The Beach 2013 Part II

Papa getting ready for a little fishing in the surf.

We when to Pier Park near Panama City Beach one evening.

The girls thought we were at the fair.

 Breakfast at the Donut Hole.

 We topped off the beach vacation with a few push-up pops.

We can't wait until next year.

The Beach 2013 Part I

We had a wonderful week at the beach this year. 

The weather was perfect and the water was beautiful.

The last half hour of our drive

Our traditional first dinner: Pizza at Bruno's

Anne, Abby, and Daddy went down to the beach right after dinner while Gra'ma and I did some grocery shopping with the masses.

Day 2: I think . . .

We had a new sandcastle for each day.

Day 3

Day 4

The Dancy's let us borrow their boat again this summer.

We have so much fun braving the waves.

Snow Cones at Rosemary Beach

A trip to the beach isn't complete without a visit to the Bass Pro Shop.

 We rode our bikes to the donut truck for breakfast one morning.

You would think these people had never had a donut before because the line was always a mile long.

 We went the other direction down the beach in the afternoon to visit Seaside.

Target Open House

Every year the distribution center has an open house. 

There's food, games, and lots of cool things to see.

The girls and I always enjoying seeing where Daddy works.

This summer has been . . . .

has been unseasonably cool.

Independence Day 2013

We had quite a crowd and lots of fireworks to celebrate our nation's independence.

 The spectator stands. Usually the safest place to watch the show.

 Josh was the ringmaster.

 Gra'ma and my SWEEET niece Kelsey Kate.

Uncle Mark, Aunt Ashley, Landon, and Kelsey came down from Frisco to join in the fun.
