Florida - Bonus Night at the Beach

The last two times we went to Florida, we never actually had a beach day that first afternoon.  Not so this time.  It was a gorgeous day, so we made it to the beach as quickly as possible.

My four favorite beach bums.

The waves were high, but these girls were ready!



Hello Gulf of Mexico!

While the big kids swam and boogie boarded, this little one was content to play in the sand.

Of course, we made her and her big sister into mermaids right away.

I tried to get Cameron to just chill and enjoy looking at the ocean with me.  She had other ideas, though, and quickly got away from the water!

After a long day or two of travel for all of us, it was SO great to be able to just enjoy being together.

Show these kids a beach and they will dig a hole.  I'm surprised no one fell in:)

Cami and Teagan made everyone some delicious sand cupcakes as well.   Yum!

My girl!  We met in 9th grade, cheered together the next three years and have remained close ever since.  That's 22 years of friendship!
 
We loved watching all the girls enjoy the beach so much.
Boogie boarding was a fave activity for sure.


Jackson and I even took Cami to ride some waves for a little bit.

Next year Baby Matthew will be out there enjoying the water too.
This year he was so content to sit with his mama:)



Beach life--these dads could get used to it, I think!

Carter and Lindsey had fun soaking up the last minutes of daylight...

and so did this sweet girl.

Sunset at the beach with this guy--really doesn't get much better.

Santa Rosa Beach--we love you!

We ended the night with the first stint of the 7 night sleepover.  These kids were in hog heaven.
