Destin

Last weekend we headed to my beach house in Destin, FL. with some of our good friends. Rob, Allie and I headed down Thursday night when I got off work. Friday morning I realized that I had left my flip flops at home so I had to go out and find some. Who knew it would take me so long to find some flip flops, i couldn't just get any ole flip flop...haha. I ended up finding some and then headed back to the house. Rob and I went and ate lunch at Harbor Docks and it was SO yummy. Later that afternoon our friends Kelley and Kay and their son Henry and Dustyn and Erin arrived. Our dock was torn down b/c we are getting it rebuilt since it was so old, so we set up chairs in the grass down by the water and enjoyed the evening weather. While down there, there were a few little pieces of board from the dock so Rob picked up a piece to throw in the water to see if Allie would go after it. And to our surprise, she did! Normally for her to get in the water Rob has to pick her up and take her in with him, but this time she went on her own. She jumped in the water swam to the piece of board and brought it back to the shore to Rob and then she was ready for him to throw it again. It was hilarious, I was so proud of her. I got my camera and shot a video of her fetching that piece of board, I was like a proud mama videoing her child...hah. After all that, she was worn out. Later that night we started thinking about food and it was already so late that we just ordered pizza which was really good. (I have video of Allie fetching and swimming but I can't get my videos to upload on the computer so as soon as I get those I will be posting one).

The next morning when we got up, Kelley and Kay had already headed out for the morning and brought us back some yummy doughnuts. We hung out around the house and then we got ready to go out on a pontoon boat that we had rented. Kelley, Kay, Dustyn and Erin had friends that live in Destin so we went out on the boat with them. It was such a beautiful day! We went and anchored and enjoyed floating around in the water. Henry had a great time too. We wore him out!

All the girls and Henry enjoying the water.

After having so much fun out on the water, we headed back to the house to get cleaned up and ready for dinner. Dustyn cooked dinner for all of us and it was really YUMMY! He boiled shrimp with sausage, potatoes and corn and Erin made this delicious sauce to dip our shrimp into. It was such a great meal. We all enjoyed it!

Last Sunday was Erin's birthday so her husband and her friend Jennifer surprised her with a cake. We all sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed the delicious cake.

We had such a great weekend with really good friends!!
