Sunny Mexico!

Bobby and I decided to celebrate our 15th anniversary on the beaches of the Mayan Riviera so we took a few days to chill and also took a friend couple with us! We did a super poor job of documenting the trip with photos but we did sneak a few. 

Samantha and I are always taking time to show feats of athleticism while on the beach. They might as well be documented for future reference:) I must say that   we do possess some serious ninja like jumping skills! 

It was a super fun getaway. The weather wasn't perfect but lying on the beach reading and spending time with Bobby and friends was. I'm so thankful for 15 years with Bobby and I look forward to many more travels with him in the future! 

Beach Pics:)

 Days on the beach are the best. I love looking back at our beach vacay pictures and seeing how the kids have grown. I was pretty bad at documenting this beach trip because our beach time was so sporadic with the baseball but here are a few to document the occasion!

Destin Game Days

We spent lots of hot days at the baseball parks in and around Destin. Elaina was content as long as there was a concession stand and as long as I kept saying "yes". I did give in to an early morning sno cone run so I could watch the game in peace:)

Cade played a solid third base throughout 9 games and the Mavs came through with 9 straight wins! 

The team got a huge trophy!

And, the boys all got super bowl sized rings. Look at that tough face:) 

It was the perfect ending to a great season. I honestly had no idea how being on this team would turn out but it has been a fantastic learning and growing experience for Cade in his baseball career. We were blessed to get to hang with a great group of boys and parents and that made the season so much easier to adjust to our new team. I wouldn't trade the season for anything and I'm pretty sure Cade would agree! 

Beach Baseball

This year's family vacation was a lot different than our usual. We ended up in Destin with Cade's baseball team, MAD Mavericks, for a World Series tournament. Luckily game times worked out for us to actually spend some time at the beach having fun with teammates! 

Sister here had the best time ever.....mix baseball and the beach and she's a happy camper! 

I didn't get as much down time as normal but I did get to soak in a little sunshine and watch my castle builder. Can't beat that! 

 We rented a condo this go around and lucked out that there were several team members staying at the same place. The kids were having so much fun hanging on the beach. This really IS a great group of kids (and parents, too!). 

Some beach time.....now game time! 

Beachy Kind of Days

Our main pass time is just frolicking on the beach. My kids could spend the entire day there with only a short break for a sandwich. Elaina loved it this year, too! 

Lucky for her she had her grandma there to tend to her beck and call. I really try to take a vacation on vacation and not be her 24/7 personal slave. That's pretty much what she thinks I am most of the time! 

 The beach trip is not complete without a beach time selfie. 

 The boys and their grandpa did some heavy fish/other ocean wildlife hunting with nets. 

They finished with a bucket full of crabs and miscellaneous other things. 

Elaina wouldn't venture too far without a hand to hold in the water. 

Cade and Grant spent most of their days building a sandcastle...

\

while the rest of us were in several mean games of corn hole. 

I'll tell you who a serious corn hole player is: Rhett Morgan. Kid does NOT like to lose and he's not afraid to lay it all out. He got pretty good by the end of our vacation! 

Sandcastle building continues...

Until voila...something they are proud of. 

Some people were just sunning. 

Grant rolled in the surf a bit...

and Rhett looked precious sporting his beach hair. I put this on facebook and said that one day girls would be swooning over this hair one day in the far future...the far, far FAR future. 

 Daddy and his boys..

And, hey! There's me. I DO come to the beach! 

One try at a plank stack of Morgan boys:

And not far away is "Whatchu talkin' bout?"

 This is our boardwalk to the beach. It's so nice to be close by and not have to cross the street to get to the beach. 

This day the kids found a little area that was collecting water from a stream flowing from the ocean. 

It made a great place for cooling off and relaxing!

And at the end of the day, I looked up and saw a studly man and a beautiful sky. What more could a girl ask for??

I heart vacation:)
