Well it didn't really rain ALL day, only for a few hours one morning. That was fine with us, it was kind of nice having a little break and not feeling rushed to get out the door to the beach/pool. Poor Grant came down with a fever and runny nose the night before.
The kids colored, played with puzzles and watched cartoons while it rained.
Once the rain was long gone we got dressed and headed to the beach!
Eli and Chad were posing as the "bad guys" with their guns.
After lunch and naps we headed to the promenade. Last year we found an awesome kids area in the middle of the promenade. They have a playground, fountains, choo choo train and a few other things for kids to do. Eli LOVES going here! And it's always nice to have a little break from the beach and pool!
I don't remember this ride last year. Eli spotted the "helicopter" and wanted to ride it so badly. I'm not sure it was a helicopter, more like a rocket/spaceship thingy. He and Grant got to ride it alone!
I love this look Eli makes. He's trying so hard not to smile.
Then he just can't contain himself any longer and his huge smile emerges!
Eli loved it!
Next the boys went to ride the train. Our promenade used to have one of these but we never got the chance to ride it before they discontinued it. Eli thought this was great too!
After the promenade we went back to the house and cooked dinner while the kids played. I love beach pictures and asked if we could all take some while there. It didn't go as badly as I had thought it would! Eli actually cooperated somewhat. It may or may not have been because we promised ice cream if he smiled for the pictures ;)
What a wonderful way to end this great day in Destin!
I love this place!
