More Florida pics

The Thursday evening we had dinner out and then went to the Destin Harbor Walk. I really like the Harbor Walk.  People walk about to see boats, there is a lot of live music, fun stuff for kids, etc. On Thursdays they have fireworks at night over the harbor.  It was a great night!

 Silly girl!

Addie's lobster impression.

We met Captain Jack on the harbor last year and he was back in the same place making balloon animals.  Kate was a little hesitant at first, but she managed to still pose for a picture with the "real live pirate".

There were a lot of these cut-out paintings.  Kate loved them.  Look at her expression! 

The girls got ice cream while the parents got drinks. :)

Girl loves her some ice cream.

 

The girls got glittery face paint.  Shew, was it sparkly and bright!

 

There is that squinchy face grin again.

 

Mamaw and Papaw had us pose with the tropical birds.  Both girls did really well.

 

Finally time for the fireworks.  

 

It was an awesome night with our family!  Kate was "talking" about the fireworks a lot the next day.  She kept saying, "Firework!  Boom, boom!"

Florida: rewind

I will get these Florida pictures and move on to some other posts. I will! I had forgotten that I had downloaded some pictures from Annette's camera on Jeremy's computer when we were there so I wanted to put them up.  A bit of a rewind from the other posts.  Most of the pictures are from before I got to Florida.

Papaw and Mamaw's tradition is to stop at a certain exit in Alabama to take a picture of them pretending to hold the peach from the water tower.  Jeremy and the girls joined them with their tradition this time.

 

Game of checkers before eating lunch. 

And they finally made it to the beach!  They went immediately looking for crabs and seashells.  They used bags Aunt Tiffany made for them.

And apparently my children were in their pajamas all morning, day and night. Ha!

 

Dinner the next day...

Cheese!

I think this is a great picture of Jeremy.   Cutie hubby!  Hee hee.

Great picture of Annette and John.

The night we went to ride go-carts Kate wanted to ride them too, but since she was too little she opted for the carousel instead.  Well, it wasn't as great as she thought it would be.  She cried the entire time!  And I laughed.  Such a mean mom.

 

 

Waiting in line for go-carts.

The girls loved going hunting for crabs at night.  They both still talk about it.  Addie would pinch them with her fingers and scoop them right up.  Teenagers were walking by with nets for the crabs and then would be surprised to see this 5-year-old girl using just her hands.  Love it!

S'mores after we grilled out.  I think everyone enjoyed them.

Florida: Part 2

The next day Jeremy, John and Jeff (John's best friend) went golfing so I hung out on the beach and at the pool with the girls.  That night we had a big cookout.  Jeremy grilled swordfish, salmon, shrimp and more.  So good!

Cousin love!

 

 

My mom bought the girls matching outfits for Florida.  I was trying to get a picture of them together, but both weren't really cooperating.  I asked them to pose and this is what I got.  Hilarious!  Am I in trouble or what?

The following day we did the usual...pool then beach!  

 

 

 

I think this might be my favorite picture of the trip.  So much joy!

Trying to boogie board...

 

Addie spend a lot of time collecting seashells.  

Kate really loved the ocean!

 

Love this one too!  How will I ever decide which ones to print and then eventually frame?  (When I actually do print them which happens about once a year...Ha!)

Fun in the sand
