Destin Family Fun

We recently returned from a week-long vacation in Destin, Florida - AKA Paradise. It was lovely. The beach was amazing, the water, weather, house, company; all of it was wonderful. We coordinated the trip with Jack's whole family and collectively rented a very nice house RIGHT on the beach. It was perfect, Jack and I could enjoy the beach while Shelby was sleeping and the 6 other big kids could come and go as they please. The trip was very welcomed. Between being pregnant and having a newborn, it had been a while since we had been on a true vacation.

Some highlights included...

• Family talent show
• Crab hunting
• Sand Dollar Diving
• Shark swimming by - eek!
• Banana Boat Ride
• My cute and super fat 7 month nephew, Davin
• Shimp boil
• 7 days off work :)

Lowlights...

• Toddler on an airplane and I'll leave it at that. UGH!
• Jack getting a sunburn on Day 1

We took 754 photo over a 7 day period, so it's tough to pick out highlights, but below are a few. Shelby is a WILD CHILD. She loved the beach and refused to sleep if there was action. One night she stayed up until 11pm!

For perspective, our house is in the background....the left half of the one right "over Jack's head."
