...and everything else

I will jumble together the rest of our extra curricular activities from our trip.

The house had a few toy baskets that the boys enjoyed and for some reason, they wanted me to take pictures every time they set up all the soldiers.

The kids played "Musical Beds" all week. Each night they were in a different bed from the previous night. All except Mac. He slept on an inflatable mattress in the closet, which worked out great.

The kids enjoyed way too much cable TV, but Jason said it was ok because they don't watch a lot of TV (we only have PBS) at home.

While 'hanging out' at the house there was a lot of coloring (I was so relieved that I brought lots of paper and new markers with us). Capps, my big colorer, was found on the back porch many times coloring while the others kids were glued to the TV. (yes, he is standing while coloring??)

Of course, Jason took his X-box. He got to play some by himself, but was usually bombarded by the kids because they wanted to play also.

We tried to venture to the big playground in The Village one morning, instead of going to the beach, but it was so hot the kids wanted to leave shortly after we got there. This is Mac is all his hot and sweaty glory (he wore these sunglasses most of the week, even holding them in his hand during naptime).After the playground was so miserable, we took the kids over to The Fountain to cool off. It is 15 different water sprayers that shot up out of the ground at various speeds and height, constantly changing. The kids loved it and we ended up cooling off there a few different times.The Brown tradition is to eat at The Backporch in Destin, but we decided it was a bit too expensive to try this year. Jason and I love Beef O'Brady's which is in Sandestin - they make a yummy burger! (kids eat for 99 cents on Tuesdays).

For Father's Day, not only did Jason get to drive us home, but he also got a Beef O'Brady's T-shirt that was my idea, but the kids were so excited to be a part of sneaking off to get it and pick out which color they thought Daddy would like.
