Family Beach Vacation

In July, my mom rented a harbor front condo in Destin Beach.
Here are some of the highlights: 



Jerry and I were feeling ambitious one day and thought it would be fun to take the kayaks all the way around Noriego point....out into the ocean...PASSED the bridge.....um, we were pretty dang tired....and got stuck in some seaweed...and Jerry swears he saw a shark fin.....I think it was a dolphin....but who knows....We will think twice next time especially with the little ones on our laps (in life jackets of course- don't judge me!!! lol!

Mom anchored her sail boat out at the beach and it started floating away :) lol....that made for some entertainment.  Jerry and Jackie tried to swim out to help.....yeah...it was a lot further than it looked.

Loved playing Settlers of Catan with Tyler and Ashley almost every night!

My mom's sister and her family were renting a beach house about 25 minutes away so we got some fun cousin time in!







Going to Harry T's and listening to the live country music they had playing on the harbor.  Cohen was certainly the life of the party as he took after his mama's love of country music and danced the night away!



           We Tye Died awesome shirts :) as you can see....


                                Frolicked on the beach...
                              watched fireworks
                              went sailing....
                           Played Football...

My mom took us out for a night on the town, we got all gussied up and went to a yacht club for dinner and dancing in a limo!









And as you can see Jerry and I can't resist a photo op.






One day we went out to the beach enjoying beautiful weather when out of NOwhere  a crazy storm came in and then left.....we all stayed on the beach trying to stick it out....My kids LOVED swimming in the torrential down pour!  Unfortunately such a down pour, left us with our cameras put away, but we got a few pics of the cute kids through out the vacation!!!







Then of course there was down time at the house.....



 Great Vacation!  Even though it was 20 minutes from home!!!!  Have I mentioned I love Florida?
