Summer and San Destin 2011

I was working the weekend of the Koon's Care run this year. Joe did the 5K and Cate and Ava did the fun run (well, Ava did some of it).



We never get a picture of the four girls looking at the camera, so just thought I'd throw this one in. Cate and Ava loved getting to see Ta-Ta at Alyson's wedding.
We tagged along for Joe's conference in San Destin this year. The girls liked the sand and got the ocean a little to jump waves, but the pools were by far their favorite. Nana came with us and we all had fun swimming, shopping, and sleeping in. We tried for the classic family beach picture, but it was just not meant to be- not one decent shot of the whole family dressed up. Oh well, maybe next year.

Making "Monkey Lips" as Ava calls them, at the beach.


Building a sandcastle with Daddy.
The car trip was not bad at all this year. So excited to go in our mini-van.

A swing and a chocolate covered Krispy Treat WITH sprinkles. It couldn't get much better for Ava.







We went bike riding one afternoon. Cate rode with Joe and Ava with me. Ava absolutely loved it and we practically tied Cate to her seat to keep her from jumping off. She was not a happy camper for the first few miles. By the time we took the bikes back, she wanted to ride "for 2 more hours".
Waiting on shrimp and Cate's favorite- chicken strips.

One of their favorite places on any trip- the elevator.
