We Miss the Beach...

It was such a great week, where our only cares in the world were applying sunscreen evenly, sharing the boogie boards, and figuring out what restaurant for dinner. Our typical days were as follows...waking up around 9:00 to the sound of waves with bright sunshine, scarfing down a Krispie Kreme, heading down to the beach, lunch in the condo around 11:30 (usually PBJ, pizza, hot dogs, tacos, etc.), back to the beach or pool, showers at 4:00, and then go out to eat and explore the area. Jack and I rode a train around the Destin Commons shopping area while Pete and Gray shopped for sunglasses.
Yes, that is Gracie on a bungee jump swing kind of thing. She is jumping on trampoline that shoots you WAY up high, and then that little monkey figured out how to do back flips.

The whole crew at an AWESOME restaurant called "The Louisiana Laniappe. " Highlights here were deep fried artichoke hearts, crab and shrimp for Pete, key lime pie, and vodka tonics, of course.

Pre-dinner kiddos...Riley, Madison, Gray, and JayJay.


This week found Gray at basketball camp at Hendrix, which she really enjoyed, as well as prep for next weekend's swim meet in LR - her last chance to post additional state qualifying times for the state meet at the end of the month. We had some quality girl time since our men were gone, so we shopped for nail polish, ate dinners out, watched chick flicks, and snuggled every night.
Jack just called from NC...he had a bad day. Evidently, he got stung by a wasp, the motor on the sailboat wouldn't start, he pinched his finger in the life jacket, and Roxy (Nana and Papa's dog) ate his lunch. Our men are headed back tomorrow afternoon!
Nana and Papa Hartmann will be here in a couple hours! Happy 4th of July everyone...D
