Fun in the Destin Sun

We just got back home from a wonderful beach trip! Anna Grace and Liza left for Destin with Bebe and Daddy Jim on Sunday. Scott, Walker, Josh and I drove in late Tuesday night. We got in a few hours of beach time on Wednesday before the rain started. Bebe and I took the kids to see Up in 3-D and did a little shopping.
We spent a good deal of time on the beach and in the pool the rest of the week. Anna Grace and Liza didn't want to come out of the ocean on Monday; but when the red flags came out, Anna Grace would have nothing to do with the ocean and preferred the indoor pool! She also collected lots of shells to put at the base of our new fountain at home. Walker had a big time at the beach. He enjoyed throwing the football with Scott and Josh as well as riding the waves on his boogie-board. He even helped Miley and Liza build a few sand castles and rivers.
We enjoyed lots of fabulous food! Walker ate his weight in fried shrimp. Anna Grace stuck to the basic chicken tenders. (I think she might start growing feathers!) We all really enjoyed Baytown where the kids loved the bungee jumping (on trampolines!) Walker fell asleep at the table, while the girls caught part of an outdoor movie they were showing.
Saturday morning Scott and I took the kids to the Donut Hole, and then headed to the Track for a little putt-putt and go-carts. We all had a blast on the mountain Putt-Putt course. Anna Grace and I even got a hole in one! We are still not sure who won - Scott hasn't added the scores up yet (wonder why?) Everyone got soaked at the bumper boats, and then it was off to the go-carts. Anna Grace choose to sit that one out (too loud), but Walker and Liza had a great time whizzing by us. Later, we were all laughing as we rammed into each other in the bumper cars! Then it was off to the beach for our last day of sand and sun.
