Happy Birthday to Milla and Faith!!!
Their birthday gift was to
SEE the OCEAN and Put their
TOES IN THE SAND!
We made it!!! This was in the first few minutes
that we were there!!
YAY!! So happy to be there!!
Faith's very first glimpse of the ocean...
a little baby by a big ocean is breathtaking
Milla was a master sand castle builder
the whole time!!
Faith loved the sand...mostly
the taste of it!!!
Our Family
Ft. Walton Beach, Florida
Boogie Boarder
one morning we went to the Bay--
It was awesome-- I had never done that-- it
is on the stretch of government land between
Destin and Ft. Walton. It is a sandy beach--
but, it doesn't have waves-- it has about 25 ft
of 2-3 feet water that leads out into the ocean--
so, it is great for the little ones to play and not get
knocked down.
The bay also has tons of wildlife--- these are
ALL hermit crabs that a little boy caught and
gave to Milla-- we got to watch as each one
found its way back to the ocean. Brandon also
caught a huge crab. Fish were jumping every
where. In contrast to the busy beaches on the
pan handle--we basically had this bay beach
to ourselves! Good find thanks to Brandon!
Family Feet!
Faith in the sand
Milla in the sand
She is learning how to spell her name-- she
has the M down pat and will point it out
on every sign she sees!
sweet sisters
we had to try for the classic "white on the beach"
shot--we took tons of pictures and couldn't
get both of them to look at the same time on
a single one!! Still sweet pictures!
Happy Girl!
Sweet Thing!
Auburn ended up being the perfect
pit stop on the way down and the way back!
Milla was excited to be at "Daddy's School"!
Here we are eating at Toomer's Corner Drug Store.
It was such a great trip!
Waiting to go to the beach in late August is the
key to saving money-- prices really drop. We really
liked the condo we stayed in. It is called the "Nautilus"
and it was unit #2507.
