Some of Summer in a Nut Shell

We have had such a crazy summer! The other day a girl from work told me that she was proud of me for taking so many vacations this summer! ahhhhh! I have taken alot more time off than normal but I am loving all the fun vacations and little short weekend trips we have done! Gabe and I on our way home from our 6 year anniversary weekend getaway, decided something is wrong with me .... we have driven more this summer than ever! But I guess life and driving gets better as our kids get older and not screaming the whole way! We have had fun!

Like....

Destin....by far my favorite! If you have never been to Destin you have to go! it is my favorite beach i have ever been to! yes I like it better than Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas.... everywhere~ The sand is like sugar! the beach is crystal clear blue green! It was amazing !
I need to get a disc from Kelsey anyway of all the amazing ones she took for us there! To Be Continued....... I have a million more but this is just a few I found on the pic files...

On the way there the boys were awesome! We drove through the night!

Gabe was so proud of our sand turtle...





I think this was on of the first days everyone was happy!






Kade found flying and Golfing! They really had so much fun!

Muscles~!!!! Isn't that water crazy!!!!





Funny Story....kade was so excited for the parrots! then Landon as you can see thought he would for his turn smack the poor parrot! the owner guy was so mad at Landon....can't blame him...but it was way funny!the guy grabbed Landons hands! It was sooooo funny!


















Kade ate a meat and cheese SANDWICH! I don't know what it is but when Kades with other kids he will eat things he has never eaten before! Its funny!
Then there was Seaworld! Hot! And I got was sick but It was soooo fun! It was 4th of July weekend. It was so busy! The kids had fun! Other than the sick part and really bad luck with rooms at the Red Roof Inn! Blahhhhh! we had a blast! Thank goodness for waterparks in the heat of the day! We didnt have many pics cause we forgot the camera the first day and the second day....well we just forgot to pull it out some:)



Landon went on his first ride! He LOVED it!



























Then Garner State Park! The only truly comfortable place to camp in the middle of July in Texas!! You might think we are crazy but it is sooooooo much fun! I had not been able to go in about three or four years so it was so nice and fun to take Kade and Landon to our favorite place to go camping! The river was quite low but that didn't stop us!















































































Then of course there has been the weekly boat days mondays or tuesdays sometimes both! Our or at least my new love is the wakesurf! Its so fun! Its nice you don't fall hard like wakeboarding(which is still fun) just don't get the aches you get when you go wakeboarding! Landon has gone 3 times and freaks out when mommy wants to go without him~ funny stuff!






























I can't believe summer is half way over!
