More Beach pics & Family Game Night.

Ashley & Jarrett watching the fireworks in Destin.

Ashley & Brooke watching the fireworks. This is one of my favorite pictures of the beach. Jarrett is riding on the luggage cart to the car.
On our last night there we got ice cream and walked the beach. This was a first for all of the kids and they enjoyed it once they saw there was nothing to be afraid of. We had to chase Jarrett to get him to the beach b/c he was scared. Brooke was worried about crabs, but luckily we didn't step on any. We had trouble keeping the kids out of the water. It was just tooooo tempting.


Awwwww sweeeettttt. Look at the sisterly love.

I love watching them walk together. It counteracts all of the sibling fights they have in my book. It proves that they do care for one another even if they fight over the seats in the van.
Game Night. Jarrett was soooo excited. I guess Jason told him about it on the way home b/c when he saw me he kept asking to play games. He kept walking around saying "It's game night. It's game night." Jarrett played Tetris & Hungry Hippo. I loved the way he giggled the whole time playing the hippo game. You can also see his tongue sticking out while he concentrates in the 3rd picture.

Last but not least Ashley during our game night. Jason, Ashley, & I played Phase 10, Dominos (double 12's-Mexican train), and Boggle. Needless to say Ashley won every game we played. She is my little gamer. She once chose a binder with games printed out from the internet at a Girl Scout christmas party. Denise who made it was worried that no one would like it. She was super excited when it was the only present taken during our game. You know the game where if someone wants it they can take it or open another present. Ashley still to this day plays with that notebook of games. I think these games have helped her in Math. I realized we should probably start inculding Brooke & Jarrett in our card games to help with their Math. Brooke had to go to her Dad's so she was unable to play games with us, but she'll get to on our girl scout game night this weekend.
