Life's A Beach!

On our last day of school, June 24th, if you asked me how I like year-round school, I would have said it bites.  This week, October 24th, I'm gonna say it's great!  Fall break is the absolute best part of year-round school and we took full advantage of it.

It took until October, but I finally got my beach in for the year.  It was well worth the wait.  The first day we drove about half way on the way there.  It was getting a bit chilly, but we, 

meaning everyone but me, went swimming in the outdoor pool.  #mommadoesn'tdocold

They we so excited to be on vacation, they didn't care that it was 71 degrees outside and the water felt so much colder.

Next on to the real vacay!

We made sand castles,  a mermaid, a shark, and a turtle.

Cannonball!  We worked on many variations, including the pencil, can opener, Empire State Building, all around the world, log roll, mouse eating cheese roll,  dopey guy walking into the pool,  star, and the Statue of Liberty.

We went crab hunting at night.  Zeke and I stayed out longer than the rest.  We shared many good laughs.  Here he is re-enacting the scene when he was trying to climb the sand wall to get away from the waves and he kept slipping, finally yelling in desperation, "Get me up!" as I was uncontrollably belly laughing.

We went Geocaching along the beach and found 2 caches.

Daddy watching Zeke and I swim from the condo, while Daisy is watching us from the shore.

When we went crab hunting at night we talked to another couple from Texas who were fishing.    The night before we left they caught a 3-foot black tipped reef shark.  Didn't exactly make us feel good, but we told the kids the sharks only come out at night, which was mostly true.  Probably.

 Picture time!

 Oh, Pensacola, how I love you.
