This summer, we were blessed to have the opportunity to go on a vacation with my family to Destin, Florida. We carpooled in five vehicles. There were 26 people, which included 15 adults and 11 children. Four families, including us, stayed in a 4 bedroom house and four families stayed in two camper trailers. We had an absolute blast!!

Oh I LOVE going to the beach with a big group of people! What a fun trip and your family pics look great!
Hello Miss Amy, How was your first day back with the kido's at home? Hope it all went good. I saw you & Zack yesterday at church but never got over there to say Hi, we were on our way to the movies, it was our 24th wedding anniversary Sunday so we went to the movies. I loved all the individual pictures of each family. And the crab's in the backet, thats so neat. Looks like you had a good family trip. Best wishes...K.Barnes
Looks like a lot of fun. I wanted to make it the beach this summer and never did.
Oh wow, I love all of the beach pictures. Those are some great family pictures. I love the house you stayed in...it looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The pictures are beautiful! You all looked like you had so much fun. We take a beach trip every year with all the family and always have so much fun!
So much to comment on!! Addye has the longest legs ever! She is growing like a weed. My fav' pic is of the "studs" laying out (so funny!), and that house was to-die-for gorgeous! I would love to kidnap Mia, as usual. What a trip! : )Hope school went well for you today. I am beat, but we had a very productive day. : ) Summer is over, baby!! : (
Wow what a post! I bet it took forever to load all those pics!!! =) I love it! Looks like yall had a WONDERFUL trip!
You got one heck of a tan on that trip!!!!
PS - I love the beach family pics! I love the pic of you and Zack! Yall are soooooo CUTE!!!!!!!
FUN! Girl, i need to know your workout routine. i would rather stick a hot poker up my nose than post a picture of myself in a bikini on the web!
What fun you must have had! That is crazy that you were driving by the Strange's on the way home! Love all the beautiful pictures!

That last pictures is priceless!!! I loved all the beach pictures. As I looked at them I thought Oooo I'd put that one in a frame!!!!
What a fun trip! That house is beautiful you guys stayed in! Are you related to Grace Guist? I just noticed all of the Guists' and wondered!?!?!?
Loved the post! I can't wait for my vaca next week!
Great post and awesome pictures! I love the beach at Destin. It's been too long since we've been there. I need to plan a trip there for spring break. :)
How did you find that beach house to rent? I'd love to go that route instead of a hotel. :)
Oh and please share how did you do the shrimp boil? I've never done that and they looked awesome! :)
Suzette,
Grace is my 1st cousin. Her dad and my dad are brothers. I knew you two had connections- I've seen pics with you two together. Small world!
Jennifer,
We found the house thru searching the internet.
You can buy "shrimp boil" packages at the store and just make corn-on-the-cob, potatoes, and whatever else you want with it! Let me know if you try it. :)
It looks like you guys had a great time! Great pics!
These pictures are fabulous! (I'm also wondering how long it took you to post this! Ha!) Looks like such a fun trip with your family! And, that shrimp boil...oh my word, I wish I had been there for that!
I love your green and white color combo for your beach pictures, and the last one has to be my favorite!
It looks like you all had so much fun! You have a beautiful family!!
Love the pictures!!! You have such a cute family! :)
What an awesome vacation we had!!! I can't wait to go again. I saw Jessica's comment about Addye's legs being long, so I went back & looked at all the pics again & it DOES look like she has long legs!! Wow, I'm not sure who she would've got them from, but they are pretty long & cute!!
