The beach continued...

I sorted through some more beach pictures.  Here are just a few more! :o)

 

Today was such a crazy day!  As I was running (literally!) errands today, I kept thinking how much I would have loved to be laying on the beach again!

Mariah wore goggles and looked at fish for hours!  The water was so clear  you could see things that I would rather have not been able to see!

McKenzie and Matt took off on a kayak.  They had fun.  All I thought about while they were gone was sharks!

McKenzie was our cook when we ate in.

Spending time with his big "Bubbie".

                                    Such a beautiful place!

We went out on the pier.  It was so cool to see huge fish swimming around.  We even got to see HUGE sea turtles in the ocean.   Things we didn't think about as we swam during the day!

We spent one day at the Gulfarium.  That was lots of fun!

He was amazed during one of the shows! :o)

                                           It's Flipper!

Every time we would move him he would run back towards the water.  FEARLESS!

 

I have more I will post later.  There are just so many that I want to have stored on my blog! :o)

The Beach

We spent last week down in Florida for a family vacation.  It was a much needed rest for all of us!

 

We found the perfect park on the way to stop and eat, let the kids play AND it had clean bathrooms! :o)

                                                  "Mama, please don't!"

Sweet little fellow at the top of the slide.

                                    The big "kids" played too! :o)

                            I sure love this little guy!

And........... we finally got there!  The gulf is such a beautiful beach!

Macheus loved the water when we went to the beach back in July.  This time he got even braver!  He scared me to death several times!

The water was even more gorgeous in person!

I was so glad when we got there to see the place we were staying.  We had a really hard time trying to nail down our reservation.  The criteria I told Marc was that we had to be on the beach, have a pool, two bathrooms and a washer and dryer IN our condo.

He always does such a good job searching things out.  Our condo was really big, had two bathrooms, a huge well stocked kitchen AND a laundry room! :o)  These are important things when you are a big family!

We had a beautiful balcony overlooking the water.  It was a very nice week!

My kids patiently letting me take the "line up" picture again. (I think Myles was wanting to do a jumping picture!)

We took turns hanging onto Macheus.  He would literally dive into the water and would float with his face under until we grabbed him!

We got to see some neat things while we were there.  I'll post more pictures later!

Keepin' our cool

It all started with me watering my ferns.

 

Why is it so much fun to chase someone with a hose? :o)

                                                      Mouth full of water.

Trying to figure out how to do it too.

                                          I love his chunky little legs!

I looked up and saw Mariah peaking out her bedroom window. :o)
