Playing at the Park

After church today we headed over to the park to eat and play!
John tried to back flip off of the fence to get some of the girls down there to play.
I think everyone had a great time despite how hot it was.
Yes, that is Brandon in the bright shirt!
Britton was very excited to be with "everyone"!

Flying Home

We woke up this morning and started packing :( We had a little bit of a later flight than my parents and Britton did not understand why he wasn't leaving with Papa! I know Britton had a great time but I think he had the most fun just playing with Papa all week.
We packed and left Destin and headed to Panama City. We stopped at Panera to eat and then went by Target. Brandon found an amazing deal on a golf bag so he decided to buy it. Luckily, we had given my parents one of our bags to carry with them. We had also downsized one of our bags since Robert didn't have enough room for his stuff and switched bags. The problem now was with everything we had, an extra coffee pot I told my mom I'd pack, we didn't have enough room!
We headed back through Dillards where Britton just touched this mannequin and the arm fell off. You should've seen his face!
So, we found this bag on super clearance, 70% off and bought it for all our extra stuff! We were just going to carry some more on the plane but this saved us from having to do that.
When we arrived at the airport we had to park a little ways away to return the van. You should've seen us trying to pack all this stuff inside! All our bags, stroller and 2 carseats. When we were about 30 feet away, one of those transport guys drove by and said "do you want a ride now?" I was wondering where he was 15 minutes ago!
Finally we made it all inside with all our stuff! Our flight was running a little behind but the kids did great, especially since Britton didn't have a nap! Time to go home!

Destin - Day 7

We began this morning with a little walk on the beach. Here is Britton's footprints!
After a nice walk, we had a little breakfast.
Britton has now decided to call her great Oma.
Paityn was all ready for the pool.
She couldn't figure out the shoes though!
Britton was being silly and doing everything but putting on his swimming suit. He came out wearing only this hat and said he was ready to go swimming!
I think great Oma has had a really good time.
Britton has loved swimming so much and has really gotten more comfortable with the water this week.
I have timed Paityn's nap in the morning for when we go out to the pool so I have a little time to swim with Britton!
And yes, Britton jumped in the water again all morning!

After swimming, we headed inside for some pizza. Britton has followed and played with Papa constantly!
Us girls when shopping after lunch and when we came back, played with Britton before dinner.
We decided to walk to the Back Porch tonight.
Paityn hadn't had a good nap all day since we had gone shopping and fell fast asleep all through dinner.
Britton has had so much fun with Papa and Oma. I'm not sure how next week is going to be!
Britton managed to get a new shirt from Oma and Papa from the Back Porch. He went looking, came back and was talking all about it! Now he won't take it off!

We walked back to our hotel on the beach. Mom had bought some flashlights so Britton and Papa led the way and found tons of crabs for us to see!
We came back to our condos and had some ice cream. Now it's time to pack; I don't want to go home!

Destin - Day 6

We had a nice and relaxing day today.
Paityn tried sweet potatoes for the first time and loved them.
We went swimming in the pool and Britton jumped and jumped,
and jumped and jumped.
These are our condos in the background. We are on the 4th floor. It is actually the same place that we stayed last year, we had a great time then as well! Bethany came last year and Britton asked why Aunt Bethany didn't come and live with us at this house at the beach this time. So sweet!

Did I tell you that Britton jumped? He didn't stop!
He is our little fish, he just loves swimming and the water.
This afternoon, Papa, Oma and grandmama watched the kids while Brandon and I went shopping and for dinner. We ate at Bonefish Grill; it was great!
When we got back, Britton was chilling with Papa.
He wants to do whatever Papa does.
Here they were laughing about something. They had been singing Jesus loves me and then toasting their Diet Pepsi as well.
Britton was exhausted but wanted to watch a little Shrek with Papa before bed.
What a great way to end the night, sitting on the deck and listening to the ocean. We also topped it off with some ice cream!
