Florida Part One

 I will try and not bore you with a million pictures and stories of Florida.  Oh wait, yes I will.  I don't think you'll be bored though.  We had some pretty fun and interesting days last week and got some amazing pictures.  Just look at that water!  I wish I could jump in right now again.  The weather was perfect (minus the 2 days it rained on us).  One day was the Pirate Cruise.  This blog is mostly gonna be about that day and a few ocean shots.  I don't want to throw everything in on you in one blog.  


Will LOVED the pirate boat tour.  Owen liked it too but not to the extent Will did.  Will loved all the stories of treasure, the face painting, the water gun fights, and swabbing and cleaning the deck after the water gun fight.  Owen got into swabbing the deck as well.


 The pirate staff did a great job keeping the kids (both boys and girls) entertained for 2 hours.  It was hot as Hades, but the kids didn't seem to mind it. 


That night we went to dinner at a local favorite, Pampano Joe's. This place sits literally on the beach.  Beautiful.  My only complaint about that place was even though we got to sit outside it was on the side of the road and not the ocean.  Bummer.  I guess we would have had to get there at 2pm to secure a table like that for dinner time.

After dinner we decided to go look for crabs or "tabs" as Owen called them all week.  We had heard from people who had visited Destin before to bring some flashlights so you could look for crabs when the sun went down.  Even though none of the boys found "tabs" they enjoyed looking for them.  Will and Owen were both very good at pretending they found crabs, what the crabs were doing, how they got there, where they were going next....They both told little crab stories as we walked along the shore.  Memories!  Then the flashlight throwing began (by Owen of course) and we had to leave before he snagged someone in the head with his flying flashlight.



More stories and pictures to come, but just check out this water!  Fantastic!
