Playing with a water gun for the first time.
The Scott's got a new kayak and they were a hit! Keith and Kenzie went on several long rides around the slu and surrounding areas. Too bad Big Mama couldn't join in on the fun!
One afternoon we packed a picnic lunch and anchored on an island for some water time. Keith and Sawyer enjoyed skipping rocks. The water was cold but there was no stopping Sawyer from getting in.
He also loved swimming on the steps with Honey. He is not afraid of the water at all which is very scary as a parent!
That Thursday, we went down to Blue Mountain Beach which is just outside of Destin. And let me just say that it will definitely spoil you. Not a lot of traffic, no high rise condos, natural sand dunes, and amazing restaurants. It is also just a 10 minute car ride to Baytown Wharf and all the other activities in Destin. We went with another family, the Choat's. Will was Keith's Fraternity Brother and I went to High School with Morgan. They have a precious little boy, Carter, who just turned 2. To top it off, Morgan is pregnant too so we have a lot in common with this family! As soon as we got there on Thursday afternoon we went to the heated pool which was like a giant bath tub. The boys had a blast!
Friday morning the guys played golf so we took the boys back to the pool for a couple of hours. When we went in for lunch, I was putting something in the oven for Sawyer to eat but he fell asleep sitting straight up on the couch and slept for 3 hours! He was wiped. That night, which was my Birthday, we went to Louis Louis for dinner. It is a restaurant that is owned by the Red Bar so we wanted to check it out. It was sooo good! Imagine having the same menu as Red Bar (I got the Chicken of course), no wait to eat, not loud, and a clean bathroom. It did help that we went to dinner at 6:00 since we had small kids. After dinner, we went to Baytown Wharf for some fun. Sawyer rode the carousel and ate the biggest Popsicle he had ever seen! It was a great way to celebrate my 29th Birthday.
Saturday morning we started out with breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Grayton Beach. It disappoint either and the boys were happily entertained with the Ipad! The rest of the day was spent on the beach. Sawyer wasn't a big fan of the sand at first and it took him a minute to warm up to it. Since I had nap duty on Friday, it was Keith's turn so I got a solid 2-3 hours of precious, uninterrupted beach time by.my.self. It was amazing! That doesn't happen too often these days so I enjoyed every minute of it. That night we ate a local place for sushi and steak. It was a great way to end such a fun trip. It was so sad to leave but only got us excited for our beach trip in May with the Scott's. We are trying to get all of our trips in now because once Sissy gets here I have a feeling we won't be going many places!
There were 4 pools at the place! It was so nice.
