Our last night........

We had such a wonderful time!! Until next year........

1st visit to the BEACH!

So, this past Saturday we drove 2.5 hours to the beach at Siesta Key (Sarasota area). The beach was wonderful! The sand is so white and soft...and it doesn't get hot, that you can't walk on it. And if the sand is covered, it's actually cool to the touch. And the water...it was SO nice, a little choppy but oh so nice!

Crystina at first didn't want to touch the sand, at all! She would just cry and wanted us to hold her...but then she got over her "fear" of the sand. She was okay with her feet touching the sand but NOT her hands...then she got over that, quick. Crystina loved the water, especially the waves, she thought that was just hilarious. Ethan...well, he slept most of the day. He was under shade the WHOLE time we were there. It was hot, but it was bearable.

Enjoy the pictures of our great day at the beach!
