The main reason we went to Destin was to visit my dad, grandma and aunt but we also went so my dad could take Mike out deep sea fishing on opening day of red snapper season. On this day the guys left before six in the morning and our day started soon after that. The girls did a little shopping at the outlet mall before heading to the pool.

Carter was such a trooper hanging out in his stroller. He even took a nap in it while we swam.

We played around in the baby pool before heading over to the bigger pool to do some serious swimming and jumping off the side!

The guys were coming in from their 12 hour trip at 6:00 so we headed over to the dock to meet them and see what they caught. Although we live less than 2 hours from the gulf, this was the first time Mike had the opportunity to go deep sea fishing and to say he loved it would be an understatement. His only concern was seasickness but because the weather was so beautiful the waves weren't too big and he did great. He did say while he was standing on the dock, he still felt like he was swaying out in the water. This was a very memorable day for him.
A few of my dad's friends came down from St. Louis to go with them.
The catch
Mike caught the first and biggest fish of the day. I guess those fish put up a fight about being caught so he was a little bruised and banged up. That's my man!
We are so proud of our Daddy!
Watching them clean the fish....yucky!
It was so neat to watch this bird less than 4 feet away from us eating the bait that the guys had left over.
