Day 3 in Destin

As exciting it has been relaxing on the beach... I haven't felt really well. My head had been hurting and I just felt "low". After I was awakened by the fire alarm this morning (Dad was cooking bacon for breakfast), I laid back down in the bed because my head was pounding. I laid there trying to figure out what I've been doing that is way different from my regular routine. It hit me... my morning routine of a Diet Dr. Pepper had been broken! Since I can't stand the taste of coffee, I get a large Diet Dr. Pepper and sip on it throughout the first half of the day... ahhhh caffeine and fizz... feels so good. I immediately threw my flip-flops on and walked down to the CircleK for a big-gulp size Diet Dr. Pepper. I feel better already! Click here for a few facts about my favorite beverage.

Real Men Wear Earrings

Yesterday afternoon, WD ran across the street to get Dylan a "cooler" boogie board for surfing. While there he picked up a huge pack of "jewelry" for the boys and men. I was laying down for a nap with Dylan when WD came in sporting his loop earring. I was shocked that he would get his ear pierced, but I thought it was sexy! He woke Dylan up to give him an earring too. That's when I realized they just slipped on the earlobe! Oh well, WD's not much of a rebel, but he's still sexy to me. Check 'em all out... (Double-click the photos for close-up of the earrings.)

Day 2 in Destin

After another day of sun, salty water and sand, we are "pooped". The sun was blazing hot. Even after numerous applications of sunscreen, all of the kids have bright red faces. Their little bodies darkened... Dylan reminds me of "Mowgli" from "Jungle Book"!

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.
