the vacation continued

get comfortable. this might be the longest post ever.

day 2 on the beach turned out to be a little overcast. not really a terrible thing when you have little ones. we didn't have to re-apply nearly as much!






best buddies. lil loves her dow






day 4 brought much of the same only with a little rain. which gave us the opportunity to hit up the outlet mall.

the gals again.


when it came to dinner, we ate at home almost every night. ne ne was excited to cook after being in ireland for 10 days and we were all completely fine about that! pasta night=naked babies


what's with the face lil?






day 4 at the beach...the sun was back in full force! i think my little rebel finally realized that maybe mommy is right and i should keep my hat on for a change. that sun is bright!


got their crabbin' nets ready. we caught one tiny crab


still under the umbrellas...that a boy!




biker babe




to liven up the vaca, ali & dow decided to do a little parasailing. i went along to take pics. it looked like so much fun. they said it was amazing...so peaceful up there. i guess they don't consider 4 kids under 3 peaceful?!?


little nervous al?






they were about 400 feet above the water.


a little dip to cool them off






on thursday we decided to take a beach break and play at pool. my baby is becoming a big girl more and more everyday. this trip she learned how to go all the way under!! such a little fishy. olympics here we come....






everyone enjoyed a little break from the sand!




time to add another brendy quote. since he was convinced the dottie's destin house was his own...as we were all sitting at dinner one night he says "hey guys, know what my house has? an elevator!" he was so very proud of his "new house"


it's not a party until everyone's in the tub!




ok, finished! are you still with me? that was pretty much our whole week. beach, pool, eat. pretty great right? we did head out to the beach on friday evening to have a mini photo shoot. those pictures deserve their own post. they are that cute! stay tuned...
