Destin Beach Vacation!

Gosh, it's been so long since I have wrote on my blog!  I suppose living my crazy busy life has left me just a little behind on updating what the Reynolds family has been up to!  So, now that summer is here and we have already been on our vacation, I figure now is a great time to start!  Last December we sat down with the girls and asked them where they'd like to go for summer vacation.  We all agreed that we were "Disney'ed" out, and after the bitter cold icy winter we had we knew it had to be someplace with lots of sun.  Jase and I knew that they really had never been to a "real" beach and so we decided Destin, Florida was a great place!  This year Maddy brought her best friend Kelsey to come along.  Was a good idea in theory, but then Grace was the third wheel, and you know, that doesn't turn out so well with teenagers and a "little sister".  So, June 8th was the day we hopped on a plane and headed for beautiful white sands, and clear blue water for our great family vacation.   Here are a few pictures of our fun times we had….

This was our home for the next 5 days!

Day One at Destin!





We found a quaint little place called the Village of Baytowne Wharf!  Lots of cute little shops and great places to eat.  They also had lots of kid activities and music & movies on the lawn!






Girls having fun taking selfies, aka being silly teenagers!

 We walked out onto a pier and saw beautiful boats and took the opportunity to snap some pics of the sunset!

 Of course Grace couldn't pass up talking to the bird….


 Dropped of the older girls at the movie theater since it was raining, so Jase, Grace, and I took time to walk the beach…in the rain!  A little water never hurt anyone!  
But first, a morning cup of joe!



 Misc. nights at Destin...


 And last but not least…swimming with the dolphins at Gulf World Marina Park! 

Thanks Florida for a great Reynolds Family Vacation!
