Vacation Time!!!

July 12th we traveled down to Destin, Florida with all of my Mom's family. Yes, there were 20+ people in one place! I know some families woulod end up in fights, and it would up in disaster. But we all had a great time.

As soon as we arrived Saturday evening we walked the two blocks down to the beach. This was my 46 yr. old mother's first! time to see the beach. It was an emotional time for her. This was Jassen's first time to vacation in Florida. As you may see Triana and Darel are missing. Triana accidentally took the wrong week off, and couldn't get it switched.

Just about everyday we went to the beach for little bit. The pool was the place of choice most of the time. I think Dakota is going to be like Monica and I and love the water. If he were only 10 lbs heavier, and 3 in. taller it wouldn't have been such an exercise for Jassen and I in the water.

We went to a couple of area attractions. We went to the Gulfarium (min. SeaWorld) one day. The adults were not that enthused, but Dakota loved it. We seen dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, alligators, penguins, sea lions, etc. We walked out on the pier next door. It was a fishing pier, and if you didn't watch out before you knew it you would be hooked ( literally). We saw a few big fish that had been caught. The jellyfish were horrible. You could see them from the pier. Even at the beach you had to watch out for them later in the day. On Wednesday we drove to Pensecola to the Naval Aviation Museum (pictures to come). Jassen and Fred could've stayed all day reading through all of the history. I did enjoy looking around, but I could only take in soo much.

It was a great week, and we had a good time. We were so grateful, and very blessed to be with our family.

Thanks Mammaw and Pappaw for starting all of this.
