We went to the beach every day while in Destin but I only took the camera with me once. Too much risk! Sand and water are a camera's mortal enemies. But I HAD to get some pictures. And no lenses or camera bodies were injured in the taking of these photos. Phew!
Dash was our little water boy. He was always playing in the water and showed no fear.
Jumping in the waves was probably his favorite.
Liam liked the water in moderation. He'd pop in for a wave or two, then head back to play in the sand.
Oh look, my feet. How lovely.
Seashell washaway.
All the kids liked being in the little boat. Sometimes we'd keep in shore with a little water inside- perfect for Sawyer and Grey!
On this particular morning, while Dash enjoyed the boat, Liam played in the little wade pool that formed up on the sand.
As did his cousins.
It's a good place to relax, too.
Sawyer agrees.
Speaking of relaxing, isn't this just the picture of serenity?
"Hey, you look too relaxed, come play with me instead."
Later on, more kids in the boat. Sawyer's in the now but soon it got too choppy. It's a good thing because...
They hit a big one! Will they make it?
They made it! Well, the kids did, Pompa not so much. On our very last trip to the beach we had or first and only boat wipeout. Luckily, Sean snatched the kids right up. I didn't see it and I'm glad I didn't.
We did this a lot, carrying the kids out into the big waves. They felt adventurous AND safe.
Hey look, there's Grey! He was a bit sick the whole week and so I didn't want to wake him from his restorative sleep. So most mornings one parent went with the twins to the beach while the other waited for Grey to wake up. He still enjoyed the water despite feeling yucky. That first splash of a wave was annoying to him but then he'd get used to it. But he definitely liked being held the most.
Oh that perfect water and sand- I'm ready to go back!
