Okay, so it's about time I posted about our trip to the beach!!! I'm gonna spare you the details and just mostly post pics... so HERE COMES THE PICSPAM!!!!
So, we left last Saturday. I drove to Pensacola to pick up Mom at the airport and Nathan drove the Big Dude and Ike Ike down to Fort Walton Beach, which is where Eglin AF Base is. So they stopped and played at the AF Museum for a little bit while they waited for us.



We went down to the beach as soon as we got the car unloaded, just to check it out. Unfortunately for us, there was a row of high-rise view-killers between us and the beach, but it was still close enough to walk to... The weather was perfect!!!!! Sadly, Nathan had to go back on Monday for work.




Our first morning there, we got up early with the boys... well, okay, they got us up early!... we decided to take a walk on the beach. We found a tiny little puffer fish (see the pic with it blown up on my sun glasses) and the Big Dude found some crab bits and pieces. Don't I look HAWT in Nathan's shorts!?!





These are just a few random pics. Inside the living room of the condo we stayed in... on our way to breakfast at t place that ended up being a HECK of a lot more expensive than we expected... $2.99 for a child's chocolate milk (NO REFILLS!) I'm such a cheapskate! And the first place I went mini-golfing with the boys.




Last Thursday was our OVERKILL day. We spent ALL day at the beach that day... practically sunup to sundown!!













That night Big Dude and I went "crabbing". The crabs come out at night and you can see them scurrying around down by the water. I was so happy we caught one for David to see... though he sure was a tiny guy! It was like catching a spider!


We went golfing again!! Granni stayed home while Sammy napped and I took the older two.



On our way out to Pensacola, to take Granni back to the airport, we made a few stops for fun. We found this place called Navarre Beach about 20 miles west of Fort Walton Beach. It was GORGEOUS!!! If you are ever down that way, make the drive!! Trust me!!! It was untouched and beautiful and the perfect place for shelling!!




We stopped at a playground too and the boys fed the ducks and turtles... we had a great time, and we are finally peeling from our sunburns!!


So, we had a good time, and mom was able to enjoy the beach for a while. I thought she did really well, and was able to keep up with us, and when she wasn't... she rested!
