Day at the Beach

We spent the whole day at the beach today. The algae was almost all gone, it was windy and there was some great waves.

A couple of days ago we found a great kite shop. Nathan picked out this tie-dyed fringe kite. It's easy to fly and looks cool. When he got tired of holding the kite, we would clip it to the umbrella and it would fly itself.

Fetching a pail of water to make sand castles.

We enjoyed making sand castles and just playing in the sand. Nathan likes to write letters and numbers in the sand and then erase them. He also makes roads for his car, aka shoe, to drive on.

Taking a break in his beach chair.

This was my view for most of the day. But, I had finished my book early in the day and sitting in the beach chair is a bit boring. So, I spent the rest of the day playing in the sand and surf with Nathan, while Daddy took a much needed break.

Nathan loves to go out in the water and get smacked by the waves. He just giggles and laughs when the water splashes in his face. The rougher the better for him.

For our last night in Destin, we ate dinner at Fudpucker's. Nathan was so exhausted from our day at the beach that he fell asleep and almost missed dinner. This place has an alligator farm and playground. You can write on any surface in the restaurant, so that's why the horse is covered in graffiti.

We had a great vacation in Destin. As we were pulling out of the parking lot to head home, Nathan asked when were we coming back. That just proves how much fun he had. We all can't wait to get back to beach!!
