Florida 2012

We went to Sandestin, FL this year. Of course a tropical storm had to brew-up around the time of our trip, but we weren't affected at all except for windy conditions and high surf for a couple days. Other than that we had a blast! I loved watching Braylin experience the ocean again. And for the most part she really enjoyed it. So many memories made and we can't wait to go back.

Ready or not,  Sandestin, Florida
and Tropical Storm Debby...
HERE WE COME!

Daddy showing Bray the beach for the 1st time this trip.
And the waves were ENORMOUS. You can't tell by the picture
but when in the water they crashed several feet above your head. 

Got the digging' tools out!

Day 2- a little sketchy about the beach this time.

She'd rather be held and look from Momma's arms.

poor thing.

On this day she'd rather just snack in a nice and dry
chair, under the sun. 

Day 3: not a good start...

but we warmed up to the idea....

AND SHE WAS GONE!
(she loved chasing the birds)

"Say I'm a bird"

Goin for a dip in the ocean!

She even worked on a few sand castles!

Made some friends!

And didn't want to leave!!!

This RED flag stated the surf condition.
It was one red flag away from keeping people off of the beach.
But the big waves were sure fun to play in.

"Can't catch me!"

Daddy can!

entertainment at dinner.

The wharf.
Chasing Miss B around!

Members of the yacht club?!

Ice cream anybody?

Bossing everybody around.

And.... she's.... OFF!

NOT SCARED OF THE WATER/WAVES AT ALL!
That's Sug making sure she stayed above water.
THANKS SUG.

A little salt in the eyes didn't slow her down!

It was so cute watching her try and take the rolling-up waves.

Bray and her Sug.

camp.

waitin' on the wave...

splash!!!!!!!!!!

Sug kept Bray at the hotel one evening
so Jared and I could go on a date.

This was our view for dinner.

Quite a romantic dinner for 2.

My babe

Jared took Braylin out for a try at the waves.

The water was MUCH clearer once the storm moved further away.
She LOVED doing this with Daddy. 

LAST DAY... FAMILY PICS!

SUG, BRAY, DADDY

My favorite pic.

Sug, bray, daddy

precious face.

WAiting to be seated at Fudpuckers.
Place was fun but food was not worth the wait. 

Day 5: In airport ready to head home. 

time to unpack backpack.

This backpack full of goodies and our IPAD kept us busy. Flights were great
and our trip was a success. So many memories made.
