I love the beach. When I think of beach trips, I think of fun family times. I also think of calm and peace. Pictures like this help take me back to the feelings I have when I am really enjoying my time by the ocean. Soaking in the sun, watching the kids, and hearing the waves roll in.
Carter loved spending time at the pool. He was a little afraid of the ocean, the pool was a lot of fun for him. He would ask if someone would take him to the "nother pool" I guess the first pool was the gulf! Here he is with Nana and Gracyn- at the 'nother pool.
Matt and Gracyn before we went out for our first night of seafood.
Debbie, Carter, and Janet going to see what the boats brought in for the day.
One charter of mostly girls/women had some nice fish. We saw them unload the fish by throwing them on the deck and then hang them up before cleaning them. All of us were a bit disgusted when some of the nails poked through the eyes of the fish!
Matt and Carter checking out other boats in the harbor. Not only was it pretty- we got to miss seeing the fish being cleaned!
Another rare photo of me- Carter was really not wanting to have a picture taken so this was the best we were able to do!
Enjoying the waves!
Family photo! Wow- Carter was cooperative and Gracyn was almost looking at the camera!
Matt and me before our night out to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was actually on May 15th but we didn't really have the opportunity to go out alone to celebrate until our vacation. We had an amazing meal and sat on the sound while the sun was setting. It was worth the wait!
I just can't believe how big Carter looks here. He is turning into a big boy right before our eyes!
My sweet girl- she was a trooper. Loved the pool and took a few naps in her "cabana" at the beach.
