Destin -ation Fabulous

We had our annual trip to Destin, Fl a couple of weeks ago. We met my brother and his family for a week of sun, sand and fun. We had a great time as the pictures will show:

One of our favorite things to do is to rent wave runners and see the dolphins out in the ocean -- not everybody saw the dolphins this year but we all had a blast!! Here is my whole crew:


Some of us that waited on the beach (while the others were having a turn on the wave runners), waved the ice cream boat down and had some ice cream:


We also enjoyed:
Catching the fish in our nets or trying to catch them:


Looking for sea shells with our cousin Kate:


Relaxin in our beach chairs:


Playing games with our cousins:


Watching movies with our cousins:


We also had our traditional photo shoot on the beach: These are all of the Harkness grand kids: TJ (14), Lindsey (11), Jake (10), Zane (8), Ashley (8), Will (5), Blake (4), Kate (4), and Sam (2)


One photo of me and my love -- we have some family shots but those we are going to save for Christmas card time in the fall:


And the final one, after all of the pictures were taken the cousins had a great time playing in the water.


We had a great time in Destin. We absolutely love it there. It was hard to come home but we are back and busy with football camp and art camp. We leave in a few short weeks for our trip to Southern California. That will be a great week of beaches, Disneyland, visiting Grandma Beulah and Jon's high school reunion.
