Pics from our trip...

Well, we are back to reality. And reality is great but man was it nice to escape from it for a few days. We had so much fun on our trip. We were so fortunate that Bry's friend allowed us to stay in his beach house. It was awesome! It was a cute little house on about 12 acres of land. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a detached "mother-in-law" suite. It had a air hockey table (which is one of my favorite games) and was a few blocks from the beach. Luke alternated between calling it our party house and our beach house.
The kids LOVED the beach. I was really surprised at how well they did and how much they loved it. Presley's favorite things were playing in the sand, being buried in the sand, sitting in the beach chair while having a snack and going out in the inflatable boat. Luke liked playing in the sand also. He liked looking for shells, building sand castles, going in the boat and swimming in the ocean while the fish nipped at his feet. Bailey liked chilling in the beach chair, going out in the boat, looking for shells and sitting at the edge of the water in the beach chair.
Mom and D were able to come down on Wednesday and join us. We were really glad because she needed some time off so bad. She LOVES the beach and was so happy to be there. The kids liked having their Grammy living right across the driveway for a few days.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pics and memories from our trip...

The kids enjoying some sand play with their Daddy.
Our little Mermaid!

We finally found a way to make Luke and Presley be still!! They loved being buried like this. It was hilarious. I could not stop laughing at their little heads sticking up out of the sand.
My beautiful Bay. Grumps started calling her Hollywood this week. :)
Such a cool dude.
We took the kids to the beach the first night to watch the sunset.
Luke made friends with this cute little girl. I got a bunch of adorable pics of them but this is my favorite. He was showing her his muscles.

Bay chose to go to Fudpuckers for her birthday dinner. The kids loved Gator Island that is attached to the restaurant.
My beach baby.
Luke showing off his surfing moves.
She's even beautiful when she's covered in sand!

Daddy taking the babies out in the boat.
Bay trying to sit in her "noodle seat". The waves didn't make it easy.
More sand fun with Daddy.

Presley relaxing on the beach.
Grammy and Bay relaxing in the hammock in the backyard.
Me and my Mommy on the beach. Yes, I was there. :)
We went to a really cool mall on the last night, Destin Commons. It was an outdoor mall and they had a playground and water park. The kids LOVED it!
Luke getting soaked in the water park.


Prissy loved playing in the water too!

Looks like you had a blast!!! So, you did go to Destin! I thought from the other pic you went somewhere else. Oh well. I wish I would have told you about this resteraunt that is the best seafood! Oh well. It is called Dewey's and it is a small ma and pop place and not as expensive! Anyway, glad you had fun! But where are all of the pics of you?????
