Destin.ation


Dinner at the Back Porch with Friends


 
The troops ventured to Destin this weekend. The weather was perfect and we had a blast! We sunned, We swam, We (I) sipped frozen drinks by the beach, We visited with friends & We even held an Alligator. True story.
 
Some of my favorite People!

Brian & Collin
    








Me & Shell









         We drove over Saturday afternoon which took us a little longer than expected due to the Billy Bowlegs fest in Ft. Walton (which I was totally bummed to miss out on). I was one "How much longer?" from abandoning a child or 3 to walk the remainder of the trip when we arrived. Luckily a lounge chair and book was all I needed to calm my nerves. Melissa, Bryan, Erika & Collin arrived shortly after we did to spend the day with us. The kids had so much fun swimming in the pool & playing on the beach. Within minutes of arriving the girls of course had made a slew of new friends so they were surrounded by a pack of other kids their age for the remainder of the weekend. Good times. Once Michelle arrived we cleaned up, and headed to The Back Porch for dinner. The kids fell asleep at the table...overall, it was a pretty perfect day
The kiddo's checking out the shore at night


Heaven's starting fish stories early...this is how big she "says" the fish she caught with Nana & Papa is. I'm hearing reports of much closer to the 1 ft range...and that was "tops".




I have some SERIOUSLY amazing friends

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success! 

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
