Summer Vacation

We are finally back from our summer vacation. We went to Ft. Walton Beach/Destin for a week and we had a wonderful time.

Olivia loved swimming in the pool and she was very proud of her green goggles.



We went to the zoo and fed lots of goats and pigs. We got lucky on the admission. For Father's day all dads got in free.



Lauren and her famous "hip bone pose".



The beach was great although Olivia hated the it. She didn't like the sand or the water. We were only able to get her to walk on the beach a couple of times. Lauren on the other hand loved it. She could have stayed out in the water all day. We both enjoyed looking for shells.







We took the kids to the Gulfarium. The dolphin show was a big hit. Here the dolphin takes a fish out of the trainer's mouth.



Thursday night we saw fireworks on the harbor. Lauren was waiting very patiently for them to start.



The night before we left we took the girls to Fudpuckers for dinner. They have Gator Beach in the front of the restaurant. Along with the live alligators they had a fake one that Lauren sat on and stuck her head in its mouth.





One day we went to the Build a Bear store and Lauren got her first Build a bear. she named her Alvin and picked out her clothes. They did a cute ceremony with the bear's heart and Lauren got to put the heart into her bear. She even got a birth certificate. The bear had cute ribbons by the ears, but Lauren took them out. She said they made Alvin's ears itch. Of course Lauren hates to wear things in her hair also.



Also on the trip I celebrated my 30th birthday. Yea!! The trip to the beach was great, but we were glad to come home. We ate at some great restaurants and had loads of fun with the girls at the kids museum, The Track (a family fun center), the beach and lots of other places.
