Saturday
Well we were all so excited to arrive at Destin...we enjoyed "pizza night" at D & C's condo.
Sunday
Spent the day at the beach & pool. MJ jumped into the pool to us - we had to help her "jump" a little. We also threw (gently, of course) her back & forth to each other...she loved it! We also found out that MJ would have stayed in the outside shower the whole week if we would have let her.
We experienced the scare of our life at the beach today...Chris looked up & said, "where's LG?" I quickly scanned the ocean & saw NOTHING to put my heart at ease. I was reminding myself NOT to panic & take deep breaths. I kept looking into the vastness of the ocean & not seeing her. My heart was pounding. Aunt A ran to the pool, while Daddy & I continued looking on the beach. It was such a helpless feeling...I kept praying, "Lord, just please let us find her!" Random strangers were asking us what was wrong & helping us look. Meanwhile, of course, I have MJ that I'm trying not to lose, too, while looking for LG. Chris had walked down the beach & was talking to a little girl who said, "is that her?" Chris looked towards the ocean & low & behold, there was LG happily playing in the waves! THANK YOU, GOD! Those were the worst few minutes of my life!
That night, we headed to Louisianna Lagnappe for a delicious meal. MJ enjoyed her ketchup - she is obsessed with ketchup - we put it on her plate & she goes to town! She's our "ketchup girl." This year, instead of Dave being loud, it was Daddy. People at other tables kept starring at our table. I took the kids out to look at the boats & MJ's diaper was so wet, it just dropped onto the dock - hilarious. I picked her & the diaper up & just prayed that she would not tee-tee on my before I could get back to the table & into the bathroom to put a diaper on her. Of course, I had not even brought extra diapers...thankfully, aunt S did!

Monday
The girls were eating Apple Jacks & LG was talking about how delicious they were - hey, it's vacation...sugary cereals, here we come! LG said, "I'm like a vaccum cleaner & she's (MJ) a teensie-weensie pig, just a teensie weensie one."
We enjoyed date night tonight...we sat in the "family" booth that included interrogation lighting. We began to wonder if the AC was working. A & I enjoyed a few "shady ladies." We enjoyed our meal & then headed to Scoops where CW proceeded to buy 6 giant suckers for the kids that came in after us...
Wednesday
Enjoyed more beautiful weather & headed back for nachos that night. We also had our own dance club in the kitchen with the ipod...
Thursday
We celebrated D & C's 43rd anniversary at Ruth's Chris...D gave a fabulous toast - I don't think there was a dry eye! We, of course, went down memory lane & enjoyed another wonderful dinner!
Friday
The guys enjoyed an early round of golf & then we spent the entire day on the beach...does life get any better?
Destin '09...sleeping with our balcony door open listening to the waves, green flag EVERY day, crystal clear water, eating on the balcony, ocean breeze, 803, sand castles, crabs, ipod, dum-dums, coloring, naps, shopping, beuatiful views, golf, cousins...Many thanks to C & D for another great week in Destin!

looks like a fun trip!!!
We just missed y'all in Destin! Where do you stay? Let me know next time you go. My parents have a condo at Hidden Dunes, and we go several times a year; so maybe we can hang out down there sometime! Would love to catch up in person....Enjoyed your cute pictures!
What a nice vacation, I'm glad you are having such a fun summer!
I know that must have been so scary about MJ- I can't imagine.
Hey, so glad you included the Speedo pic- classic!
Love all the cute bathing suits the girls are sporting!
