Brett's parents are currently serving a mission in Samoa. They left last October and Avery was born in January. About a month ago we spent a week there and they finally got to meet baby Avery. She sure loves her Gammy and Papa!

We were so spoiled, we got Daddy for a whole week. No work, computer, or cell phone!
Brett and I climbing the waterfall at Sauniatu.
...more waterfalls!
Brett got really thirsty at this one! :)
Brett cracking open a coconut. And yes...the person on the right IS a woman. But she sure doesn't crack a coconut like one!
Once you husk and crack the coconut, you get to drink the yummy coconut milk. Cheers!

Brett gave it a shot.
And not to be out down by the men...I had to try it! It's a lot harder than you'd think!

I love, love, love this picture. Brett says she reminds him of those expensive dogs that cost more if they have lots of wrinkles! Let's just say...Avery would cost a pretty penny! :)
Sportin' the shades.
Eating her shades...or in deep thought, you choose!
Brett really wanted this to be the photo on our Christmas card this year. Yeah...maybe not.
Only in the South Pacific do you see colors like this.
Avery loved to snorkel...or at least chew on them!
Beach Babe! The pack-n-play at the beach was genius. It kept Avery from packing her face with sand!
Gammy and Papa took us to the most beautiful beach on the other side of the island. I have never seen water so blue and clear. It was incredible!
Avery got to take a nap with Gammy!
While her crazy Dad decided to climb a coconut tree! Sort of :)
After a long day at the beach...she was wiped out and slept the whole way home.
Every morning Papa and Brett would take Avery on a walk. She loved it!
Gammy and Papa, thank you so much for such an amazing week. We will never forget it. We love and miss you both!

Wow! That looks like such an amazing time. I am sooo jealous. And where are all the people? You like have these amazing beaches all to yourselves! That is so crazy. I want to live there for sure.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane. It means so much to us that you came; we know the trip isn't easy. We watch our Avery video almost every night! Gams
Great post! I seriously want to leave a comment on every picture. The top one of Avery? So cute! And the wrinkly one? To die for! And the one where she's tossed in the air with the waves in the background? Ah. So cute.
The whole trip looks amazing amazing. Are all those pictures for real? Just so beautiful. Glad I got to see your trip.
Oh Sarah, Matt is very jealous! I think we have a picture of him in the same coconut tree! How fun that you got to take that trip. Avery is so darling and I LOVE all those precious rolls! Hope you are doing well!
Holy Cow! Can I just say Samoa is now #1 on my "trips I wish to take someday when we can afford it" list. Avery is getting so big! I can't decide who I think she looks like more...maybe you Sar. Darling family!
