Destin {Catch a Wave}

If you're sick of hearing and seeing pictures of our trip to Destin...than I would suggest you just move along...because I have more to share!  ha!  I'll admit that it is major picture overload...and really the first one looks about the same as the one-hundredth one...but the kids, and Dan, were thrilled to get their pictures taken!  {okay...I'm lying...but they were very cooperative and I want to thank them tons for letting me point my camera at them for a week...and they'll thank me some day when they get to go back and remember how much fun we had...right?  Of course!}

So then...

We had a blast with the waves here!  They were fierce...but so much fun to ride them onto the shore! 

Emily would crack us up because she would get pounded by a wave and come out with a huge smile on her face!  I kept asking, "Are you okay?!"  And she'd say, "Yeah, that was fun!"

I was a little more cautious...but had a good time too! 
{I have to remain cool for as long as possible to them!  I'm pretty sure in a year or two they will not want to be seen with me riding the waves!  ha!}

I mean these were some powerful waves...there were kids actually surfing on them!

The waves were as calm as could be on our last day...and the kids enjoyed looking for seashells with their goggles on...and I was able to enjoy a more relaxing float too!

If Alex and Emily weren't digging in the sand...the waves were most definitely a huge hit!

...and once again...Ellie was just fine...as long as she was just far enough away from the sand and water!

{...to be continued...and continued...!}
