Our Florida Trip Begins

Our trip began Sunday afternoon around 5:00. We left Texarkana and headed toward our favorite vacation spot, Destin, Florida.
Our trip was cut up between two days. We ended up spending the night in Baton rouge, Louisiana hoping to get some extra sleep.
Well, extra sleep was just in our dreams. Eden ended up sleeping in our King size bed with us, which means she tossed and turned all night.

So with our lack of sleep, we got up and headed toward Florida eager to get there.

What seemed like forever later we had made it to Florida, a place I had been longing for since I found out we were going.

Let me share with you our first two days.

Eden went stright to do-dah when we arrived
Eden's frist time at the beach
She was a little unsure about putting her feet in the sand but was all about the water.


A little sand crab the cousins found
The Sand Man (created by one of the cousins)
The grandparents and the grandkids
After a long day of fun Eden went to sleep listening to the ocean
Day Two
More fun in the sand.
It rained for the first part of the day but finally quit around lunch time.

We ended the night with a family cookout and some fun games.
What an exhausting but fun day.
More to come later.
