Destin, FL 2011

Ryan’s parents took the whole family on a trip to Blue Mountain Beach, Florida at the very end of July, beginning of August.  We had a great weather and got lots of sun.  Cason enjoyed his first trip to the beach.  I fear Galveston is going to be a let down when we ever go down there.  You can’t compete with the white sandy beaches of Northwest Florida!
First encounter with the sand…

Checking out the water with Daddy, Uncle Eric and Uncle Kevin.  Cason loved the waves!

Playing with Granpoo’s hat

Ryan missed the memo on scratching his head…

Day Two at the beach

Dressing like Daddy Night 1 (and a little like Uncle Kev too!)

Eating at Acme Oyster House

Waiting our turn for the Carousel

First Carousel ride … big success!

Having fun spending quality time with the fam, even if we kept Cason up WAY past bedtime.  He was such a trooper

Especially once we found the slide and swing!

And finishing out night two with Cason’s first fireworks show. 

Day 3 at the beach, more fun in the sun.

And our crabby friend that was hanging by our chairs.

Watching the storm roll in

Dress like Daddy night 2


Dinner at Red Bar!

And wrapping up the trip with family pictures at Grayton Beach and ice cream on the way back to the condo!

Kevin taking a solo shot since Steph had to stay home to start her new job.  We missed you, Steph! 

Uncle Eric and Uncle Kevin being silly

MMM, Ice Cream!

Thanks to Granmoo and Granpoo for a great vacation!
