30A Vacation

 We went to the beach in Florida in October for vacation. We went with Jason's sister and her family b/c her daughter, Nylah was on fall break. I've seen those 30a bumper stickers and just thought it was some form of yoga until we ended up on 30a ourselves. This is the route between Destin and Panama City in Flordia.

 Here's the whole gang and the best picture of the vacation. This man with a funky hat came and asked us if he could take our picture for it and all of the kids were staring curiously at his hat.

 This was the most active beach vacation that I have ever had. Even sitting around the kids were drawing.

 The boys love to race on the beach.

 We went to Destin one night and went putt-putting. Jason and I have a similar picture in front of this elephant when we were dating.  Now we have added a few extra smiling faces.

 Chase used do be so careful and cautious.  All of a sudden he's getting braver and trying new things. He rode in the airplane that actually rose up in the air. I was a bit nervous but he had a blast.

 Getting a little crazy..

 We rented a bike trailer for the boys and went for bike rides several mornings.  They loved it, although they fought and hit each other about 50% of the time they were in it. The weather was awesome in October and it was crisp in the morning and warm in the afternoon. The water was only a foot deep for about 200 yards so it warmed up quickly each day.

 Yum Yum ice cream!

 We ate on our rooftop most nights. We had a view of the ocean and it was perfect!

 Fun in the sun!

 So, there was this giant hole in the sand near us every day. This entertained the kids more than we could ever imagine. They would run, jump, play all in and around it. We told everyone to stand on one leg for the picture.  Check Chase out...he's on one leg.

 Hip..Hip..Hooray

 We spent the afternoons at the pool. The water was freezing but we liked hanging out feet in the water.

 Look at those cuties...We told them to think of eating a big ice cream cone...

 and then we hopped in the car and got one...

We rented a paddle board for a few hours. Jason took Kaleb out and they saw sea rays. The water was so clear. We also rented a kayak and got to do some family paddling. We now love the "30a" area and love Florida in October.
