Beach pictures

Momma wanted a group picture on the beach. We originally opted for an "all white" picture but the photographer that I found suggested different using different colors other than white so we did! The photographer I found was awesome! I googled and emailed a ton of photographers and came across this sweet girl who graciously agreed to do a session with us. If anyone is interested in pictures in Destin, I highly recommend Sarah Lyn Photography. Sarah Lyn is full of life and the best photographer with a TON of energy and is great with little kids in making them smile. She literally had us laughing the entire session. Can't wait to see the proofs!

Of course I had my camera snapping a few behind her but they won't be of the quality that she got! Enjoy!

Wednesday - Last Beach Day for us

Wednesday came so fast and we were not prepared for our fun trip to come to an end! We had so much fun and Will was excellent on this trip! He absolutely loved the beach and the pool and cried when we had to get out. Wednesday we did everything possible to enjoy one last day on the beach before we had to go home! We literally stayed as long as we could and life was great! Be prepared for picture overload!

Check to see if there is water in the watering pot

If so dump it out

Then proceed to dump the pink bucket over

Make sure it's all gone

Dump the blue bucket

Double check and make sure it's all gone too

Then go mess with Mary, Peyton and Anna Grace as they are building sandcastles

Then play with Nana in the water

Look cute and play in the water

Cheesin' on the beach

Proceed to get up with sand in both hands

Run and chase Momma, the one with the camera, and attempt to throw sand at her. All in a days work for this little one! 

We had an early dinner again that night because we scheduled pictures with an awesome photographer in Destin at 6:45 that night. We opted for dinner at Messina's, which is seafood/italian mix and it was ok. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we had the whole place to ourselves.

Tuesday- More Beach

Tuesday was the same story but we started off the day by going to the pool. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures that were taken at the pool but let's just say it was fun! We stayed majority of the day at the pool and then went down to the beach for a few hours before the Rebels played their second game of the College World Series which started at 2pm that afternoon. Doug took Will up to take a nap and watch the game so I got to stay down at the beach and relax and get some sun!

After the Rebels exciting win in the College World Series it was time for dinner at Cafe Thirty A. It's a good relaxing dinner and we absolutely love this restaurant!

Monday - More beach time

Monday was another beautiful day at the beach. Great breakfast and more beach time was the name of the game.

Snack time on the beach is always fun! 

It's always fun when Aunt Mary makes you wear the sand bucket on your head

Then makes fun of you! 

Will playing in the ocean water. 

Anything that was water he wanted to play with. So much different than last year which made for one HAPPY mommy! It's so weird because he knew his limitations with the water and knew how far he wanted to go. He would just sit and scoop water all day long if we would let him! Not afraid at all! 

Makes my heart so happy!

After the beach we rode into Destin for dinner at the Louisiana Lagniappe which was delicious! We had a wonderful dinner on the patio outside and we were able to watch the boats come in. It was one of the best "scenery" dinners we had!
