We just returned from a week short vacation. We went to Destin, Florida and were fortunate enough to have my best friend and her family go with us. We had a blast. As you can see.
I love this shot of Cooper. He lost both of his two front teeth the week before we left. He wanted to save one of them to put under his pillow at the beach to see if the toothfairy could find him. She sure did. She snuck into his room and put the money is a giant seashell. How cool is that toothfairy?
By the end of the trip, I could totally have left his little butt buried in the sand.
I love this shot of all of the kiddos. I framed it for my friend. It's a secret.
We ate lots of seafood. Cooper ate his first crablegs.
My kids had so much more fun at the beach than they normally do. It makes a ton of difference to have kids to play with.
This big girl will be ten in July. Where has the time gone?
In summary I learned a few things over the week.
1. fruit by the foot can and will be used against you in a motor vehicle.
2. if you get diarreah, go ahead and administer the Imodium AD after the first run to the potty. Don't just wish that it will go away, cause it will not.
3. krispy kreme doughnuts are better hot.
4. Breathe in, breathe out and move on.
5. Baby turtles make a lot of poop. Not a good pet.
6. Pay bills that are due while you are gone before you leave or otherwise they will be late. Duh...
7. It's fun to step outside of the box, especially with a good friend.
8. Real friends are always real friends, no matter how much time or what consequences have seperated you.
9. My kids need real work with table manners and ordering skills.
10. Always read the bottle of BBQ sauce carefully. Hot is a bad thing.
11. Real friends walk by each other out into the ocean to pee. I was on jellyfish watch while my bff peed. That's true friendship in my book. It sure beat walking all the way across the street to the real potty.
12. Rival Sno cone machines can be a lifesaver when the ice cream truck doesn't run. The darn thing ran like 6 times a day last year and we had to call it to come this year. What the heck?
13. Outdoor breakfasts rock.
14. There's no place like vacation.
