Destin, FL

We were fortunate to be able to go to Destin, FL the first week of October. Some friends of ours were able to go, too, and we had such a wonderful time. It was Brock & Ryan's first time to go to a beach and I think we went to the best one!!! We had a blast and hope to go again in the future. This was our view from the balcony of our condo.

The boys loved to run into the ocean!

After a while, Ryan got a little tired of the waves knocking him off his feet, so he went on to hunt for seashells.

Brock, however, absolutely loved playing in the ocean.

One of my favorite pictures of Ryan...ever.

A great picture of Brock, too.

We dug a hole and the kids climbed in and we covered up their legs. They thought it was just hilarious!

Soakin' up some rays!

The beginning of our sand castle...

...the finished product! (And our friends!)

Mommy and the boys.... Who wants to stop for a picture when the whole ocean is out there?!?!?

Daddy and the boys.

We also spent our fair share of time at the pool.

The sunset the night before we left.

We went out to take some family pictures and Brock found this boogie board and decided to give everyone a ride!

Swinging in the Backyard

We've had a swing set in our backyard since we moved here, but just recently bought a double-swing and a bar to go on it. The boys have loved swinging together!
