Cameron today.

After breakfast, Kamry helped me make daddy's favorite jello salad (which she loved too)!

-Orange Fluff-
Mix 1 -8 oz. cream cheese (softened) with one small orange jello (dry). Add 1 small can crushed pineapple (drained) and 1 -8 oz. cool whip. Mix together. It is super easy but so good! I rarely make it but always do when Logan is home.

We also had Cream of Crab Soup and Balsamic Chicken Salad for dinner tonight.
Recipe link {HERE}.

We rode out on the cart and stopped in to see Kayla and Rowen, then they came down for dinner.

Logan had a great time hunting and they got a few for the freezer.

(The beard came off tonight!!!) yaaa!

#morningswithkamry

breakfast is her jam! :O)

Daddy took her outside to feed the goose before he left to go hunting.

 

Kamry helped me make a cake (and a few cupcakes for her)!

Nana may or may not have let her lick the spoon! :O)

YUMMM!!!

Lacee and Hope came by for a visit. Kamry loved playing with her!!

 "Baby Roe" came by too!!!

Kamry took a nap and Kayla stayed for awhile but skipped dinner---I cooked a goose for our dinner today! :O) Gran and Pop ate with us too. Everyone LOVES goose/duck dinners around here (except Kayla).

Logan and Cameron got more ducks!! 

Cameron got some really awesome pictures from their 2-day hunt. (photo credits: Cameron)
