Destin, Florida!!!

This past week we spent the entire week in Destin, Florida.  The WHOLE family.  14 of us total.  It was a lot of fun and I cherish the good times we have like that as a family.  Luckily we had a big enough house to where we could spread out and get out of each others hair for some peace and quiet if need be. Each couple took a night to cook a good dinner and we went out once. It was a long relaxing week but I was happy to get home to Texas.  It was only a 10 hour drive from Houston and Caroline did great.  She's use to the 6 hour drive home to North Texas but I wasn't sure how she would do adding on another 4 hours.  She rocked it!  Lots of Elmo, Nemo, peek a boo, books, and searching for cows and horses got us through.  I couldn't ask for a better little girl!! I want to say thank you to my wonderful husband who organized and put the trip together.  From the fabulous house to the boat we rented to where we bought fresh seafood for seafood night at the house, he had it covered!  Thanks sweetie!! I have a lot of pictures to share so sorry for the photo overload.

This is where C spent 99% of her time on the beach, not a fan of the sand! :(
