Vacation Continued!

We have been swimming, eating, tanning and shopping the last few days!  The babies are continuing to love their first trip to the beach - Which makes me one happy momma!!

Here are a few pics of the trip so far - 

Yesterday we had a pretty lazy morning/afternoon - We decided to keep the babies inside for the majority of the afternoon.  Stephens cousin Ben & Jessie came over from their vacation in Gulf Shores to visit with us and go for a swim with the babies!!

After supper we headed out to Destin Commons yet another shopping mall ;)  Stephen wanted to hit up Bass Pro Shop - 

Another good night for J & L as they were in bed around 10 and woke around 7:30am!

On the way down to Destin I got a text message from Nicolette Kordys telling me about a amazing Beach Themed Art Project - She found it on Tori Spellings Twitter acct. 

Check it out  http://www.torispelling.com/cat/craft

It was a perfect way to capture J & L's first footprints in the sand!!  We didn't do it directly at the beach because I didn't want to wait an hour for the prints to dry - We brought sand in buckets up to the condo and did the little project out on the balcony.  

We wet sand a little bit - smooched their little pigglets in the sand and filled it with the cement from an "at home stepping stone kit" 

I wanted to be like Tori and have the option to hang the foot/hand prints on the wall above their cribs so we took stirng ....Well I didn't have actual string but I did have 2 shirts that had those annoying strings in them for hanger purposes...Who really uses them anyway SO I cut them out and set them in the heel of the footprint!  

Here are a few pictures of the process.  We started with feet and will do hands later on this evening!..... Tell me what you think!

 And it begins - Layla hates stuff in between his toes it was sooo funny!

Waiting for them to dry!

Well I'm headed out to the pool! Will post more later!!
