What a great vacation! We were blessed with safe travel, spent wonderful time with family and had a great experience on the beach! We went on a boat to a small island off the coast, toured the Air Force base and saw lots of plane take off, fly, and land, visited Gulf World, and played at the beach every day. It couldn't have been better!!
Gulf World was a lot of fun! Here is Jack exploring the underworld as a turtle.
Charlie is such a cute, happy turtle.
We really enjoyed watching the real turtles swim around.
Penguins
Sea lions.
Jack and his cousin looking at more turtles.
Mark and Charlie posing for a picture in front of a macaw. They had a lot of these birds.
Having a snack of popcorn before the dolphin show.
It was hot, so we stripped Charlie down!
It was really fun watching the dolphins jump and swim! The park had three shows and was the perfect size for little kids. We had a great time!
We saw a lot of animals on the beach. This pelican came ashore to get a fish that a fisherman left behind.
Here it is eating it. We also saw dolphins, sand crabs, sand fleas, blue crabs, a small shark (that a fisherman caught), and lots of birds. Jack enjoyed chasing the birds.
This is how populated the beach was on our visit! It was great to let the kids run around without worrying about someone snatching them up or getting into other people's things.
Jack taking a break from sand play.
Charlie perfected the bear crawl on this trip. The sea shells didn't feel pleasant on his knees or underfoot for that matter.
He found lots of things in the sand that he wanted to show us.
We tried to have a family photo taken on the beach. However, it was very bright and windy, so they aren't the best ever b/c the boys didn't want to look up at the camera or smile.
Squirmy kidos!
I was tickling them to get a smile. Jack liked it but Charlie had different feelings about it!
