Another Day in Lincoln Park!


Jumping off the dock. 
 




Posing with a few of the MANY hermit crabs they found that day! 

Dock jumpers! 


1, 2, 3 go! 

We went to the Lincoln Park Bay again on this day with Del's sister Fran, and her 4 kids. We had a picnic and the kids (and the grown ups) played in the water for hours. It was so much fun!

Canoe Trip at Rocky Bayou State Park!


Hudson do it. 
 

"The Launch."
 

Picture perfect.


We went on a canoe trip and it was so much fun. It was warm, peaceful, the sound of nature and the water lapping against the side of the canoe-so relaxing and a great get away to slow down the fast pace of everyday life! Vacation times are so great!

Sunday Funday!


Sleeping pals. At least one of them looks cozy.
 

We went to White Point Beach for a lil photo op.



Hey everybody, there is a new Bruno Mars in town! 
 

An amazing thing to spot-a bald eagle! He was actually in the nest too as you can see. :)

First Official Day in the Paradise Called Gulf of Mexico



I mean just LOOK at that water. 
 

Mom and Del
 

Hi! 

Snorkel gear tested and ready! 
 


Yeah, did I mention this was paradise? 
 

He's so adorable, especially when he is searching his net for live ocean creatures. 
 

Horray for sun and sand! 
 

Making a "sand angel."


A view from their fishing spot.
 

First time with a fishing pole!

Boys bonding. 
 

My beautiful baby.

Hudson proving his muscle. 
 


The opening to a trail we went "halfway" down because some of us were arthritic, some of us were pregnant, and some of us were whining children! lol. 
 

Gods gift to everyone. 

Tree climbin'


Our first full day in Destin was amazing, a truly great entrance to what would be a spectacular vacation. We went to Greyton Beach. The water was so clear and green and refreshing. We had a blast!

Let Freedom Ring-Red White and Blue Forth of July Fun at Lincoln Park in Niceville, Florida!


Brothers by the Bay.

Watching the surroundings. 
 

What is fourth of July without watermelon? 
 

Beautiful summer sunset. 
 

Sliding down the slide while we waited for dark. 
 

Little climber! 



A mom and her boys :)
 

Check out the American Flag at the bottom :)
 






Beautiful fireworks over the bay. 

4th of July 2014 was amazing fun. It was the perfect vision of what the "American Dream" equivalent of what you would imagine 4th of July to be. People swimming in water, kids playing on the playground, live band playing, eating watermelon, camping out in lawn chairs, watching the fireworks over the water-such amazing wonderful happy memories we now have of this wonderful night!
