Destin 2014

We made it back from Destin yesterday.  We had such a great vacation.  We went with my cousins and a couple from our church and their two kids.  Our beach house was great and I love having the water right outside our door.  The kids played great together which meant the adults were able to sit back and relax and enjoy our trip.  We had perfect weather and spent so much time in the water and sun.  I did get very sick one night but I was determined not to miss out on the fun so I loaded up on medicine and pushed thru.  I am so glad I did because that turned out to be one of my favorite days.  We went to Crab Island on a boat and rode jet skis, floated around, paddle boarded and looked for hermit crabs.  My kids loved it there.  Caden spent most of the trip with his goggles on diving in the water to see what he could find.  Jimmy and I decided he could easily be a beach bum.  He loved everything about the trip. He even surprised everyone by wanting to do a sort of bungy jumping thing that swings you back and forth.  I was extremely nervous about him doing it but he loved it!  Caden is our daredevil for sure.  He has told me he wants to sky dive when he turns 18 and now I actually believe he will.  Paige was on a mission to find as many shells and crabs as she could.  She was trilled to have another girl to play with and Reese was super sweet and took her under her wing.  Every night the kids were building forts, or making up games or something else to entertain themselves.  I had big plans to read some books I brought but honestly I just relaxed and enjoyed our family and friends.  I can't say enough about our trip.  I have sooo many pictures that I plan on making into a book but for now I just tried to get the highlights of the trip on here.  We are already planning for next year!
