MISS.ISS.IPP.I

We had our annual Biloxi Mississippi trip with the Cooper Family. It is always such a relaxing trip. We fly in to New Orleans and then drive down to Biloxi. It is a full day of traveling but the kids did fairly well considering. We had the best entertainment flying into New Orleans. Check this out, our own Elvis impersonator who doubles as a flight attendant. He actually does the Elvis thing in Vegas.

The kids were so excited when they got into what we thought was a shuttle to drive down to Biloxi. It was a decked out limo bus with a bathroom and everything. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever.


Our first day we went boating to a little lake area where the kids loved playing and taking turns tubing. As you can see Reese loved chillin' in her vest (and no, that is not me behind Reese, sorry Jeff).



Had fun the next day swimming at the pool and going to the spa. We then got the kids ready for their big UNLV picture. As you can see, it is hard to get a good pic with 13 tired and hungry kids. Here is the best one that I captured:




Ashlyn can't get enough of Justin, Annie and now baby Ruthie.



The next day was a fun filled day at the New Orleans Zoo and Aquarium. The Zoo was really cute.




We had the best dinners every night. There was so much food at every one! Jeff and I always woke up still feeling full the next morning. Here is the crew at dinner the last evening (some family members had to leave early so are not in the pic).



The highlight of the trip was pulling up in our ride to church. The faces of the missionaries and members who saw us pulling up in our casino shuttle is more than words can say. I think we all walked into church laughing. Talk about an oxymoron.


Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Cooper for a fun and memorable trip!
