Destin Beach Vacation


We went to the beach in mid-Aug. with my side of the family. I didn't have my camera on the beach so I'll have to post those pictures later. But I did get a couple great pictures of the girls in white linen dresses on the beach.


The cousins looked cute on the beach together, too.


Adeline became much more comfortable in the pool with her floaty bathing suit. She was swimming all over the pool without being held by the end of the week. Both girls loved playing in the sand, the pool, and the ocean. They were both scared of the ocean at first because of the waves, but both became comfortable once they were being held in the water. They enjoyed riding the waves with the excepting of getting saltwater in their eyes and mouth when a large wave would come along. But as the week went on the waves became calmer, and that was less intimidating. Maylen and Adeline were troopers about staying up way past their normal bedtime, and they certainly enjoying the attention they got from their aunt and grandparents.
William wasn't able to be at the beach the whole week because he had to be back at school. So he flew to Memphis and then flew back to the beach at the end of the week. We miss him being at the beach with us. The sweetest thing was when William came back, Maylen said to him, "we missed you, Daddy! We wanted you!" I know he savored those words for a long time.
