Spring Break at the beach

Over spring break we made what is now becoming our annual trip to the beach. We went to Oakaloosa Island, which is a few miles from Destin. We have found a complex of condos that is soooo neat for kids, they have multiple pools, a lazy river, kid's movie night by the pool. It is sooo fun for kids!!! This year we were joined by Mitchell & Brooke Keathley, which added to the fun. They are sooo good with the kids and the kids just love them!!! Nana also went with us and got some much needed R&R and kept the kids while we went out to dinner at night, which was great. Sorry, I didn't mean to post this many pictures, anyway it gives you a good idea of the fun we had. We can't wait to go back this summer!!!

Beantiful view outside our patio doors!!!

All smiles for Mr. Harrison



Nicholas even likes to climb palm trees

Grant frolicking in the waves With some friends he met from Illinois

The boys getting their airbrushed tattoos-1 of the highlights of the trip for them!!!

The boys with daddy in the hot tub-they spent a lot of time here, since the water in the non-heated pools and the ocean was soooooo cold!!!! Nicholas playing on the steps (this is his preferred spot in the pool-hopefully he'll be swimming by the end of the summer)

We've got a seafood eater!!! Brooke and Mitchell introduced Grant to lobster and crab legs and he loved both-I'm so glad-since Ted and I aren't seafood eaters!!

Beach pictures-we had perfect weather the whole time, I'm so ready for it to be warm here!!!

Grant found a frog and wanted his picture taken with it, but wouldn't hold it, that's Brooke holding it. While I packed, Mitchell entertained the boys by pushing them around on this cart!!

These were actually taken on the way home from the beach-from the smiles, you might think it was on the way down. Thankfully they are all so good in the car-thank goodness for the DVD player!!!!!
