Seagrove Beach, FL

We just got back from our annual family Florida trip.  This year we stayed at a place in Seagrove Beach.  It was very nice, and we really enjoyed our time there.  Derek just started a new job, so he and his family were not able to make the trip this year.  We missed you guys! 

Being the only nephew and grandson present, RC got all kinds of attention!  He is so much fun at the beach.  The guy loves it!  He likes to play in the sand and in the water!  He is pretty much up for any beach activity!

Uncle Beau had to get in on helping dig a little pool for Russell.  :)  

Mimi and Poppy got him this dump truck.  He loved it!  He would run around and around in circles pushing it. He got going a little fast and RC flipped!  He stayed in this pose for like 2 minutes and laughed.  HILARIOUS!  He looked like he was doing some modeling.  
RC was NOT a huge fan of the crabs that Poppy caught.  He wanted to look, but only from a distance. 

Dad loves catching these big blue crabs.  He is the only one that is brave enough to pick them up!  Beau and I hunted for crabs too, but we went for the sand crabs at night.  They are not nearly as mean looking! 

Beau and I went out one night for our 4th wedding anniversary.  We went to a little dive called Hurricanes that was known for their oysters.  Beau LOVES oysters so we had to try it out.  His favorite flavor ended up being what they called the Mexico.  It had pico de gallo and salsa on it.  I am not a huge fan, so I stuck with my favorite Florida meal:  fish tacos. 


One of our favorite parts of going to Florida is definitely the food.  Dad loves to find "where the locals eat"!  We had some wonderful meals! 
We also cruised over to Shipwreck Island this year.  It is a big water park in Panama City.  We all had a really good time.  RC loved running around the kids area.  He was so cute!  My favorite part was riding the big tube ride with Beau, Mom, and Dad.  I laughed so hard!  So fun!

They don't look anything alike, do they?!  Ha!
The waves were really rough this year.  Dad actually had a bad spill that left his nose and shoulder without any skin.  He was NOT happy!  Beau had to get a boogie board.  The rafts were just not cutting it for riding the waves.  The flags were either red or yellow all week. 
 Overall, it was a wonderful trip!  Beau and I got to relax and spend time together and with my family.  I absolutely loved it and could go back tomorrow for another week!


Until next time Florida.....................
