Beach Day!

Sad to say, this was our first beach day of the summer.   And yes, I do realize that summer ends this week, so we are definitely sneaking it in under the wire!  So, after a little bit of drama and a detour or two (you know, the kind that only pop-up Florida rainstorms can bring), we happily settled on Mexico Beach!

Though a little hesitant at first, Graham had a blast!  He loved the sand, shells, and surf.  He had a great time chasing the "ducks" (gulls) and then stopping to examine every little, teeny, tiny grain of sand or piece of shell.  By the end of the afternoon, he was jumping in the waves and happily running (and squealing) along the shoreline.

                                  



















While I have always loved the beach, Chris has not been the biggest fan.  However, seeing the excitement and newness of everything through Graham's eyes may have changed his mind.  Tonight when Chris put Graham to bed, he told him that today was the best day he had ever had at the beach!

With family and day like this, I think he may be right!
