Destin 2015

We had a great week in Destin with our Meece side of the family! We had mostly beautiful weather and the cousins got to enjoy lots of beach play time. It is always so good to see everyone! 
Tyler happened to get Friday off, so Skylar skipped her last half day of school, and we headed out!  

It was a long day, but the girls did pretty good and we made it to the beach just in time for dinner at Pompano Joes! 













All settled in for the night in our hotel! :) It was a little cozy for everyone but Savannah, who enjoyed a big bed all to herself...
Catching up on some hotel reading...
Powering up for the day! :) Coffee was a staple this week with lots of early mornings! Sky had one really bad night and was up most of the night and then started our day at 4:45 :/, but compared to years past, the nights went better than usual! And no one was sick or threw up all week, so that was great!  
Savannah loved pretending to work at the office desk...
We walked to the farmers market in the morning and then headed to Fudpucker's for lunch...
The girls thought the live alligators were pretty cool! 
After lunch, we waited at the outlet mall for everyone to get in to town! We attempted to check in to our house early and got reprimanded lol. But we finally got in to our house and everyone made it! 
Beautiful first morning out on the beach!...














Cuties!!
These two had such a great time together all week!




Headed to the beach!...










Happy Memorial Day!




Can't handle the cuteness!!










This sweet girl got her first ever sunburn :( We tried a new sunscreen and it was no match for protecting her ivory skin! The sunburn, combined with super active days and not long nights, led to some tearful nights during showers and getting dressed. But, she rallied and put on a happy face the best she could! Uncle Jack and Aunt Lori got her some aloe too and that helped!  


Sunset off the back deck...
Perfect way to start the day! 




Making sand castles with Wilson...




Family pics!...


Mimi and the kiddos!...


Sleepy, greased up girls waiting for Mommy and Daddy to be ready...









These girls do not look ready for the cousin photo shoot lol...



They are all adorable even when no one looks happy...




Love this picture of Mimi and the girls!


Reading with silly Aunt Minde :) ...


Flying kites with Uncle James...



Aunt Lori and sweet little Beau...
I LOVE it when Skylar is happy on the beach! She has her moments where she will happily play in her bucket with toys, or write in the sand, but she also has her moments where she hates to be hot or wants to go in and will not stop reminding us of that :) But, when she is cooled off and is loving being with all of her people- all is right in the world!






I love this picture of everyone in the Pooloozi! 



Our last night and dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise...

The whole gang!





All packed up and headed home again! :(
Happily entertained in the car for a little bit with some wooden dowels???
And of course smoothies!
A little fresh air at one of our favorite rest stops...
Yay we're almost home! 
Skylar's seat when we got home...
Can't wait to do it all again in 2017 with a new nephew!!
