Fun In The Sun!

We just returned from our first family trip to the beach and had such a great time. This was our annual Memorial Day trip to Destin, FL for our church’s single adult beach retreat. Danny has been doing this trip for the last 7 years, and me for the last 5, so, it was a real treat to have Britton with us for his first beach trip! It was on our trip last year that Britton began making his presence known. ;o)

Once again, Britton was a dream traveler. He slept the entire car trip, he loved the beach and the pool, was so well behaved in the restaurants, and he still slept through the nights. What more can you ask for?! Though he certainly has his moments, we have really been blessed with a sweet-natured baby.

Beach Pics.
Our first night down there, after dinner at Red Bar, we walked down to Grayton Beach to get Britton’s feet in the sand & water. He loved the sand … not so sure about the water.


Britton’s first time on the white sandy beaches.




Looking like a beached sea turtle!


All decked out in beach gear (and not too happy!).


Ahhh … the life. We brought Britton’s bouncer down to the beach each day and put it right under our umbrella so he could take his naps and be comfortable. He loved watching the waves come in and feeling the cool breeze.





Trying out the surf again:



Trying to figure out Dad's Ipod.


Happy boy!



Pool Pics.

On our way down to the pool.

We celebrated GrandMarna’s birthday on Sunday!
