BEACH!

We ALL look forward to this ALL YEAR!

We went a few days before Nana and Pops arrived this year, and fit a lot in!

We have our usual spots…  and we try to find new spots, like Alligator Alley.

Iconic horses for the kids.

Annual visit with the Downs!  So much fun!

State park trail.  Charley likes to tell about what a rough day this was for Reed.  They went to go play in this ditch…

…  Reed was running along and – splat!  Face down in the mud.

Then he stood on top of a fire ant mound.  Ouch!

While hiking, they wanted to pose for me…

… then Reed was getting eaten alive by mosquitos, so we called it quits.

They found this hole, and filled it in so no sea turtles would get trapped.

On Fort Morgan, we met this nice family from LA who were running crab traps.  The kids LOVED IT!!!  They got to help!

Not sure what they thought they were going to do with all those crabs…

Once mom and dad arrived, Rod and I got a date – kayaking!  Rod rescued a catfish caught on a line.
