Let's Go Rangers!

Papa 'D' treated us to an evening at The Ballpark in Arlington. We had a great time watching baseball, eating snacks, and making new friends! I took Merit to the Ranger's gift store and let him pick out a Texas Rangers car. He chose the Mustang. What a fantastic evening!

 

Pool Fun!

While we certainly had much fun at the beach, we also enjoyed the pool. Merit jumped off the side over and over again and thought he was quite the big kid imitating the other boys at the pool.

 

Can't Get Enough of the Beach!

Catch of the Day!

We spotted a large blue crab and grabbed our nets. He was way too fast for us! However, a nice older gentleman chased him up to the shore and grabbed him for us. We put him in the little pool and watched him snap at us with his pinchers over and over again. The kids loved watching the crab! We let him go after an hour or so. It was a fun experience!

 

Flying High!

We all had fun flying Poppy's beautiful kites in Destin this year. Merit really loved watching them soar high into the clouds.

 

Popsicles on the Patio!

These two cuties had the best time enjoying popsicles on the patio. Good thing we stripped them of their clothes before hand because they were pretty messy in the end!

 

First Day in Destin!

Just the way we remembered it...beautiful! Merit couldn't wait to get to the beach. Look at this boy! What fun he was obviously having!

 

Uncle Marc's Lucky Charms

Uncle Marc introduced Merit to this kid cereal last year in Destin and he couldn't wait to have it again! We don't buy it when we are at home so this is was a real treat for him!

 

We Made It!

It was a long drive, 16 hours to be exact. We made good time until we came to Mobile and then it was slow moving from there. This little guy is very excited about being in Destin!

 

Big Blooms!
