Goodbye Summer :(
I am so thankful that we got a chance to finish our last beach vacation. This was probably one of the best beach vacations I can remember in a while. We always have a blast with our family, but this one was almost perfect-except Todd got stung by a jellyfish!! The weather was perfect(not too hot or raining), the ocean was perfect (no seaweed or rough water), the pool was perfect(not too crowded). It was just a great time. We didn't do a lot this trip other than spend time together. We stayed out by the pool and beach all day. The girls loved playing on their alligator and orca floats. As always, Morgan loved finding shells. We went out to St. Andrews State Park on Fri. We wanted to go snorkeling, but they had the purple flag out due to the numerous jellyfish in the water. So we ended up sitting on the beach and playing in the sand. We then went over near the fishing pier in the park and looked for "sea critters". We saw hundreds of hermit crabs, sea urchins, fish, a dead sea turtle, and several different types of jellyfish. The best of all was the dolphin, which swam right under the pier in the shallow. We were able to see it right up close for probably 5-10 min. We could see it so clearly. When Kylee first spotted it she let out a scream of excitement. She loved it. I can't wait until we can return again. This is just the first of our future trips to the beach in Oct. What a way to say good-bye to summer. I love my family. I am so blessed.
