Destin!

We had the best time in Destin!  Our good friends' daughter is turning one, so to celebrate, they rented a beach house and invited a bunch of friends to join in the fun.  We all waited for that special girl for such a long time and were thrilled to get to celebrate her. 

The weather was absolutely perfect on Thursday and Friday.  Seriously, I was amazed that it was only in the 80s.  The water was so pretty and there was hardly any seaweed, and I never once saw a jellyfish.  Shelby was in Heaven.  She definitely has my love for the beach.  She could stay out there for HOURS and HOURS if it were up to her.  Joey had mixed feelings about it.  She hates dry sand, and can tolerate wet sand.  Overall I think she liked it though.  On Friday she was so exhausted from all the fun we had she took about a 2 1/2 hour nap right there on the beach. 

I guess that nap really re-energized her though, because that night at Fudpucker's she danced for at least 45 minutes.  As soon as she heard this girl singing on stage and saw that some older girls were dancing, she jumped right out of my arms and started dancing with them.  And when they invited some girls onstage, Joey jumped right up there with them.  She was having the BEST time.  Everyone kept asking me how old she was, and a few of them were videoing her (which is actually kinda creepy).

Jenny did a great job with the party on Saturday.  Everything looked so cute, and the kids had a great time!

Seriously...we had so much fun!  Thank you Mike and Jenny for inviting us.  We love you!
