More Destin pictures

The view from our condo... We went with 3 other families and here are all the kids, Whitley was the only girl! The bird just pecked John on the head Whitley wasn't so sure about the birds so we let Daddy hold them. Out to dinner. The guys went fishing one morning and had very good luck. We brought the fish home and ate it this weekend it was great. They almost caught a shark, they had their gun out ready to shoot it when they got it in the boat and it got away at the very last second. Poor Charles fought the shark for a long time before it got away. That's the story they tell anyway!

Our last night there we had so much fun!

Destin Florida Vacation

Great Wolf Lodge

A few weekends ago we met my parents and sisters at Great Wolf Lodge. We had a blast! Whitley had fun the first day, but was not feeling well, so she got to play at Aunt Kami and Aunt LeeAnn's house in Irving the second day. Of course I didn't take my camera down the first day, thinking I would get pictures the next. So, I don't have pictures of Whitley at the water park...I know poor Whitley! Saturday night we at at Rainforest Cafe, which is always a hit. We highly recommend Great Wolf!



You can see the big slides in this picture, they are so fun and some are scary!

The big bucket that dumps out on everyone

the bucket pouring out

Kurt had more fun that John I think!

John was able to ride all slides except for 3 of the big scary slides. He rode the two big ones outside and the two big ones inside, then they had these middle size slides and some toddler slides.

John wore his goggles the entire time, both days.


The toddler slides.

Me, Kurt, John and my niece Kira.

John is 2 months older than Kira (and yes she is taller than he is) and they are the best of buds!

KK and Whitley after they spent the day together.

John and his cousin Destry. Destry is following in his sisters footsteps, he is very big for his age. He is four months old and weighs 19.8 pounds. Whitley is 2 and weighs 21 pounds! :)

John, Destry and Uncle Tim having some guy time while the girls get ready for Rainforest.



Whitley loved Rainforest!!!






John, Kurt, me, Whitley, Dad, Mom, Tim, Dana, Lana, Kira and Destry. You can see why Kira and Destry are big, their Dad is 6'7"!!

A Family Picture?!?!

Kurt took Whitley's pacifier out and she did not like that.

Before we started the day full of birthday parties for both kids we tried to take a family picture. Whitley is not fond of having her picture made at times and this was on of those times. She wouldn't let go of her blankie or paci. The day turned out great, thanks to Lana for all the help that day and thank to all of our guests. It was a fun, crazy day.

Whitley's Birthday Party

After John's birthday party at Jump for Joy we went home, had a wardrobe change for the princess and had Whitley's party at the house with family. Here she is with her princess theme cake, etc. and the new dress that says CUTIE.
We cooked hamburgers and the kids really enjoyed them since they had worked up an appetite at Jump for Joy.
Whitley's great-great Auntie Lou, Great Aunt Janelle and MeMe. I got the cakes this year from United to save money. They were not as good as Kathy's, but cute nonetheless.She did great blowing out her candles.

These are John and Whitley's gifts. The playhouse from MeMe and papaw, the outdoor toybox from Big Mc and Grana and the picnic table and umbrella from mommy and daddy. They also got TV trays from us and lawn chairs from Aunt Lana.

A phone came with the playhouse and it quickly became Whitley's phone. She is wet in this picture from playing in the fountain that is on the playhouse. (side note: the pump for the fountain lasted about 5 minutes, literally it doesn't work anymore)

Her very own stick horse and pink straw hat. When she got these she said YEE HAW. It was priceless!

And the most exciting toy she got was Elmo from Uncle Robert and Aunt Margie!
