Birthday-part 2-Beach

So, as we arrived we saw these flags flapping wildly in the wind (click on it to enlarge). Dangerous currents. common. check. Dangerous marine life? are there man-eating crabs? turtles migrating that would shoot poisonous darts if you were in their way from nest to ocean? no. sharks. enter water at your own risk (which is what all bodies of water in the state of FL technically have to say because if it's not sharks, it's alligators. really.)
Sadly, Haley was very busy with her friends and I didn't get many pictures of them. I was really paranoid about getting my camera covered with either sand or salt water, or worse yet stolen by the many non-American speaking people that surrounded us and stared at the camera. and circled our seating area.
Love this one of Sierra, H. and Kristen. It was the roughest we've ever seen the Gulf Coast due to the red flag conditions. I wondered but forgot by the time I got home, what weather was churning in the gulf to create such.... Atlantic-ness (but the water was August-Atlantic Ocean temps).
Love this picture of big/little sis. They are growing up way too fast. I love them so much.
No, he's not really *that* much taller than the girls. But they are slowly accepting the fact that not only will he be taller, but stronger as well. Good thing they listened to their mother when they would pick on him as a baby when she told them that "one day he'll be bigger than you and will remember all these mean things you're doing to him." actually, I don't think he remembers anything but being smothered in love. and water.
