Beach trip with cousins

We spent July 4 weekend in Destin with all the cousins on Jeffrey’s family’s side. There were 12 of us from Dallas, Austin, Houston, Birmingham and NYC. We ranged in age from 23-34 (I think.) There were 5 “in law” cousins and 7 originals.

If you haven’t been reading my blog for too long, we go to Destin often. This trip was just the cousins, no parents! We’ll be back in three weeks with friends again!

Side note–this was my first maxi dress! I thought short people couldn’t wear them, but then I found a good one! Different look for me.

You just can’t get tired of that view.

I also rocked the horizontal stripes in a new Polo cover up from the outlet mall.

And a hot orange strapless one-piece with optional neck strap. I realized it’s better to cover up and feel great then try to wear a two piece just because you think you’re supposed to.

I also spent most of my time in the shade. No sense burning my precious skin. I get very red splotchy.

In the late afternoon, we had some active fun on the beach. There was jumping–that’s me and my sis-in-law.

There was paddle ball.

All the girl cousins on the last beach day.

And all the cousins with the grandparents, they came to visit for an hour on the last night.
