Florida: Destination Destin

For Nonnie's 95th birthday, her entire family decided to come and see her.  Momma and her two sister found an amazing house for our Destin stay.  After a difficult two days of travel (which involved us missing a plane because of our stupidity that then resulted in an overnight stay in Atlanta), we finally arrived in Destin.  Coco and family arrived later that day.  The weather was hot, but cloudy (and sometimes rainy) but we had to take advantage of the sweet pool behind the house.  

 Yes, this is our rental house.  Wow!!

 Nate, floaties, kiddies, and Daddy.

Dexter says hello to his newest cousin, Vivian!

Dexter loves being around someone younger.  Little Viv is only 2 months old.

Coco and Maya.

We decided to have the rest of the crew over to our (giant) vacation rental for a pre-95th birthday party.  It was wonderful to have all of us together.  Here's Nonnie with some of her two youngest great-grandchildren.

Dexter approves.

Nonnie loves the Olympics, so near the end of the evening we all watched with her, and after she left everyone continued being mesmerized by the gymnastics competition.

Go USA!
