Destin 2011

Ever since Bella was born, we have taken her once a year down to my parents place in Destin for a week. The first year was tough, the second year was better, although she did NOT like the sand. But this year was actually pretty fun. It helped that we flew instead of drove for sure. She is finally old enough to like to play in the water and she also really enjoyed building sand castles (or at least watching me build them) and then destroying them. Although, as soon as she is done, she wants her hands clean immediately. Yeah, she is a girly girl. Not sure where she gets it from!

I just love this picture of her for some reason.


Here's one from the front.


Back at the house, about to go eat at Fuddpucker's. We used to eat there all the time, but hadn't been in forever. They now have this whole alligator attraction where you can feed them and even hold one. Once we mentioned it she would not stop talking about it, so we felt like we had to go.


The whole time we were there, she wouldn't go anywhere without her purse. Did I mention she was girly?


The last day we took her to the Gulfarium that has been there forever, but we have never been. They have all kinds of shows with dolphins and otters and seals and stuff. She really loved it and now watches the videos I have on my phone over and over of the dolphins doing tricks.

I am hoping she will grow to love the beach as much as I do, she just needs to get over that whole sand issue. =)
