Sand, waves, and sun burns!

So this past June, the company that I work for, Trendsic Corporation, took us on another family vacation! I am so blessed to work for such an amazing company, who takes us out on amazing trips! We took a long weekend and had a blast!

The house that we stayed in was incredible! It was 3 stories with a pool and hot tub AND across the street from the beach! Needless to say, we were lovin' it!

The beach house from the front.

Beach house from the back. The bosses, Joel and Jelani and their families stayed on the top floor. Brandon & I were on the middle floor, which is where the kitchen and living room were. And James and Jared and their families were on the bottom floor.

Pretty much every night we went swimming. One night we had a mad game of Marco Polo going with me, Joel, Jared, James, and Jelani! Got lots of bumps and scrapes from it, but it was really really fun!

Anyway, we spent A LOT of time at the beach. The very first day, the water was kinda rough because a storm was rolling in. But we still had lots of fun out in the water and in the sand.

You can see the storm rollin' in in the bakground. Actually, quite pretty. :)

Ashlyn contemplating whether to check out those waves or not!

Jelani coming in from boogie boarding! The water was extra choppy from the storm, but he wasn't skerred! :)

One of the few times Brandon got in the water :)

We actually ended up swimming out pretty far and he put me on his shoulders so i wouldn't drown! It was REALLY fun! Poor thing was getting smashed in the face by huge waves, tho! I love you, baaaaaabe!

Look Eli, a plane! If you can't tell, that's me and Eli.

Anderson was tuckered out from all the playing in the sand!

As you can see, so were Joel and Kailey! So they snuggled up on the couch!

Brandon had to leave early from the vacation to go back to work, so we took a couple last minute photos before he headed back home.

So by the end of the trip, everyone was burnt. So we decided to hit the beach at sunset, which turned out incredible, and we got some really pretty pics!

The cute couple, Jared and Keri.

The other cute couple, Joel and Holly.

I love this pic of Eli! He is such a cute little boy!

Anyway, our trip to Destin was amazing! We really had a lot of fun and really appreciate Trendsic for taking us on this incredible trip!

Thanks again, Joel and Jelani! Y'all are AWESOME! :)
