A Little Racing....A Little Sun...

This was our next to last day at the beach, and we woke up to a little rain so we decided to use this as a time for a little racing!

 

We went down to the racetrack to do a little go kart racing...

 

Just love this picture of Molly & Magan...such sweet girls

 Our little wild child....she loved the go karts as usual...

 Kennedy wouldn't ride the go-karts, but she was all about the bumper cars...

 Carter, well he was all about both!!!!

 Once we were finished with go-karts, we grabbed some lunch and head back to go to the beach...

 

Not sure who or what she was doing, but love her pose here...

 Me, Crissy and Danielle...I had the best time with these girls and their families...

 Sweet Whitley....

 These 2 boys are SO crazy....

 They all decided to lay down in the sand and have the waves come up and wash over them...

We definitely soaked up as much time as we could of the sun and the beach...tomorrow I will show our LAST day at the beach...bittersweet!

Pause from Vacation...Molly Turns 4!!!!

Today at this exact time, this girls TURNS 4.  I can't believe that our littlest is 4, man how time flies!  She is one special little girl, and definitely gives us a run for our money!  We sure do love her to pieces, as crazy as she is, she completes our family!  We wouldn't be the same without wild, crazy, independent, smart, funny, you name it MOLLY CLAIRE FLYNT!

 

Poor child has been the one left out with the whole bike thing.  Not that we didn't want to get her one, it just wasn't top of mind, and since the girls are still using theirs (without training wheels) we just hadn't gotten her one of her own.

 

She came home from choir and we gave it to her, she was SO excited!!!  She jumped right on and started going.

I love her sweet cuddles, her craziness and just for being her!  And although, she does act too big for her own good a lot of the time, it is what makes Molly!

 

Happy 4th Birthday Molly!  We will celebrate her next weekend at her party!

Can We Get Just One Family Beach Picture?...Day 5

These 2 girls are so hilarious...and I love how their personalities really show in some of these pictures...

 Kennedy finally realized that it was FUN to jump the waves with Bailey...

 Not sure what the conversation is here with them, but hilarious watching them...right after this they went right back to jumping

 These 2 made themselves a couch, and I am pretty sure later in the afternoon Carter actually took a small nap on it.  Note to self:  big hole might cause people to fall... :)

 There are literally 50 pictures of us trying to get a family picture while on the beach in our swimwear...somewhat impossible...but I will take what we got.

 Love my sweet/crazy family, and the fact that they all love the beach...

 Loving on Magan...

 We went down to Seaside on this night with all the kids...it wasn't as exciting as we had hoped, but at least we all got out of the house!

 It was a little HOT!!!

Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates...Day 4

Don't these faces just scream...I LOVE THE BEACH!

 

Welcome to Day 4 of our trip...kids are still loving the beach and being with their friends.  There were no fights the whole time, which was amazing, and they loved the fact that it was like ONE BIG SLEEPOVER every night!

 Love these sweet college girls...Magan and Hannah, we loved having them there with us...

 Some serious burying going on today...

 We picked a few nights to go out just the adults and hang out.  On this night we decided to go to Bubba Gumps...Ryan's favorite movie!  And I am not sure, but this might be my favorite picture from the whole trip...doesn't it look just like the scene from Forrest Gump?  And to top it all off, they ask trivia questions while you are waiting on your food about scenes in the movie, and Ryan OWNED everyone in the restaurant!

 And Danielle is my adventuous friend...we have done several crazy things together (mostly in Branson), so of course why not try the Cyclone.  I mean who doesn't want to sit on the end of a metal bar and get slung forwards and backwards going really fast?  It was pretty fun, we got to see Destin, upside down, which was a first for me.  :)

 Love that Danielle wants to do these crazy things with me...who knows what our next adventure will be...

 Love these couples....we enjoyed every day that we were there together!   Couldn't ask for better friends.

More Sand, Sun, and A Little Rain...Day 3

Day 3 was a little different...we got out to the beach at what seemed to be our normal morning time.  The kids got to play and enjoy the sand and sun, until all of a sudden the wind started to pick up.  Then came the rain....luckily we had the big girls with us, and they took all the littles up to the house while the adults stayed back and secured all our stuff.

 

It ended up raining for a couple of hours, and by then we had decided to clean up for the day, and head to Baytown Wharf.  If you haven't been there, it is really fun.  BIG boats, games, shops, and food...all things kids like!

 

 The dark clouds are rolling in...

 Danielle and I enjoying some of the sun before it disappears...

 They are loving life...

 Love this silly little girl...

 Out at the Wharf...you can see some of the boats behind us...It is nearly impossible I feel to get all the kids looking at the camera...but they wanted a picture with sweet Magan...

 When I thought it was hard to get everyone to smile with just my kids, I wasn't aware of how difficult it was to get all of the kids to smile and look at camera...Molly by the way, wanted NOTHING to do with this picture...This is just one of the pictures but you should have seen the other ones..HILARIOUS!

 Here we are yet again, torturing our children to all take a picture, and here we are still missing one of my children...Carter, not sure where he was at this point...

 I just LOVE this picture...this is Whitley and she has the best EYES, and is the sweetest little girl.  And for some ODD reason she loves hanging with Mr. Chris.  :)

 The girls got to sit by each other at dinner...it was so nice to have all the kids wanting to sit by their friends so we could just chill together...

 I mean do you see our issue...on the plus side this is ALL of the kids!!!

Beautiful Destin, FL...Day 2

I know, I know....you are thinking where did the beach go, and why was it so long before you saw pics...well here you go!  Welcome to my life of being CrAzY!!!!

 

This was our first full day in Destin, and we had a great time.  ALL the kids LOVED the beach, and later on you will see how Ms. Bailey really surprised all of us!

 

Of course you have to have your sand toys...

 Me and my mini me...

 This girl was hilarious...almost everyday she was looking for shells, and would cartwheel and see Teen Beach Movie songs as she went up and down the shore line...hilarious!

 Then of course you have to get buried!!!

 What a great picture...I mean look at that tan next to that HOT Pink swimsuit...I AM VERY JEALOUS (Kennedy will be too one day :) )

 Chris loves it when I make him take pics...

 This little girl was crazy in the ocean...she would ride the waves like she had been doing it forever.  She had no floaties on and knew when she was out too far and would jump, ride, swim through the waves....so amazing!

 The start of our first of MANY sand castles...

 I know you are thinking why are their faces so red, I promise I put sunscreen on them...ALL DAY LONG!  Most importantly, it was only their faces that got this red... (check out Chris's photo bomb..dork)

 Carter was a wave rider as well...
