As much as we are watching our children to see what they do with thier lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

Sunshine State

Since we were heading to Florida for my sisters wedding, PopPop & Grandmom came along for a mini vacation.  It was a treat to be able to spend time together and enjoy the beach in November!  The beach in Destin, Florida is BEAUTIFUL!  The sand is  as white as snow and the warm water was crystal clear.  It was by far the most stunning beach that I have been too! 

 On the day  that we headed to the beach it was a little chilly for swimming or so I thought!   Thus, we did not sport our bathing suits.  Little did I know the water would be so warm and welcoming.  During a walk on the shore both girls said "Oops, I slipped" (into the water)!   The girls were warm as long as they stayed in the water.  Isabella and Sophia both enjoyed swimming in the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. 

 The day that we headed to the beach was a very special day indeed.  It was sweet Sophia's 4th birthday!  The birthday girl had a fun and busy day!  Sophia's day started with a cupcake, playing at the beach, a restful nap, an awesome trip to Build a Bear and a fun train ride.  Sounds like a super fun 4th birthday to me!

On our last morning in Florida we enjoyed a lovely walk from our place. It was relaxing to sit on the dock and enjoy the breeze, birds and kids snuggles.
