Destin Day Four

Well, every day can't be perfect. Some bad luck today. We started the day off with a 2 hour ride of Seadoos, but choppy seas, clouds, wind, a thunderstorm, and a constant beeping warning light made the experience less than awesome. But hanging out as a family and seeing a few dolphins still made the time worth while. (Plus we got to see three girl flip their Seadoo) :)
We then headed to the beach but a LOT off moss came in and the sea was a green soup. As we sat on the beach waiting for it to go away a strong thunderstorm came in. So after a nap and a quick trip to the surf shop, we made it back to the beach at sunset.
Been a great trip. Can't wait till next year!

Destin Day Three

Another long day at the beach

A small storm in the middle of the afternoon, allowed us to take a much needed nap. The waves were much bigger today, so the kids got to play on the body boards and tubes a lot. They all got good at riding the waves all the way into shore.

Zander practiced his football catching skills in the waves.


We took a late evening walk on the beach and played our new favorite game "beach paddles." Zander and my new record is "58." Mom is still learning how to play. :)


Mexican seafood closed out the night... kids wanted to go home and sleep more than eat...The sand and sun is wearing them out.

Destin Day Two

Our Cabana

The boys woke up early. The sun comes up at the crack of dawn here (pun intended). So the Turners hit the day on a few hours sleep. After a trip to the grocery store and a surf shop, we loaded up 5 body boards, two chairs, one umbrella, one cooler, and two beach bags and headed 300 yards south.

With only a brief dry sandwich lunch break, we stayed at the beach for about 9 hours. All went well except for Zander's shorts. The boy has NO butt and his pants keep falling down.

Had a "green flag" day and a little seaweed in the late afternoon. Wasn't crowded and our sand neighbors were great.

Cajun food and Walmart finished up the day, and we all CRASHED about five minutes after walking in the door at 9:30pm.

Changes in latitude, changes in attitude.....
