Rain, family, beach and did I say rain?

Well, well, well...rain, rain, rain. The girls and I are in Alabama at my Mom and Dad's house. We got here on Aug 2nd. My younger brother and his family got here the 8th. We went down to the beach at Blue Mountain, FL (near Destin) from Aug 12th to the 15th.

This is sweet Sierra Alicia, my new little niece.

I caught her with a smile.

This is the morning of the first full day (Tuesday) at the beach...rainy.

 We did a little driving around earlier Tuesday, waiting for Mom and Dad to get there. Jarin and I drove through Seaside, FL and on to Panama City Beach. We stopped at Shuck'ums oyster pub and seafood grill to get me a t-shirt. We got back in time to lead Mom and Dad to the condo.

 It wasn't too rainy for the pool...

We had a nice sunny day on Wednesday. This
is the view from our balcony.


And at the beach. 
A little seaweed-y...ha.

Shawn's wife's parents flew in to Ft. Walton on the 12th. Our parents came down on Tuesday. Ronnie's wife and some of his kids and grand kids came down for the day on Wednesday. We had a great time. Shawn's family and her parents were flying back to San Antonio on Thursday afternoon. When we left the condo Thursday we drove to Destin first to grab some t-shirts, grab some Starbucks and then head back to Mom's. I had to pick up the dogs from the boarder/groomer. Shawn and them were going to the outlet mall to kill time until their flight.

We all made it home safely...but a few of us ended up with a cold...ha.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend,
Sheila
PS. Yes, it is raining today too. :)

  1. Your relatives from San antonio should have brought some of that rain with them. I just live 45 minutes from the south side. It's sooo hot and dry we are melting and the beach looks sooo good. Glad you all had a nice get together.
