gulfarium

the gulfarium is a teeny tiny sea world "like" place....and a time honored tradition :) i grew up going so we, of course, drag the kids every year (they LOVE it).  5 of the guys went to play a round of golf (brandon included), so we took off to watch dolphins, sea lions, sharks and more!!

shark tank....beckett's fav.  notice ellis has 2 of the dolphins at this point in the trip...

cutie pie.

beckett looks like he is on the brady bunch intro :)

i think we had 14 of us representing...

ec sitting with some pals...

that in the middle is giselle (one of my cousin's little girl)...ellis and beckett were obsessed with her!!!  she is 6 months older than beckett.  i think she and beckett look so much alike!!

bebe and ec

what a lucky girl!!  she got 2 leftover icee's once her brother and sister were finished :)

love this crazy girl...

can't wait to go back!!

destin: emery edition

i have never seen anything quite like emery catherine on the beach.  she was nucking futs.  seriously. crazy.  taking off into the ocean every chance she got and mad as hell when i tried to hold her hand.  it was hilarious.  she would get knocked over by a wave, i would fish her out of the ocean (she would be laughing), and then wanted to do it all over again.  she is my first child to love the sand at this age too.  bonus.  she also looked really cute while being cray cray :)

i also want to send a shout out to emery for sleeping so perfectly while in destin.  she slept till 9 or later everyday...and was in bed by 7.  napped 1-4.  the ocean takes it out of a girl!

 first day.  hmmm...what is this large body of water i see in front of me?

 me likey sand.

 throwing it all over herself.

 making a break for it...as you can see by her hair, she had gone under a number of times already

 loved this fountain...

 the little mermaid :)

 i realized on the last night there that i wasn't in one single picture from the trip.  how shitty is that?  about as shitty as these pictures turned out!!!!  oh well :)
