We hurried out to the beach for about 2 hours of our final fun in the sun for 2009. Pat and Susan kept the babies at the house, which was so nice!! Paxton boogie boarded and Mackey built some sand castles. Then we went home, packed up, and got on the road to go home. Ebby Lee did pretty well in the car...considering we were in there for about 13 hours!! We had a great time and are looking forward to many more Sandestin trips!
Day 5...
We went to the beach for only a short time, b/c it looked like it was going to rain (of course!). We decided to head over to Fudpucker's to check out the Gators, go ride some go-carts, and then eat a yummy meal at Harbor Docks. After dinner, Susan and Pat volunteered to babysit (thank you!) so Rusty, Whitney, Tab, and I all headed over to Baytown Wharf on the golf-cart to listen to some music and eat dessert.
Day 4...
Day 3 at the Beach...
On Day 3, Pat had set up a very important golf game for the guys. But...it was a beautiful sunny day when we woke up. So, the girls decided to take all 4 kiddos to the beach. We should have known it was going to be crazy b/c we were outnumbered. At about 3 hours into it, the babies started melting down, Whitney had gone to get another umbrella at the house (that left only 2 of us), Paxton thought he was a surfing pro and kept getting farther and farther down the beach from us, and Mackey was building her a sand castle. Susan and I were so overwhelmed that we called the guys and begged them to leave the golf course and join us at the beach. After much persuading, they came to hang out at the beach and relieve us. It was a good thing they came, b/c it was such a gorgeous day. We stayed out at the beach almost the whole day!
Day 2 at the Beach...
On Day 2, it rained almost the WHOLE day. We got up and decided to conquer the outlet malls in hopes of having fun and staying dry. We had a good time shopping and ate at a pizzeria for lunch. We saw a sliver of sunshine or just non-gray clouds so we ran out to the beach for a little one-two hour beach visit. It was still windy and pretty cold, but we put on our big-girl pants and enjoyed ourselves...even if we were wrapped in towels!
Bed Time and Rockstar PJ's...
Day 1 at the Beach...
Last year, we went with the Cox family to the Sandestin resort and stayed in a two bedroom condo. (We didn't take any kiddos.) This year we decided to take them all! Luckily, Pat and Susan decided to join us, so we rented a house for the week in the same resort area. The house was really nice. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was even stocked with tons of beach supplies that definitely came in handy. We also had two golf carts that we drove around the area. This was day one on the beach:

Saturday Night at Cantina Laredo...
Last year when we went to Sandestin, we decided to give the seafood a break and head out to Cantina Laredo for some good ol' Mexican food. I got some shrimp something that was fabulous. They didn't even have that meal at the Cantina Laredo in Frisco, so I've been dreaming of getting to eat there again. All year, I talked about going back to the Cantina Laredo in Sandestin. Well, they changed their menu and I was so disappointed!! It still turned out to be a great first night of vacation. It was raining, but we overlooked that and enjoyed some good food (notice I didn't say great) on the patio.
Night Out with Kensington...
ANOTHER photo shoot...
