We took a little trip to Destin, FL a couple of weeks ago. Jarin had some military training at Hurlburt Field, so we tagged along and had some great family time together while we were there.
We met up with Andrea Blum and her little boy Austin and they took us out to the jetty to climb the rocks and see some fish. In spite of the foggy, cool day, we had a great time. Nate loves the camera and says "cheethe" every time he sees it come out.
Jesse was so scared! I don't know if it was the dreary weather conditions or the size of the rocks with the water below or its likeness to the Goonies movie, but he was not excited at all about being there. He actually only went about half way out to the end, and turned back. Poor guy!
Jarin's dad made us a really great set of chimes for Christmas one year. He was a master at coming up with very meaningful creative gifts. We have really enjoyed these. Our kids are getting old enough to join in the fun now!
We saw some fishermen who were catching Grouper. This guy stopped and let the kids check out his catch. Elle was trying to keep the fish alive by pouring water on them!
Jesse "fell asleep" on Jarin. When I started talking about what a great boy he is, he gave me this giant sleepy grin!!
We brought the Wii along in case of inclement weather. Glad we did!
We checked out the local science museum. That's always a big hit with our kids. The bubble room was their favorite part!
Somehow, the kids ended up in our bed every morning. It was fun to have such a leisurely start to our day.
The fourth morning, the sun finally graced us with its presence. We played on the beach for a good portion of the day, then swam in the pool. Ahhhh! We did that every day anyway, but just for shorter periods of time.
