Sunshine and White Sand Beaches

I was lucky enough to be invited to Destin with Hoguen's family, and I had so much fun! We spent the days on the beach playing in the ocean and finding hermit crabs and sea stars. Toby, Lexy, Harley Hannah, and I made sand castles and boogie boarded until we had swallowed enough salt water to fill a swimming pool. 
Hoguen and I were able to see the beach 500 feet above the water. The water was the most beautiful color blue I have ever seen and the rush of adrenaline when your feet leave the boat is amazing. The peacefulness of the silence drowned out all of the world and it was just us floating in the clouds.

After a long day of shopping at the Polo and Banana Republic outlet malls, we all went to Sandestin for dinner and fun. All of the little kids climbed the rock wall and zip lined across the lake while Hoguen and I ate cotton candy and sno cones. We went back again to have a date at the Marlin Grill. We loved the atmosphere and food especially the filet mignon and red snapper. 




I love matching shirts!


I had a great time in Destin with some of the nicest people in the world. 

Living on Grand Lake is the most wonderful blessing.
 I can't imagine spending the summer anywhere but the lake. 



I learned how to be a true country girl this summer:
I rode horses
I went fishing on the creek...for about 5 minutes
I learned to drive a standard
I drove a tractor
I hauled hay
I picked up hay bales and stacked them in perfectly straight rows (well kinda...)







I am in love with this picture!
