We made it back to the beach on Thursday. The water was much calmer, so the kids had a fun time snorkeling, and they started to collect hermit crabs.
Nathan enjoyed watching the big boys dig in the sand and soon got into the action. His insides are well-exfoliated this week due to the high amounts of sand he ate... check out the sand all over his face in the picture below. He was not only enjoying sand, but some pop tarts, cheese crackers, and fruit snacks in this picture!
All the kids got into burying each other, as illustrated below. Christian dug a deep hole that you could crouch into, and that's what everyone used!
Noah and Taylor enjoyed the sea breezes and shade with their mommies while Nathan spontaneously loved on Aunt Mimi! Misty watched the kids for us so Nate and I could enjoy a little date together. We were kinda boring, just drove around, ate some lunch at the Tropcial Smoothie Cafe (a Destin favorite of mine), walked around a little, and then came home and napped. Misty said Nathan fell asleep on the beach, didn't wake up during the walk home or the diaper change, and continued to sleep for over three hours. We wore that boy out!
We ate dinner at The Fisherman's Wharf, a traditional place we eat. They have the yummiest salad bar, and I enjoyed some blackened Mahi Mahi. Afterwards, we walked down on the wharf and fed the fish. There were a few charter boats that had just gotten back, so we got to see some big fish again, and Nate ran into the captain of the first boat they chartered for fishing years ago. The captain showed Nathan a lot of fun stuff, Nate said he was totally into it!
I saw a place that sold concretes, so I made sure to leave enough room after dinner to go and get a yummy treat. The kids enjoyed theirs, too! Emma got a raspberry sundae, Carden enjoyed a hot fudge sundae, Nathan an cone, and Nate and I got concretes mixed with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Yum!

I love the pic of Nathan and the sand on his face, his hair looks red! Also, did you know we have a tropical smoothie cafe in HSV? I ate there last week with my friend Kansas. It is on 72 near sparkman across from the old goodies/office depot/hibbits, etc.
