June

Well the garage has been transformed into a playroom/daddy room.  The girls love having a room for their toys & Daddy loves having a room to entertain friends!  Thank you, Lord for making this happen!

DESTIN 2012

Sat - we arrived around 11:30 pm destin time.  Daddy finished the ihcc MG, came home & packed & we headed to Florida.  We stayed in St. Martin 1401 - amazing condo, even had a separate steam room!

Sun - double red flag, beach time, rain, pool time with uncle dave.  Enjoyed dinner at Louisianna Langiappe for chautifula-cha's bday.

Mon - double red again, beach, collect shells, sunny, lunch in condo, beach, pool with Wilson, playground, Moes /Wendys for dinner - I ate my dinner on the balcony overlooking the ocean...be
Tue - beach, pool, dave's destin dirtnap, cw cell wet, alvins with girls to pick out game night prizes.  Datenight at Cantina Laredo...cw kept talking about cats & meowing.  We then went for icecream for dessert.  Many lau beachgs! beach, lunch from sandbar in condo, mj meltdown which led to first nap of the trip, back to the beach.

Wed - cw headed to verizon for new phone, when back we all headed to the beach.  I asked cw if he wanted a ziploc bag for his phone and he said no.  His phone got wet at the beach yesterday & died.  LG wouldn't let him leave the condo without putting his phone in a ziploc :).  We ordered lunch from the sandbar & quickly took it to our condo...MJ was having a meltdown.  She took a 3 hour nap (1st nap of the trip) & then we joined LG & Daddy at the pool for a swim with Wilson.

Thurs - I hit the outlets at 10 am when they opened.  Went to Gap, Childrens Place & then Forever21.  On my way back I (of course) turned the wrong way & before I realized it I was entering the bridge to leave Destin.  Uggghhh!  I almost did a u-turn on the bridge but decided I would go ALL the way across the bridge & then I made a u-turn so I wouldn't have to go through the toll & pay.  Daddy & the girls enjoyed the morning at the beach and pool, then headed in for lunch and for Daddy to watchthe US Open.  We were going to have Cha-Cha's christmas picture taken of the grandkids, but, Alexis & Brynna got stuck in traffic from Seaside and it took them 3 hour round trip.  Meanwhile, Ty, Wilson & Brian were at our condo.  Ty fell & busted his chin open.  Since Alexis wasn't back, Dave stepped in and brought all the medical supplies over.  Ty was such a champ!  The adults enjoyed a delicious dinner at Ruths Chris (Wilsons' 46th anniversary/Fathers day) while all the cousins stayed back at the condo.  There were many subway stories told, many laughs, & Doc made a toast that we are all blessed to live in the same city!  Cheers!

Fri - We layed around all morning...tv, naps, reading.  We enjoyed some lunch and then hit the beach for our last day.  MJ's swimmie hurt her eye so she and cw headed back to the condo for a break (& to watch US Open).  They later came back to the beach, the kids buried each other in the sand making mermaids, built sandcastles, played in the waves and had a ball together.  Daddy picked up Mellow Mushroom for dinner while we stayed & did laundry & stared packing up.  It is always a contest each year between us & Dave to see who will get back to Macon first.  Alexis said she was going to win this year (& she did)!  We went over to C&D's to thank them for the week & say our goodbyes.

Sat - CW wakes me up at 6:30 am with a "let's go"!  Seriously?  The car was already packed so we grabbed what was left & hit the road. 

MJ said, "I'm gonna wiwy miss dis pwace cuz you know I have a tb in my womb but not at our house".
As we were waiting on Daddy & LG to come back from packing the car, she looked at me and said, "mama, my heart is pounding".  I asked her why and she said, "decuz I have so much wuv in it.  Mama, I wuv you.  I wuv being with my family".  Priceless.

On our way home we stopped at BK for breakfast, yes, I was shocked that cw "allowed" this since we were in a competition.  He ordered one biscuit and went to order more and they said he had just ordered the LAST biscuit & it would take 6 minutes for the new ones...seriously?  He cancelled the order (not sure that BK heard the cancel) and we went across the street to McD.  He ordered successfully and as were are pulling out MJ said her tummy hurt & she needed to throw up.  Soooo, as all great moms do, I handed her a plastic bag, she threw up like a champ and we were on our way to Macon.  Never a dull moment.  I sure do LOVE my family!

Update:  Cha-Cha told cw that D&A want to stay in their same condo next year (A doesn't like being on high floor), B&S don't want our condo, & C&D don't want it b/c it only has one room overlooking ocean, sooooo, the condo is ours for next year - woohoo!
