The South

I haven't blogged in the past few weeks because we have been partying it up in the South.  Aaron's brother Nathan got home from his mission last month, so we flew out to Georgia to hang out.  The first week, we drove down to the gulf coast, to Destin Florida.  It was awesome.  I have never been to a beach with softer sand, bluer water, or more perfect for kids.  You could walk out in the ocean forever before it gets too deep, and the 4 year olds could handle the slight waves like pros.  Perfection!

Driving through Alabama....aka the middle of no where

 The beach.  I miss you already

  Reid loved the beach.  The water was so warm, so it was nice to take him out and chill in the ocean.

 Reid also enjoyed eating plum after plum....delish

 I don't think Dahl has ever spend more time in the ocean.  He would put his snorkel on and search for sand crabs.  We found a lot.

 This was at the pool at the house we stayed at.  It is just a few blocks from the beach.  A golf cart would pick us up and drive us over the the beach if we didn't want to walk.

 G-Lo and the boys

   Ty, swimming like the Salmon he is

  Brothers {minus Mike, wish he was there}

This picture cracks me up.  These were Ty's feet after spending ALL day in the water.  Super wrinkled, and dyed from is Rainbow sandals.  If any of you know Rainbow, you know that if you get them wet, they can dye your feet a funny orange color.  It is pretty hard to get off.  We called him monkey feet the rest of the day.  

 We also went on a Dolphin cruise.  All the kids got turns driving the boat.

 Ryan, Ty and Dahl

 I love this picture.  Pure joy!

 Reid and I.  I love this kid

 Dolphins

 Dahl's way of cooling off.  Love it

I have a ton more pictures from our trip.  I will post more in another post, otherwise this one would be WAY too long.
