Beach Trip!

...
Okay if you continue to read this blog post consider yourself warned that this is perhaps the largest media upload yet...

Beachland. I think that I was perhaps supposed to have been born in beachland and yet somehow was displaced to North Texas. Don't get me wrong...Texas is good and all... but beachland... we just look like we belong there--- don't you think?

The trip down was actually really fun. I love road trips and luckily so does Kelly... whew. We made the drive in just under 11 hours which was a WONDERFUL surprise! Driving through the night with sleeping kids is DEFINITELY the way to go. We had a little fun of course to keep ourselves entertained...



Destin is just so beautiful! I grew up coming to this beach so it was really incredible to see Molly and Gabriel experience it for the first time. They were such beach babies!
Only in beachland can you be an oceanside DIVA.

Beach snacks are the BEST food you could eat because your tummy is always a little hungrier in beachland.
Beachland is great for castle building...


and letting it all hang out...


The beach is the perfect setting for a debate with papa...

And some quality time with your cousins.


Beach life is just SO MUCH FUN...



Personally, what better way is there to welcome summer than with poolside swimming


And popsicles...

Outings in beachland can be very busy...


And full of adventures (especially if you are given a small metal weapon)

Looking back... This was the perfect getaway for our family and one that we are SO thankful for!

That was so fun to watch! I feel like I was there! The kiddos will love being able to watch the videos when they are older and see just how darn cute they were (are) when they were little. Love you guys!
