Beach Fun and Getting to Know The Traveling Gypsies


Here are some pics of when Jodi, Bobbi, Reece and two of my cousins (McKenzie and Taylor) came down to visit us. I will refer to McKenzie and Taylor as the traveling gypsies. hehe Kassidy only briefly got to meet them awhile back. My Aunt Connie and I were very close growing up but after getting married they decided to explore the world! :) During their marriage and over the years of adding a total of four children and now one son-in-law, they managed to live in several different places. That is not so bad if you are adventurous but along with that comes time apart from your family. Unfortunately, that occurred and we have not been able to get to know or spend much time with our cousins. We always heard about them and they always heard about us but as far as having a personal relationship with them....well....that was not able to happen. Thankfully, on their transition back from Alaska to moving to CO, they were able to come and spend several months in WV. The younger ones were able to even go to school with Bobbi and Reece. In that time period, they all became super close friends/family. Now....it doesn't matter where they go or what they do they will always have family in WV who they will always remember no matter where their path will lead them. In that time also, Billy, Kassidy and I were able to get to know them a little too. We did not get to spend as much time with them as everyone in WV did but we did get to spend a lot of time with the two gypsy girls when they traveled our way right before heading out for Colorado a few days later. We will miss you but we hope you will always remember your time with us fondly. We love you. Here are some pics of us checking out the beach life at Myrtle Beach. It was Bobbi's birthday also so we celebrated at the Melting Pot Restaurant. There are a hodge podge of pics that I will not explain individually but just know all fun was had.
