A flock of seagulls. I know. But somebody had to say it.
Elijah and Shelby on a beautiful laid back Tuesday at the beach
Neil and Kelly read while Shelby burned
Kelly stirred up the gulls for a photo op then had to duck when they came flying in her direction
Beachy smiles

Wednesday morning, Neil, Kelly, Kerry, and Knox arrived early to ride the go-carts. Shelby wanted a sleep-in morning. I guess I did, too. So we did.

They had a great time at the arcade ~ Elijah came close to winning this game

Another beautiful day at the beach
HarborWalk Village in Destin is always a fun place to meander about ~ especially if there's fudge involved ~ this is the before when the fudge is hot and liquid ~ they gave us a sample of this ~ yum!
Here's the finished product ~ we did buy some (not this kind, though)
It's fudge time!
Life is good, y'all

Thursday morning, the guys went back to the arcade where Knox (with Kerry's help) hit the jackpot on this spin the wheel game (kind of like on the Price Is Right?) ~ the wheel landed on 100 on two spins in a row which gave him 5000 arcade tickets ~ another spin and it landed on 1000 which gave him a thousand more tickets ~ and on a side note, Knox lost a tooth the other night as you can see in this picture
Took about 20 minutes or so for the machine to spit out all those tickets ....
.... which he traded in for all this cool stuff
Meanwhile ~ that head sticking up out of the Gulf is me ~ picture courtesy of Kelly ~ one of those days where the water is calm
Lunch bunch selfie
Reading and snoring time
My little Canon Power Shot has some cool settings such as 'fish eye' ~ makes me sea sick just looking at this picture
Beach Buddies ~ our constant companions
Kelly's panoramic capture
Kelly's 'mannequin' shot outside Starbucks Thursday night ~ frozen people drinking frozen drinks ~ except Elijah who had hot chocolate .....
.... and Knox and Kerry who had ice cream
We checked out the Southern Living (magazine I guess) store here in Destin Commons ~Shelby tried out the perfect reading (and/or sleeping) spot ~ we all wanted this swing ~ I wanted one of everything in this store but didn't have a gazillion dollars to buy it ~ however, if I had a beach house/condo here, this is where I'd buy all the decorations ~ not gonna happen ~ but I can dream
It's been a great week!! Don't want it to end :(
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed looking at your beach pictures while getting ready for school. (Blah!) Beautiful beach days! Congratulations to Knox for his big win! Wondered if he shared any of his bounty with Elijah. 😂Whenever I see a pic of seagulls, I think of Sarah calling them "sherberts" when she was little. ❤️ Enjoy the rest of your vacation and safe travels coming home! 💗😘
