Destin: Part 2

Saturday
We headed to our favorite fried grouper place for lunch & did a little shopping before heading home for a nap.

What a cutie


Taking Gigi on a wagon ride after nap- yes, he was actually pulling her!


We headed to the beach after dinner (did that often because it was much cooler!) Lots of wind on this night, but still managed to get some good pictures!




















Sunday
After church we ate lunch on the harbor! Austin really enjoyed going down to look at all the fishing boats.










Saw this cute guy- Austin wasn't too fond of him though!


Sitting on the docks




We drove over the bridge later because I wanted to get a picture of the place where everyone goes to party- it's a shallow sandbar! FUN!


After nap time we went to Nana & Jim's house (my parents' friends) to swim! He loved jumping in the pool and got really brave with the float!








Family fun in the pool


Back to the beach after dinner












Check out that jump


This is so typical of his age- I asked him to say cheese and then he could get down. Worked so well, obviously.

Destin: Part 1

We had a great trip to Destin! Since there are so many pics, I will be breaking the trip into several blog posts... here goes!

Wednesday/Thursday
We flew in on Wednesday evening and decided we'd hit beach first thing on Thursday! I was worried about if Austin would like the beach because it terrified him last May. He was a little fearful of the sound of the waves at first, but loved it in no time!

Playing in the sand- CHEESE!


A little bit timid


Me & my little man

Checking things out


After dinner we headed to the kiddie park for rides! We weren't intending on taking him on the bumper boats or go cart... but he was tall enough to go with an adult. He LOVED this place! Thankfully we were able to take advantages of the "locals discount" on tickets!

Bumper boats


Go carts with Daddy


Riding the train with Mommy (not so exciting after go carts)


Flying on the airplanes


Friday
On Friday we headed back to the kiddie park- but this time Mommy got to have some fun!


Yes, he sticks out his tongue like me


He really thinks he's driving- LOL!


Carousel with Gigi


FISH


Austin talked about the "monkey" every time we drove by. He was actually terrified of it!


Shane & I


A few random pics from the day! A beautiful look at the calm bay


New jibbitz- he wanted to put them ALL on.


A little golf on the course after dinner

Father's Day Gift

Shane needed a new tall coffee mug, so we made him one for Father's Day! It's Austin's handprint upside down made into a longhorn (you can't see the horns very well in this pic!) And when I say "made", I mean we went to Sunshine Glaze & had them do Austin's handprint... and then had the artist design the rest. :)


Bottom of the mug


Inside is also painted orange!


I thought she did a great job overall- loved the little UT design on the handle too. You can also see one of the horns better in this pic. Shane loved it!
