How does one week go so fast? The countdown calendar was made at the beginning of the month (kids put "beachy" stickers on each day...they loved doing it every morning after breakfast), but now it's time to take the calendar down.
We had a rough start to our trip with Tropical Storm Debby in the Gulf. A couple of cloudy days and high winds, and rain didn't stop us from having fun (and shopping!). What else do you do when it rains on vacation!?!?
That anticipated Friday of day 1 of vacation was finally here....and now it's gone. We have the fun memories and beautiful pictures.
We are now headed back to work.
Back to our regular schedule.
Back to reality.
Destin, FL was our "home" for a week. Mommy and Daddy loved seeing how much the kids enjoyed the beach and ocean.
Laney was our little water bug all weekend. I was really concerned how she would be since she's become quite the pool swimmer lately. I figured she would be all about the pool and not so much on the ocean.
Boy, was I wrong!!!
Max, on the other hand, liked the beach and ocean a lot more than I thought he would! He hadn't been since last year, when he was 14 months old. What a difference a year makes!
This year, we traveled with a large group. We went with the entire Reinhart family (minus a few). There was a total of 33 of us! It was so much fun!
The kids had a blast. They really enjoyed playing with their cousins, especially their buddies Charlo and Betsy! .
So many fun things to do....We caught a lizard
and pet a shark!
But most of all, we enjoyed time together as a family!
She's already asking when we can go back....
He won't stop saying, "SHARK!!!"
Bye, Bye Destin.....it's always fun!
Beachy stickers are a great idea! I'm going to borrow that and start a countdown for our move south :) Love the pics. Glad you had a blast!! What wonderful memories you are creating!
