Destin Trip Day 6 - Boat Ride, Family Pics And A Date Night!

Thursday morning we decided to switch it up a bit and my dad rented a boat for us take out.  It was a nice change of pace from the beach.  The kids were a bit tired from being up late the night before, but loved it when we anchored the boat in an area called Crab Island and it was shallow enough for all the kids (with Evan being the exception) to stand.  Em might have loved it the most.  For some reason this salt water didn't seem to bother her skin.  Haha.  We stayed out on the boat for just a few hours before heading back to the house.

As usual the kids went down for naps/rest time while most of us adults went down to the beach.  When the kids got up, they came down for just a little while too before we all headed back up to get cleaned up.  We had wanted to take some family pictures while we were there and we decided this was a good day to do it.  Of course it ended up being super windy and sunny, but we made the best of it.

After pics, my parents were nice enough to let me, Shawn, Kevin and Julie go out to dinner by ourselves while they watched all the kids.  I had wanted to see Seaside, so we decided we should find a restaurant there for dinner.  We ended up at Bud & Alley's.  It was probably the best dinner we had while we were on our trip.  Maybe it was because we had peace and quiet from all the kids.  Ha.  After dinner we headed back to the house, since we were all pretty tired!

Only 1 more full day left at the beach!
