Tell me your FAVORITE Disney experience...

Ok, so we decided to plan a SURPRISE Disney trip on fall break. Our experiences there have been wonderful, but I would like to know your favorite memories there, whether it be restaurants, shows, attractions or whatever! Please let me know, because I don't want to miss out!

July 4th in Destin

Destin was as beautiful as always...I wasn't a good picture taker on this trip as I realize that I didn't get any July 4th pics, but here are the memories I captured....








boogie boarding at the pool


These ducks would show up every day at our door at lunch time. They didn't even move when I opened the door to throw them bread..spoiled maybe?




These are the tar ball people...although I didn't see any. They would move up and down the beach all day. I think there were more of them than tarballs!

At the table at the Lousianna Laginnappe..a day of swimming makes for a tired boy!



burying a friend in the sand





ketchup on cheetohs..not sure about this one!

smoked tuna dip..yum


A "train" of boogie boards all tied together



















At Graffitis...we love the hazelnut grouper!
Next trip...... DISNEY!

Carmen's Birthday

Last weekend, we went to Arrington Vineyards for my friend Carmen's birthday. We had soooo much fun and we brought quite a spread... chicken salad, meat and cheeses, pastas salad, mozzarella salad..you name it, we had it. Reagan was also old enough to watch the kiddos while we ventured inside for a few minutes. We used to see each other often, but now that we live so far apart, we don't get to visit much. However, every time we do, it's just like old times. I love friends like that! I wish I had a scanner so I could upload old pics when Jake was a baby and Reagan was four. Anyway, time flies and we still love to see each other. Happy birthday Carmen!








I told Jake to sit in Reagan's lap because I have a cute picture at home of her holding him in her lap when he was a baby! Ha!

Jake is 8!

sweet, birthday boy.....
