Our days were lazy and unplanned. We slept in, ate breakfast overlooking the ocean, then went down to the beach. We chose our next move whenever the mood struck! We're all kinda fans of the no-schedule thing!
We woke up every morning to this view from our balcony.
And Cole was usually right here in our room, watching the waves and waiting for everyone else to wake up!

A few times we watched dolphins play from our balcony. So fun.
Destin Commons, a fun shopping area.

Beach volleyball
We all went parasailing. Now I know what it feels like to be a bird. Ahhhhh, so peaceful and amazing!
Riley and David going up
Me and Cole about 400 feet in the air
Garrett and Tyler getting dipped in the ocean
A dolphin swam right up to the boat
Beach fun
For some reason the only time I touch the volleyball is when I'm serving. It's hard to run in sand. That's what I'm going with.
Kayaking in front of our condo!
When Garrett and Tyler were out there was a dolphin swimming with them. They got about 10 feet away and were trying to keep up with it. It had its head out of the water talking! They also went over a group of stingrays.

Our goal was to choose restaurants where we could eat outside by the water. So, lots of seafood. David got everyone but me to try raw oysters.

Playoffs! We wore a lot of Thunderwear and tried to catch most of the games. Tyler got the live band at this place to yell "Go Thunder!"
More pics around the condo
In our bed watching coverage of either the Thunder or the Oklahoma tornados that were going on back home.
From our balcony. The sand looked like snow from a distance.
David, Riley and Cole on the balcony.
Go Karts!
Night time crab hunting
I think they're called "ghost crabs."

On the way home we stayed at a Marriot resort on the shore of Alabama. It had all kinds of activities and was so beautiful. Like a huge southern plantation. 
So thankful for this time away with my very favorite people making memories that we will always cherish!

Wow!! Great pictures, I just keep looking at them over and over. It may be kind of hard to get back to everyday living this week. I'm glad you had such a great trip. Nothing better than time with family.
These pictures are so great! I look forward to vacations like this with our kids as they get older... there will be so many more things we can do with them... NOT that I want them to grow any faster than they already are. Family vacations are the best! So glad you had a great time!
WHAT FUN! Love you and your beautiful family!!!
Awesome photos! I love looking at your family having fun! Now, I want to go to Okaloosa Island!
O.k., I love your blog! Great pictures and you all look like you are having such a great time! I love the colors of your background, too!
Love all the awesome pictures!!
waw nice pictures!
It's a lot of fun to do things spontaneously. Heeh, that's an all-out beach vacation on the books! It seems you did a lot of new things there, and it's great that you got an Air Congo jersey! They just fell short last year, but we can hope they reach new heights this season. :)

Swimming with the dolphins is pretty exciting! Truly, Florida has so many beautiful beaches, where you can take the whole family with you. I’m planning to take my hubby and the kids, together with their grandma, to Panama City Beach again this summer. We had such a blast last year that my kids wanted to stay and live there.
