30-A




**warning** this post will be terribly out of order if i ever go back and catch up on our other summer events, including the beach trip taken in june with the burns family! oops!

we spent labor day week in seaside/watercolor paradise with the burns/branch/decker clan!
as we arrived on saturday, so did tropical storm Lee... bringing with him lots and lots of wind and rain.  
our first 2 days were spent exploring the area playgrounds, shops and playing board games in the beach house.  when the sun starting shining on tuesday- we were ready to hit the beach!


a little croquet with papa



happy chappy in the sand!
chapel loved the beach... crawling everywhere in the water, waves and sand!


daily bike rides for the kiddos with uncle davey, daddy and papa


our favorite thing was loading up in the wagon and walking down to dinner each evening!


 sand castle making, 


sand shovel eating, 


 sand crazy jumping!


sweet bright


 practicing her mermaid pose


when she wasn't splashing or digging, bright did a lot of reading in the shade, so grown up!


when little decker john wasn't running and jumping, he crashed!  
i can't think of a better place to nap!


after the storms the local marine life gets a little wild as the sharks come up to the surface and start looking for food.  there were a number of shark sightings... making this mama a little nervous.  as a service to the general public bright made a sign to warn the beachgoers of the dangers in the water!


 oh beaches of south walton, we love you! clean white sand, water as blue as the carribean, bike paths and yummy food... can't wait to go back!  thank you mimi and papa for a super special family beach trip!  what a perfect way to end the summer.
