Destin 2007


We made it to Destin! This is a tradition started by my in-laws. They generously rent a condo/house for the entire family which includes Mom and Dad Boudreaux (of course), the 8 grandchildren (Erin, Dylan, Caden, Blaise, Titus, Victoris, Hayden and Zann), WD's 2 sisters and their spouses (Brooklyn, Zach, Brandi and Brett), WD's 2 brothers (Blane, Jamie, Blake and Sherry). It's a huge group, having huge fun! We just got here around 3PM, but we've already made a few memories. The first began with an "encounter" at McDonald's. A woman and man entered the restaurant from a side door and proceeded to the counter to order when everyone else in the place, including our huge clan, was waiting in a line that extended out of the restaurant. Blane assertively (and a bit loudly) announces that the people are rude. They ignored us, so Dad tapped the lady on the shoulder and explained we were all there first. She ignored us, then Brooklyn looked her in the eye and flat out said she was rude. WD even confronted the woman. The woman continued to stand at the counter and order despite being so obviously being called out about her rudeness. The only response we got from her was, "Leave me alone!" It was rather comical, but in the end the woman and her pansy-of-a-husband got their food first. It was worth the drama to get our food later... it made for an interesting lunch. Once at the beach-house, the kids rushed the beach. Erin rode a tube in the waves and Dylan tried to wake-board.

Hey girl - glad y'all made it to Florida OK. I can't believe that rude woman at McDonalds. I can't help but think what Darra would have told her. The beach looks awesome and crystal clear - great pics of the kids in the water. Enjoy yourselves and we have it covered here on this end.
