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!

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

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

5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The Who's Who of Whoville

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair!
