Fun, Sun, Sand, and Surf-A Whole New Turf!

In the beginning...
...Daddy drove for 13 out of 16 hours.
We arrived in Florida at 5:30 in the morning, slept until twelve thirty p.m., and walked around like zombies all day. But it was worth it. Here are the smiles to prove it.
No, they aren't related at all!
Our first adventure of the week
The Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida
All cousin's minus Sophia, the baby
And of course the kids with Dad.
What a neat place!!!

The Blue Angels
Ah, there is Sophia.
Ian and Zach having the time of their lives!!
Daddy's Girl!
Sarah is such a cute little rugrat isn't she?
It was a great day!


You'll never guess our next adventure!
Oh, did the white sand and waves give it away?
And it was an adventure playing in the surf and getting thrown by the waves!
Mikayla was not strong enough to go past her ankles so she played in the sand most of the time.
But the boys were having the time of their life!



Can you tell?
Still in the sand!
And still in the water.
Zach's waiting for the next big one.
Isaac caught it and wiped out.




Drying off with some bubbles.
Mikayla...
...and Zach get in on the act...
...while Austin chases and pops as many as he can.
Another wonderful day!!





Today was our lazy day.
We found a pier to picnic on and snap some pictures while we're at it.
The Coast Gaurd ship nearby
The view from the pier was pretty
Half way through our big adventure and there's more to come. Stay tuned for upcoming events. The kids want to move here-or at least some do. Do they realize how boring Florida would be if we did move here? I am beginning to miss Wisconsin, only slightly. I am sure we'll be good and ready for home when the time comes. Maybe we can bring some Florida home in a bottle!
