Destin Family Vacation - Day 5

On Wednesday of our vacation I started out with a run. Here's some of my view:

 I came home and the kiddos were playing cards with Nana and Poppy:

 We wanted to do something different on Wednesday (besides the pool and beach) so we took the kids to The Track which had rides, go karts, bumper boats, etc. The kids loved it!

 Addie and I on the go karts:

 Olivia:

 El and Soph:

 Addie and I won woo hoo:

 Addie and I on the bumper boats:

 Then we came home and had chill time. I went upstairs to check on Soph who was supposed to be having chill time and she was "working" like daddy hahah.

 The kids went for a quick swim:

 Then we got them ready for family pictures on the beach. We hired a professional photographer. I cannot wait to see them.

 Addie and Soph before pictures:

 Then, Olivia, Addie, Misty, Ricky, Elliott and I went to dinner. My mom stayed at home with the kiddos so we could have a night out.

Destin Family Vacation - Day 4

On Tuesday of our vacation, we started out at the beach. Elliott had to take Soph back to the house soon after as the water and sand really hurt her eczema. Poor thing.

 Shortly after, my mom and I took Eli and Annie back to the house. We gave them a bath:

 Then we had fun in the pool:

 So Eli's hair looks funny in this picture. I swear he's not bald with pieces of hair lol. His hair is just lighter or shorter.

 That night, Macy and her friend watched the kids for us so we could go to dinner and have a date night.

 We tried to take a group selfie (Ricky, Misty, me, mom and dad - El wasn't drinking because he didn't feel well so we was getting our table) but this is what came out (sorry mom lol):

 My dad showing off his lobster lol:

Destin Family Vacation - Day 3

On Monday of our vacation, the "twins" as we call them, played together:

 Eli was all smiles:

 Eli and Annie just hanging out:

 The kids LOVED having Olivia there to play with:

 El and Eli:

 Taking a morning nap:

 We had another pool day:

 My dad made the kids special smoothies:

 And made the adults Bahama mama's which were SOO good. Misty, Mom and I swam with the kids for a bit:

 Hanging with my little man:

 I put Eli in the water for about 10 seconds. He wasn't feeling it.

 The Buckeyes played so we had to get pics of the kiddos in their matching onesies:

 So serious:

 My mom said we should try giving Eli cereal:

 He looked like he didn't like it...but he ate a little bit:

 I was kind of hoping he'd sleep through the night like Soph did but he didn't. We haven't given it to him since. I guess we'll wait until he gets older.

He was all smiles in the middle of the night:

 The kiddos hanging out with Olivia:

Elliott went back to work...

We were SOO sad that Elliott had to go back to work last Monday after being off for 7 weeks. We are soo blessed to have had this time off together as a family. Of course I had to snap a picture before he went to work:

 

 

Here's El and Soph when he went back to work after being off for 6 weeks with Soph:
