Beach-Departure

We headed out the last week of June for Destin, FL. We typically prefer to go in "off season"...like May or the beginning of September, but we chose last minute this year for June. It was quite a bit more crowded than we are used to, but Destin is Destin and we had a great time :)



Ohhh, poor Pastor Rick haha.... he hitched a ride with the Hudspeth/Hendrix clans to meet up with his family...he may have been regretting that decision when we said "here ya go, here's a kid to entertain" haha! Hopefully we weren't too terrible to travel with :)!!



Evie giving uncle hud a play-by-play on the oh so very entertaining barbie movie :)




The boys moved around quite a bit...I'm not gonna lie, it was a little stressful at moments,but luckily it was a fairly short trip. And you may wonder, "why not strap them in carseats?" Well,
1). we needed the seat room and 2). honestly we tried that on the way back and I would much rather deal with the antsy-ness than ear piercing screams from being ticked off!! :)
p.s.-they were most certainly strapped down for take off and landing :)





White sandy beaches and beautiful blue water to come...

  2. Our Hudspeth family has that same little white tv :)
    Glad you had a great time! That was not too far from us! My sister lives in Gulf Shores & I love Destin as much as Gulf Shores!

  3. Love seeing all the beach pics! Okay this is random but just saw on Amber's post pictures of the girls and saw they have on puddle jumpers. We're going to the beach in a little over a week and didn't know if I should get a life jacket or those for Perri. Did Drew wear that in the ocean? Thanks girl!

  4. We love ours! I got one for Bennett and even works great for him although he technically doesn't meet the weight requirement :) it was great in the ocean! They are certified PFD for boats too (can't be pulled behind a boat in one though) we bought drew's at dick's sporting goods but ordered bennett's on amazon
