May 12-19 - Our first time away from grandma in ages (like since December 2009). We got a week at the beach in Florida, where we stayed at the Edgewater Beach Condominium, near Destin. Here's looking out of our room on the fifth floor.
Our friends from ABBA joined us for a few days. If you couldn't tell, this is Matt!
We were able to catch a Rener Gracie workshop. It was awesome!!! We learned some tricky isolation things from the side mount.
Our crew from ABBA with Rener.
Everybody who attended the workshop.
Back on the beach...
Shellie got surprised with a birthday gift from Matt & Luna.
And then some volleyball.
Deron serving the ball.
Since Steve's elbow was still hurting from a belly down arm-bar several weeks ago he was glad to be the ref.
Jasen advising Steve on a call.
Back in our room for the continuing Duck Tales marathon. We picked up three sets that had around 100 episodes! Flash from our boys past!!!
Yep, back on the beach. Jasen giving Shellie a huge hug - something he is really good at!!!
