Our special guest and Labor Day!

We had such a great time this past weekend! My brother lives in Philadelphia and we don't get to see him too often. We are excited to be in the same time zone as him and be at least on the same coast as him! He decided to buy a plane ticket down here and come see us! He got here on Sunday and left on Wednesday - not alot of time - but we had alot of fun!

On Labor Day, we took him to St. Augustine. We love the history there and the feel of the little town. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures - my battery was dead! But thank goodness for chargers because I was able to document the rest of the weekend! After St. Augustine - we went to North Beach. It was a new beach for us, and we were quite impressed. It was not very crowded and really beautiful. We even were able to see some sea turtle nests!

Shaef and Tanner are such good buds! They laughed and played so much! Shaef calls him "nanner". We wish that "Nanner" could be around more to play!

The next day Anson was busy with school so he studied while we explored downtown Jacksonville. My brother is good at just going where he wants and finding amazing things. We found the Landing and found some really amazing/interesting things:

Like this sweet statue of some sailor!

An amazing blue bridge - we actually drove over this one!

Us with the sweet bridge behind us!

At night, because it is high tide, people bring their nets and bait and catch shrimp. There were people who looked like they were doing it to survive and people doing it for fun! This is a picture of shrimp on the deck right after they were shaken out of the net.

Here is a close up picture of the shrimp. I actually think they might be crawdads or something because they are in a freshwater river.

Sometimes they even catch things like this - I don't know what kind it is but it had a freaky spike on its back!

We talked to a bunch of the people and it was fun to learn about some Jacksonville happenings!

We love you so much Tanner and miss your face!!
