Life's a Beach

The condos we stayed in. What a great set up we had. Three bedrooms, two baths, laundry room, full kitchen and spectacular view. Who could ask for more!?!

Hunter's first look at the awesomeness of Destin, Florida's Miramar Beach!

The most beautiful clear water!

Hook'em Horns!

Our first time on the beach as a family...wish it would never end!

Loves to be in the sand....you have no idea how long it takes to get all the sand off that girl!

No Reagan didn't write this...courtesy of Daddy!

Hunter wrote his name in the sand.

They had a neat Dolphin show at the Gulfarium.

Posing in the shell at the Gulfarium. You know Hunter...has to see the animals.

The way the tide came in the night before created a little pool just right for Reagan. She played in that water with and without Hunter for 3 1/2 hours when it finally dried up. Why get in the waves when you can sun bath in your own personal pool!?!

Playing in the sand while we waited for our table at The Crab Trap.

Reagan stuck to chicken and french fries.

Big muscles after trying crab for the first time and liked it!

Late at night by the beach...can't even see my hair it is so dark out there!

Reagan...no technique, Hunter...no clue if he is right or left handed at golf!

Sko's favorite animal!

They may look little, but they are SCARY!!!

This is as close to the alligators he got!

Reagan posing with the alligator after actually petting one. She ran up to the alligator in the guys arms like she was seeing Mason. She touched his claws and everything. She will do that, but screams her head off when we want to hold her in the ocean...go figure!

Just playing in the sand.

One of the few times Hunter was out of the water.

Nap time!

The best sand castle we could make fast enough before "The Master of Disaster" aka Reagan destroyed it!

We had the most wonderful time at the beach. Hunter, though full of anxiety before we got there, LOVED the water. I told the story of the really large net out in the ocean that keeps the water life from coming onto the beach with us. His questions were...."Can the crab or lobsters snap the net with their claws?" "What about the Planet Earth movie where the dolphin chases the fish onto the beach?" My responces..."Don't worry they make the net really strong and...That was an area of the beach where people don't swim...so they don't need the net!!" Cleaver answers I know...too bad my friends and family had to help with those! Reagan never went into the ocean...however the sand was a huge hit! She didn't mind having it all over her, in fact she would purposely ask us to pour it on her.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again some day. Gotta love family trips together!
