Destin, FL--VERY late post

This post has a ridiculous amount of photos...so my kids can look back on them one day!

Big Dave and Dot Dot graciously took the family on vacation to Destin in July.  They drove (and took lots of our "stuff" with them) and we flew.  Eric and Alicia and Adisyn also flew.  We arrived on a Monday morning and left on Friday.  I think it was just the perfect amount of time for our kiddos, since they are still fairly young.

This was their first time to fly, and overall they really did a good job.  On the way there, Hallie cried for probably the last 10-15 minutes.  Sadly, I was happy when another little one cried for awhile on the plane that was several rows in front of us.  I did not want my child to be the only one crying..ha!








 
My parents did a wonderful job of picking a place for all of us to stay.  They got us a three bedroom, three bath condo at Sandestin and this was our view.  It was fabulous!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
The kids actually enjoyed this pool more than anything....
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First stop...some food for this little princess....
 




We got there earlier in the day than Eric's crew so we had most of the day to play at the beach and pool.  However, the kids enjoyed the pool more than anything. 

And this is what happens when you refuse to take a nap.....you crash right before dinner!  That blanket and dog are his two very favorite things on the planet!!



 
Pierson literally FELL ASLEEP the second he was taken out of the pool.  Unbelievable!!

 


I was almost certain that Pierson wouldn't do this...but he proved me wrong, and had a blast doing it!

 


 


 

 
He also had fun on this little obstacle course.  Had to keep him busy while everyone was eating  :)
 


 
 




This is funny because he is almost as big as she is...

 
Pretty cool storm moving in...
 


 


 
 
This may be my FAVORITE pic of the entire trip.  Early one morning, Pierson took a stroll along the beach with Dot Dot and Big Dave!
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
One morning / afternoon we went on a dolphin cruise.
 




 

 








 


 





 


 

 



 
My kiddos were soooooo tired and attempted to get in a little nap whenever they could....and mommy may have joined them a couple of days.  
 



 
 

 

 
We lost the majority of one day due to rain, so we made the best of it!


















We had some fun around the condo....













Last, but certainly not least, we played at the ocean! Just realized I didn't get that many pics on the sunny days. 









 

 





 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Big Dave and Dot Dot for a wonderful family vacation!!!
